M-ettes taking eleven to State B Meet

The Malta M-ettes took second place as a team in the 2022 Northern B Divisional meet in Great Falls.

Glasgow won the meet with 120.33 points. Malta had 107 points, Conrad was third with 93.33 points, Fairfield was fourth with 58 points, and Cut Bank took fifth with 45 points.

Malta won the meet the last two years, but the team also graduated Erica Smith, who accounted for over thirty points, and is without Lauren Tuss, who also scored points.

"It is still rewarding to get second and see all of them do well and place," Malta head Coach Kaitlyn Smith said.
