This week’s Sports now is going to be a bit of a rapid fire edition with a light week in the local sports scene while the spring sports season gears up for postseason play soon. We look at Columbia Falls Wildcats big weekend at the Sapa-Johnsrud baseball tournament that took place at Glacier Bank Park. Then we’ll keep the Wildcats theme going with some C-Falls softball action, after that we’ll get into crosstown tennis and some track and field action that took place in Whitefish before we move into the college sports news including a standout performance from a valley product at the Big Sky Track and Field Championships. After that we’ll close things out with some exciting Griz football news.

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.
