GLASGOW — The Scobey boys track and field team ran away with the Eastern C divisional track and field title in Glasgow on Thursday, while the girls team held off Westby-Grenora in a tight race. Scobey’s boys piled up 147 points, cruising past second-place Richey-Lambert. Scobey’s girls scored 91 points, while Westby-Grenora placed second with 79.
Scobey used their combination of top-end talent and team depth to grab the divisional title. Riley Linder had himself a day. Linder won the 100-meter dash in 11.75 seconds, won the 110-meter hurdles in 15.85, placed first in the 300-meter hurdles in 41.67, and ran on the Spartans’ winning 400-meter relay team, which crossed the line in 45.79. Linder also won the javelin with a toss of 169 feet, 3 inches, which currently ranks No. 2 in Class C.
