Altmiller, Paulsen advance to State C meet

And a pair of spear-throwers shall lead them.

The State C meet will be held in conjunction with the State AA meet at the Laurel Sports Complex Thursday through Saturday and coach Denise Montgomery's Plains track and field team will be represented there by standout javelin throwers Kylee Altmiller and Malachi Paulsen.

A junior, Altmiller pitched the spear a career-best 119 feet, 6 inches to win third in the girls' javelin at the Western C meet in Missoula last week, while Paulsen, a senior, air-lifted his spear 153-1 to earn fourth place in the boys' javelin.

Although Altmiller and Paulsen are the only two Plains athletes moving on to the State C, many others tried to make their way there in Missoula last week.

For the Trotters, Audrey Brown, Cree Lulack, Lexa Craft, Rachel McNulty and Deryian Sheehan also carried the colors for Plains, and Gabe Gamboa, Nathan McNulty, A.J. Jermyn, Charlie Rehbein and Tucker Foster competed for the Horsemen.
