1 week ago | bozemandailychronicle.com | Braden Shaw

KALISPELL — Unlike previous years where the 4x400 meters relay decided the team title, Gallatin’s 13-point lead over Helena erased all doubt. Instead, Raptors head coach Chantel Jaeger-Smith told the group to treat the race as “their victory lap.”Junior Izzie Donaghey said the relay was the “cherry on top” for Gallatin. The team of Donaghey, senior Isabel Ross, senior Claire Rutherford and sophomore Hazel Cooper earned the Raptors a second-place finish in 3 minutes, 58.43 seconds.

KALISPELL — Isabel Ross may have been unsure about setting a new personal record going into the girls 800 meters final. But her execution in the race only displayed confidence. The Gallatin senior took control immediately, with sophomore Hazel Cooper trailing in second. Ross felt relaxed on the first lap, she said, and “really went for it” on lap two to further extend her lead.

Going into the 2025 track and field season, Gallatin head coach Chantel Jaeger-Smith emphasized how this could be the year for the girls team to shine. The Raptors placed third as a team at last year’s Class AA meet and second in 2022. With the returning talent, Jaeger-Smith said the Gallatin girls would be “hungry for that gold” this season. That has meant battling with teams like Helena and Billings West throughout 2025.

Paige Gerlach didn’t have to look far for inspiration to pursue college lacrosse. When Gerlach was a sophomore, she saw then-senior teammate Eloise Trafton commit to Jacksonville University — becoming the first Bozeman girls lacrosse player to play at the Division I level. During their time as high school teammates, Gerlach said Trafton was always a “really big cheerleader." Gerlach also had coaches support her pursuing her own path in college lacrosse.

There was only a brief pause of recognition between the ball reaching Gallatin junior Josie Stuart’s glove at third base and the ensuing celebration. The out was the final one the Raptors needed to secure a berth in the Class AA tournament for the second year in a row. It’s a goal Gallatin has focused on each at-bat this season, head coach Michael Coleman said.

Despite the ups and downs of this track and field season, Gallatin junior Isabella Donaghey is grateful to be in this position. Shortly before the 2025 track season began in March, Donaghey’s friend, 2024 Gallatin graduate Jace Thompson, took his own life. Thompson’s memorial also coincided with the season-opening track meet on March 28 in Belgrade. That weighed on Donaghey emotionally, given Thompson was someone she considered to be like an older brother.

Morgan Jones didn’t think she was going to make it past her opening height of 5 feet in the girls high jump. Recently, Jones, a senior at Bozeman High, had moved her starting mark back to gain more speed on the approach. At the Last Chance Invite Friday in Belgrade, Jones had tried three different starting marks and wasn’t lining up with the bar. She still cleared 5-0 and her personal record 5-2, but missed her first two attempts at 5-4.

BOZEMAN — There was a freedom for Grace Gilbreth in the women’s 3,000-meter steeplechase being one of the first events at the Bryan Clay Invitational. It was a night race, which helped the energy levels. There were pace lights on the track. Gilbreth was also facing a talented field of runners from throughout the NCAA. She thought to herself before the race how, if a program record was going to be set, this was the environment to do it in. “So I was like, ‘OK, just hang on to them.
