Billings West's Isaiah Claunch and Capital's Thomas Carter voted SBLive’s Montana High School Athletes of the Week

Congratulations to Billings West's Isaiah Claunch and Capital's Thomas Carter for being voted SBLive’s Montana High School Athletes of the Week for April 4-10!

Claunch, a senior track and field athlete, launched a state-leading javelin throw of 189 feet, 10 inches – a personal record – at the GHS Triangular.

Carter, a junior track and field athlete, took over the state lead in the 100 and 200 meters, running personal bests in both races – 10.83 seconds and 22.24 seconds – in a dual meet against Hellgate.

Both athletes received 46.15% of the total vote. If this were an election, we would have a run-off. Because it’s high school sports, we get to give out swag and awards to two great athletes!
