One secret is explosive weight training. Guilfoyle has squatted 205 pounds in the gym for a max.<br>In the field events, LeeAnn Pekovitch also played a large role in the M-ettes victory. She won the state championship title in the discus and placed second in both the javelin and shot put. <br><br>FOOTBALL<br><br>Head football coach, Scott King, has much to be proud of. Out of 130 games played while coaching at Malta High, his ferocious Mustangs have been victorious 104 times. The Mustangs have won two state championships, earned a 2nd place, and made it to the semi-finals three years. Out of 214 students at Malta High School, 80 turned out for football this last fall. The mustangs have found out how to win and not very many kids want to miss out on it. <br>Malta s football season was filled with exciting moments, as they fought their way to capture the state crown. First Team All-State Quarterback, Cody Oxarart, led the Mustangs on offense. In a quarterfinal game against Fort Benton, All-State defensive tackle, Lance Spencer, shined in the limelight to help his team advance in the playoffs. In double overtime, Spencer snagged an interception and returned it 85 yards for a touchdown, leading the Mustangs to a 35-34 win. They went on to beat the Cut Bank Wolves 20-7 for the state championship title. Reflectingon the win, Coach King said,  When I think about these kids in the future, I will remember a group of unselfish athletes. That s a characteristic that title teams have. Jesse Brown, Josh Roberts and Ty Salsbery were all named All-State. <br><br><br>BOYS BASKETBALL<br><br>Malta s Boys Basketball team won the state title in 1996 and 1998. Coach Bernie Wasser taught his players what it takes to become champions. His team listened and played as a unit. Through a lot of hard work, they rose to the top. All-State key player, RJ Tollefson, led the Mustangs in their quest to be the best. <br><br>CONCLUSION<br><br>What is the key to Malta s high level of achievement? Simply put, all athletes, regardless of sport, train on the same program. The remarkable thing about this successful athletic program is that most of the great competitors are three-sport athletes. For example, in wrestling, Lance Spencer placed third in state last year in the 189-pound class and also ran a leg on the 1,600-meter relay team that won the state title. All-State quarterback, Cody Oxarart, helped win a state championship in football and basketball and was also on the 1,600-meter relay track team that won state. What an awesome accomplishment to be able to call yourself a three-sport state champion! LeeAnn Pekovitch has achieved All-State status in track, volleybatjS!(i1$Qp,L{s/Ňm,< i_ضBY4[rYF YGWpdy~Q$TW\XAgSn:UYV5v%sSP8; .t8@ͱvU *}NRf#"Z2(u[TKf[?NjqlwoW0 LK-0NͶn078~iZ&i6ڤ7b:rcVlx '|RHF7ilٲ֧̹|5i[7ZE| tP,)ed a_REzޔ>8r]/ wOo{j z%DFBQԫwV#Q-R8k֙qgBRM* tΣL[XcU{ P }fce?⛠V99 Sͨ~م͛@Qȷcis`MkyfF?\7r!SLАHwr +v#aPdGul%>{`S\3K8^ A94i)BGѝMtmGy&,W#j-$1*~%#qF#`Թuec]@ Y2Dxi izZ0[I%eLzL3B7b?釄9[#G$Ptj*FQUC2kU(-r< yY Vx,+ӒҼZ}LT s-xZ݈SkN_ zs,ˋ%=/1vMKF&I M#(GoMh>,ZZ(:аqÈaU-ˎGit+(KEl;w#ch"2oz埗.tK4HZUxD 3'3N҅i kʵۓ|m_Vl7:j+sE[VlfĀ᯶C]y|B!IdR"ܦoPW~qF ==[ZX-"HQFTAȏtKdR\N@I4;.RMd<,(upC)AɼhDQVfi#cK 1]8.Aq׫j 258&q s[iFMZgck*!)P:&!j0aD:wv- u$^po+@#ŃU+ȝudS+wm|!}ܟ[H hM;jV $7zuh#dT!8(J,@qe6lUڄVo._t2'x'Io/dJQӄL#n -o`:]w$ <2$zS9_0e7s| MYxz\x_/ʏ"sD-幺gU'bEw1V*0#8o,l>\1cO?-6;&AJ6 _+_6N= .;`lĝnNygmy0:+@ oɽͽK(xPeVrCğGsiȌ(\ uiWX8N8)KxJp?'tShj4PUQT{(n-lƻbͿ3qcwp5Y::΃kЭ¾JKE QRV?oZ8xNtB7ʂz;w9 /ikp2/6 ?)'IpFؖgkLU}ocq ,QF# @"7;툳lF63>ء՚ kݞ{moXsj7L=jcu7yp\ 3)UTDri n/^%o8*$v -=a]_Chi=U%PBzt#mRMRjV#R(UK}:0$Cю^'#?id @6 YWc.0SyWY[!aQ<|ksΩ˯F[i_ Ch^iV^Y;Q@ R܀xV+FO"Eh:ƟVqbc{~@?f<'7AɾG,(w=2W#Hx=skA5ڐ}IX3SzrO?k)sJE[g3HK Ez \&$\bjHV(mb;Gr%Q,u^}n#unc)QC)L ez(ĤzcCHJqDKPp#O֊1"Ȅ p=jYnGp1Z cO/@͌l׃S ʒDAڙaٵBk\T J*iZ֨‡nVNr7,[djPsr<(H$l #9'lMvl:a7c5yLXF(zSŊaUq5J+x+˙ˋ N@nd>dęImR|$p6fvmj:mrFg@8S/~j?Ys=|zZES@kbmcB)O-ܜAw/6FӶlwЌ*-:&g5Wڸ`c,>;l;zng?™rS$/!OALv&4!iנ'`wf}"Af%o9Mn+JU-"zr:Ʌ~L<ʘSq`1"Ue!VTW|=]2Z.TU!d<k]]DFm_pJqmC@`͙' IY%=ݽ[*V ֲqΗcZPHYVŝcvi)V+!ֺuƧۤrz~,GXRM7:pe%zwZHdm}ZtEp$KG$1LJs-2!#6o*ͧ>"p8ȀҤWB,)1RE|MEa$>ЊFuee!V&D|=KmC&& jwƎMv#rۭ~DrxW޽2ֵBwLHAQ~t|}3}ϕ;rRIIϾؑMWmߋ7]$xTS~- ~We7 Oק٥z׿,R-Z12_>'~9Q;vֿEr:_{Ru'jmc$uڃ~1yoZ䑾ibeޤsӑZקPrwC8MmF.=>;ҽ)?Ϧnu@OS5+ox{t;U @?klPqzȥOyH nwVM7k>;Q3˜!(
