Columbia Falls sprinter Malaki Simpson knows this is his year to become a state champion. In his three prior appearances at the state meet in Laurel (2021, 2023) and Butte (2022) Simpson hasn't claimed any individual titles.  Another trip to Laurel awaits Simpson, who is prequalified in the 100 and 200, as well as with the 400-meter relay team he anchors.Simpson currently sits with the fastest time in Class A and fourth-fastest in the state for the 100 at 10.85 seconds, and second in Class A for the 200 at 22.05 — just .04 off of the fastest time. As a junior he finished second in the finals of both the 100 meter and 200 meter dashes.

“I think it has pushed me to try harder and to hopefully bring home the win in both events,” Simpson said.

On Friday, Mat 3rd, Halladay and Rob Quist joined us for a lunchtime show on our press floor. The father-daughter duo shared love letters to Montana and a few puns; their family talent spans across generations.

Singer-songwriter Rob founded the Mountain Mission Wood Band and has had his songs sung by Michael Martin Murphy and Loretta Lynn. He has appeared with musical acts Heart, the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, Jimmy Buffett, and Dolly Parton, among others.

When Halladay — a music talent in her own right — and Rob aren’t crooning a country melody with trio partner Clara Weick, they’re acting in movies, playing shows, and creating a plan to bring more music to Montana children.

Big thanks to our sponsor this month, Parkside Credit Union! They are passionate about serving their communities and look no further to find a loan in northwest Montana. Connect with them - www.parksidefcu.com
