Standout Butte High senior track & field athletes Brett Polich and Dylann Bartoletti are this week’s Leskovar Honda Athletes of the Week.

The honors come after both Bulldogs have been contributing consistently solid performances for Butte High all season.

Polich takes home the boys’ honor after placing fourth in the shot put at Friday’s Harry “Swede” Dahlberg Invitational at the Gene Fogarty Complex. He posted a season-best throw of 51 feet, 3 inches.

That performance came after he won the event in a dual against Dillon with a put of 49-2 on Tuesday. On April 11, Polich, who has also performed well in the discus, posted a mark of 51-2 to win a dual meet with Kalispell Glacier in Kalispell.

Polich’s mark of 51-3 is the eighth best throw in Montana this season. It ranks fourth in the Class AA. The future Montana Western football player was also a standout in the trenches for Butte High’s football team. He started at center and defensive tackle and was named an alternate for the Montana East-West Shrine Game.

Bartoletti receives the girls honor for the third different sport this school year. That comes after Bartoletti ran to victory in the 100- and 200-meter races against Dillon Tuesday on the Charlie Merrifield Track. She won the 100 in 13.08 seconds before claiming victory in the 200 with a time of 27.76 seconds.

Both times were faster than the ones she ran to win the same events April 11 in a dual with Glacier in Kalispell. She won the 100 in 13.58 against Glacier, when she took the 200 in 28.61 seconds.

Bartoletti was a key contributor to the Butte High girls’ basketball team that placed fourth at the Class AA State tournament last month in Bozeman. She also won the Western AA Divisional golf title last September in Missoula.

For the third 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 to encourage more children to get up, get out and try all kinds of sports and activities.
