She earned All-Conference honors three times and All-State honors twice. This talented young lady signed to play for the University of Montana on scholarship next year, where she will join her older sister Cheryl. She has also earned All-Conference honors in volleyball, and oh yes, she even runs track. Where does she find the strength to compete? She very soberly replies,  You have to work hard in the off season. I love to train especially on the bench and power clean. Keller has a 150-pound max on the power clean. <br><br>GIRLS TRACK<br><br>Trying to stop Malta s track team would be equivalent to an ant trying to stop a bowling ball at the King Pin bowling alley. They have won the last three state championship titles. <br>Mariah Guilfoyle was as hot as a fire and as fast as a speeding bullet at the state championships. The two-time defending champion exploded into the tournament with a spectacular 43.34 second opener in the 300 meter hurdles, shattering the previous 19-year-old state and all-class record of 43.54. That was only the beginning. Next, she crushed another record in the 100-meter hurdles, with a 14.78 time. Then she went on to capture the 100-meter championship. Before putting out the coals and calling it a day, she ran a 25.01 in the 200 meter hurdles, setting a new state record. The previous year she set the state record in the 200 during her 10th race of the meet! What an awesome record for the University of Montana bound sprinter who has laid claim to ten individual state championship titles and was a member of Malta s winning 400-meter relay team in 1998! Head Track coach, Tad Shye, commented that he hasn t seen anyone better in his eight years of coaching the M-ettes.  She s established herself, for this decade, anyway, as the premier track athlete in this state. Altogether, in the last three state meets Guilfoyle has scored 122 points. All her hard work on the BFS program has paid off. So what is the secret to her blazing speed? 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 th
