Ella Moodry, Brityn Stewart and Sam Henderson are this week’s Leskovar Honda Athletes of the Week.

The honors come after the outstanding Butte athletes posted big-time performances at their State track meets over the weekend.

Stewart and Moodry share the girls’ honor after they each captured State titles in the javelin. Moodry, a senior at Butte Central, won her third Class A State title in Laurel. She won this time with a mark of 132 feet, 1 inch. She beat second-place Daeja Fike by one inch.

Moodry, who has signed to compete for the University of Montana, also won the State javelin title as a freshman and junior. She took second to Fike during her sophomore year.

Stewart, a Butte High junior, captured the Class AA crown in Great Falls by launching the javelin 130-7. She beat second-place Ava Dierolf by 2 feet, 1 inch. Stewart’s previous best going into State was 117-2.

In addition to track & field, Stewart is a standout in basketball and volleyball for the Bulldogs.

Henderson, a junior at Butte High, capped his first year competing for Butte High by placing second in the triple jump and third in the high jump. The Butte Central transfer busted off a personal-best mark of 47 feet, 2 ¼ inches in the triple jump. Scott Klinker of Great Falls High won the title at 48- ½.

Henderson’s mark broke the school record of 47-1 set by Scott Hemmert in 1989.

In the high jump, Henderson cleared 6 feet, 4 inches to finish in a six-way tie for second. He placed third on jumps. Quinn Clark of Gallatin won by clearing 6-8.

For the second year, Leskovar Honda, home of the 20-year, 200,000-mile warranty, is teaming up with the ButteCast to honor the finest student-athletes from the Mining City in an effort to encourage more children to get up, get out and try all kinds of sports and activities.
