<body><div>BUTTE, Mont. — It was a perfect day for elite high school athletes to be tested at elevation at Stodden Park.Hundreds of high schoolers took part in the Butte Invite on Thursday afternoon in 5k races.On the girls’ side, Kallie Clayton of Billings Skyview took the gold, followed by Avery Young and Ceclia Huckeby, both of Big Sky.“I was really close to my PR and I thought I did well because I was kind of running alone. I usually like to chase people in races but I had no one to chase, so I think I did really well for having no competition in front of me,” said Clayton, a sophomore. “I think I have more confidence in my pacing now.”Gallatin won the girls team title, followed by Helena in second and Billings West in third.For the boys, Alex Scott of Preston, Idaho, won by nearly 20 seconds over Quindell Yellowtail and Oliver Brown of Billings Senior.“Surprising! I did not think that would happen! I was thinking it would be a really close finish when I was looking at the times (before the race). And then, I noticed about right before the second half that I could go faster than these guys. And I was just in 2nd place at this time and then I went in front of him and I was fighting as hard as I could to keep the same pace,” said Scott, a sophomore. “It gives me more (confident). I’m hoping that by the end of the season I can be a state champ. That just got a whole lot more real.”CMR took the boys team title, with Senior and Skyview finishing in second and third, respectively.The high school cross-country season continues through Oct. 24, the date of the state meet in Billings.</div></body>
