HOT SPRINGS JUNIOR Kyle Lawson runs a heat of the 110 meter hurdles in Missoula Friday. Lawson went on to place fifth in the 110 finals and fourth in the 300 meter hurdles at the State C meet.
MISSOULA – Kyle Lawson never quits competing; the Savage Heat standout is always ready for another game or contest of athletic skill.
One of the more accomplished athletes in western Montana this past school year (after earning All-Conference and All-State honors in football last fall, and All-District 14C recognition in basketball), Lawson topped off an outstanding track and field campaign for Hot Springs at the State C meet in Missoula last week by placing in both hurdles races.
Scoring all six team points for Hot Springs in the two-day meet held at MCPS Stadium, Lawson finished fourth in the 300 meter hurdles in 42.83 seconds and recorded a career-best 16.60 seconds in running down fifth place in the 110 meter hurdles.
An athlete for all seasons who is game to try most any event, Lawson also marked 10-6 in the pole vault and tied for eleventh in that specialty in the State C meet.
Bert DeTienne also competed at the State C for Hot Springs in the 800 meters, and WilJames Courville and Michael Marrinan, joined DeTienne and Lawson in running the 400 meter relay in Missoula. The 1600 meter relay team of Kawika Ilac, Quincy Styles-DePoe, Lawson and DeTienne also ran in Missoula.
The Hot Springs track and field program is coached by Andrew Leichtnam.
