Hi-Line Athletes of the Week

Eddie Harmon, Turner Track

A year ago, Eddie Harmon made Turner track and field history with a Class C state championship in the 800 meters. One year later, he did it twice. Last weekend in Great Falls, Harmon repeated as the 800-meter champion at the State C track meet, but he also added a state title in the 400 meters to his incredible track career. Harmon, who also finished third in the 200, teammate Cody Welsh, combined to help Turner to an outstanding fourth-place finish at the meet. He also excelled in basketball during his time as a Tornado.

Paige Nelson, Havre High Tennis

Two weeks ago, Havre High senior Paige Nelson became just the fourth HHS girls to earn Central A honors in tennis three straight times. Then, last week in Polson and Ronan, Nelson finished an outstanding tennis career by battling through heat and time at the State A tennis tournament. Nelson won two matches at her last state tournament, and came within one match of the podium. But it was her 6-7, 7-6, 7-5, three-hour win over Hamilton's Sarah Trihn which really stood out. Nelson was also a four-year standout in volleyball at Havre High.
