MacDonald Earns Fourth In Javelin

Wolf Point’s Katelyn Mac-Donald entered the javelin event at the Class B state track meet with probably the least amount of experience, but that didn’t stop the sophomore was placing in Laurel on Saturday, May 29.

Prior to this track season, MacDonald’s events have consisted of the 200, 400, relays and shot put, but she was willing to give the javelin a try.

“I’m pretty strong and I like to try new things,” the sophomore said. MacDonald placed fourth at the Class B state meet with a personal best of 115-06. Her best mark came during the finals’ portion of the event.

“I’m really surprised,” MacDonald said of placing. “There were a lot of people who doubted me. I was one of those people.”

Choteau’s junior Sadie Grove earned the state title with a best of 123-04.

“My goal was just to get in the top 10,” MacDonald said. “I really didn’t know anything about jav before. I didn’t expect to get this far.”
