Bigfork’s Tamret Savik didn’t just win a state title—he rewrote the record books.
This week on Keeping Score: Poster Player of the Week, we recognize one of the most remarkable performances from the Montana high school track and field season. At the Class A State Championships in Laurel on May 30th, Savik shattered a 48-year-old state record in the triple jump with a personal-best leap of 48 feet, 4¾ inches, eclipsing a mark that had stood since 1978.
The standout senior wasn’t finished there. Savik also captured the Class A state championship in the high jump with another personal best of 6 feet, 6 inches and added a runner-up finish in the long jump, accounting for a huge share of Bigfork’s points as the Vikings battled to a second-place team finish.
Known for his relentless work ethic and competitive drive, Savik’s historic weekend was the culmination of years of dedication across multiple sports. His record-breaking jumps and championship performances helped cement his legacy as one of the premier athletes in Bigfork history.
