MISSOULA — While the 2024 Montana high school track and field season technically started last week, most teams will be competing in their first meets of the season this week.
When the athletes do get on the track or in the field, there will be plenty of returning talent to watch, especially on the girls side.
Helena High standout Logan Todorovich, now a senior, will look to improve upon her Montana all-class record long jump of 19 feet, 4.5 inches she set at last year's Class AA state meet.
Brooke Zetooney of Whitefish and Olivia Lewis of Corvallis also return after tying or breaking Class A records in the 100-meter dash and 300-meter hurdles, respectively, while Breauna Erickson of Conrad will look to raise the bar in the pole vault after setting the Class B record last year.
And Class C runners Brooke Reuter of Savage and Taylee Chirrick of Roberts are back to defend their titles and class records. Reuter owns Class C's fastest times in the 100- and 200-meter dashes, and Chirrick has the classification's top times in the 400, 800 and 300 hurdles.
Below is a list of the returning state champions, compiled from the official 2023 results. Please email sports@ktvh.com with any errors or omissions.
