Tenacious
Tenae, Part 2!
The MHSA 60th State Cross
Country Championships
were held at Rebecca Farm,
a world class facility, in
Kalispell. And Tenae Baker
wrapped up her junior year
of Cross Country with a
Class B individual state title,
guiding the Scotties to a
State B 2nd Place team title
under first-year Head Coach
Tim Phillips. Manhattan
placed first with 93 points
with Glasgow just 10 points
behind. Tenae smoked the
competition, running the
course in 19:03.06; nearly
a minute ahead of Huntley
Project’s Avery Gerdes with
a time of 19:54.02. Shelby’s
Aeris Stewart was the only
other Class B girl to break
the 20 minute barrier with a
time of 19:59.08. Way to go,
Tenae, we are proud of you!
Also, hats off to Whitewater’s
Shelbi LaBrie, who won the
Class C individual title with
a time of 19:52.42. We’re
sure Mike Brandt will have a
photo by Andrew McKean great cross country write-up
to come.
 Winter
Weather
coming
A change in the weather is expected this week. Look
for hit or miss rain through Tuesday, changing to snow
by Wednesday. Heavy wet snow is possible Wednesday
night and Thursday. The greater chances look to occur
over higher terrain such as the Little Rockies and south
of the Missouri River and along the Yellowstone River
Valley.
Initial snowfall may be lost due to melt, but icy
conditions may develop Thursday night as temps fall into
the teens. Though the forecast can change depending on
the storm track, now is a good time to prepare and be
winter ready.
Now, reading down to the bottom of the NWS
forecast, it is total YUCK! Lows will be dipping into the
teens on Wednesday night, and then check out Friday
night and Saturday night. Will warmer temps return for
the little spooks on Halloween? (Tuesday, Oct. 31st)
Today: Mostly cloudy, with a high near 48. North wind around
11 mph becoming east.
Tonight: A chance of rain between 9pm and 4am. Mostly
cloudy, with a low around 34. East wind 11 to 16 mph
becoming south. Winds could gust as high as 23 mph.
Chance of precipitation is 50%.
Tuesday: Partly sunny, with a high near 46. Breezy, with a
southwest wind 14 to 22 mph becoming north northwest.
Winds could gust as high as 30 mph.

Distracted driving is any activity that diverts
attention from driving, including talking or texting on
your phone, eating and drinking, talking to people in
