Finally winter gave up and gave us a perfect spring day. It was 70 degree's and 5 mph winds at the Fargo Rotary at Fargo South High School and the Central Boys and Girls took advantage of the great day to add some new state qualifiers and dozens of PR's. Killian Gause started the Knights off well by PRing in the 300 Hurdles and qualifying for the State Meet. Soon after Killian ran the second leg of the state qualifying 4x100m relay. The four members are pictured: Rylie Devier, Killian Gause, Carrington Adams, and Wes Austin. Other PR's for the meet were: Brandon Gregie (300H), Alex Grove (300H), Darian Colgrove (300H, 110H), Camron Roehl (1600m, 800m), Nick Ackley (1600m), Alex Dianant (1600m, 800m), Leif Larsen (1600m), David Hettich (1600m), Thomas Jordan (400m), Taylor Deem (200m), Shane Jensen (3200m), Cody Rowley (3200m), Adam Grove (Long Jump), Terance Adams (Discus), Brenden LaHaise (Javelin, Shot), and Dontay Allen (Javelin).

Even though it was 50 degrees and a steady wind out of the North, the Central Boy's and Girl's distance runners had a very good day. The Girls 4x800 started out the meet by winning the race with a state qualifying time of 10:07. The relay was lead off by Taylor Ray, followed by Ali Lindsay, Rachel Cox, anchored by Lily Larsen. We decided earlier in the week to keep several of our distance runners fresh for the two mile and hopefully qualify them for state. But as the wind steadily picked up throughout the meet I was starting to feel pretty nervous about that decision. But eigth grader Karly Ackely ran a very smart steady paced race and put those concerns aside and ran 12:01 to qualify and place 3rd over-all. Camron Roehl followed up her race with a win in the boys division and a state qualifying time of 9:58. Freshman Leif Larsen finished 2nd in 10:22, a 11 sec PR, showing that he has the ability to qualify the two mile before the end of the season. Both of the short relays ran their fastest times of the year and are very close to qualifying performances!
Personal Record (PR) peformances were turned in by many Central athletes: Taylor Deem (300H), Rylie Devier (100, 200), David Hettich (1600,PV), Rufus Gibieor (400), Darrian Colgrove (110H), Ben Wood (800, TJ), Taylor Tomlinson (800), Adam Grove (200, TJ), Lucas Nelson (TJ), Brendon LaHaise (Jav), Terance Adams (Shot). It was a very windy day (29 mph) at Cushman Field on Tuesday, with gusts up to 43 mph. I was very proud of the boys, they completed hard all meet long. We have been stressing to make every jump, every throw, and every race be the best they can do at that moment, and I know that is exactly what they gave me on Tuesday. The final score didn't go our way. There will be no buts, or if's, just the understanding that we are going to go back to work today, and prepare for our next challenges at Friday's Packer Relays. Even with the less than ideal conditions we did have several athletes PR: Thomas Jordan (300H), Darian Colgrove (300H), Randall Morin (1600m), Rylie Devier (200m), Rufus Gbieor (200m), Nick Ackley (3200m), Adam Grove (HJ), Justin Chute (LJ, PV), Terance Adams (Discus), Brenden LaHaise (shot), and Dontay Allen (Javelin).
