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 the limelight to help his team advance in the playoffs. In double overtime, Spencer snagged an interception and returned itd by Stanford, Michigan State, Air Force and Army. He took the ACT test three times to get a score of 25 which got him a scholarship to Stanford.  However, said Rob,  I fng 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 BASKETALL<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 playedas 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 f achievement? Simply put, all athletes, regardless of sport, train on the same program. The remarkable thing abut 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-meer 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, volleybaa_Wp;}+8o[Z+ԉZh[܎kŸ TIis sAD܆ B =Ǡjg ,#ץ. zS|֐JOθ썇l?jp7N7zAh_ԁtH;zbl61ڇa]X^&aSƼ ژnG#i59>dL̬sdW,C?t=ڸzY^ 0OMo_XuïOi^#Ԛw^4XzQ7)F󞂹Fn^R抝٨A@j9R#sryhܠIcTltj} {l 'o{|ɿ: ǔt|ç2I⼛g%zIÏM~V7Y $Ax=@_ јT@ @%[Z2is*Cj-{r.󗘬4XvIHĽ@': ^{ؤ7e`w,7zsHŌ#nU *^٦>mTlyG1܄jrujSiks w8s.5.bc7oY'e.`Czf' 鷹ɒQij%PaCጚ]F5XaehR{O0ӸjInJojoV&E4wޟqW$ @ɽdp]?#MG˝JSizyI+8%I9Uzne}|X{y] 3G2T v؃ # ~IH12kKT9MM _=:x4]>98faS9d[F2gb S} ~bC2VHCMJ|%?1QDwzs)Ѻ]ݤ'%ov;`RKm>hlF͸4%NC}@1"N? 5OIᣑcjFC21H2<Є7˒"/%F \"9A1Ji jͫlږwR$=Gy@zb5տ6Lr+?ULS i?m"򮢳sc@:t# ZFz\_hم Aڕmon-'֙ED)+^~m=tV .DrZK2_K񴢌„ dK^L3> S\;Ռ1۵L5hR4;)=e z828& 4"5I?7t:x៙X5Y&?
