    The Whitefish High School Track and Field Season is coming down to the home stretch.

    Today, a look at one of the senior's who's leading the charge.

    Simon Douglas, is on a generational run this year. He's broke several Whitefish High School records this season.

    Douglas broke a 21 year old record in the 800 back in April at the MCPS Invite in Missoula. He time in the 800 was 1:54.43. Simon beat the previous mark, set in 2004 by Matt Helgath, by a whole second.

    Later in the season, at the ARM Meet in Whitefish, Simon broke a 17 year old school record, set back in 2008 by Drew Coco in the 1600 meter run, with a time of 4:21.88.

    Douglas is also currently 1st on the team in the 3200 with a season best time of 9:48.35.

    Last week at the Last Chance Quad, in Whitefish, I had the pleasure of catching up with Douglas and here's that 1-on1 interview:

    Simon Douglas and the Whitefish High School Track team will be taking part in the 2025 Western "A" Divisional Championship Meet, Friday and Saturday May 16th and 17th at Polson.

    The 2025 State "A" Track and Field Meet takes place the following week, at Legends Stadium, in Kalispell.
