Havre standout wins gold at state games

Havre High track senior-to-be Sammy Evans had a busy weekend last weekend.

Evans competed in multiple events at the annual Big Sky State Games in Billings, and she came away with a pair of golf medals from the prestigious summer games.

In track and field, Evans captured a pair of golds in the 16-18 year-old division. She won the gold in the high jump by clearing 4-10, and she also went on to win the gold in the triple jump with a leap of over 36-4.

Evans also competed with a local team in the high school division in volleyball, along with having a chance to meet USA track and field great and former Olympic star Jackie Joyner Kersee.

Evans will be starting her senior year at Havre High this fall. She is a three-sport varsity star for the Ponies, competing in volleyball, basketball and track and field.
