The weather for the annual Central Knights vs Red River Duel started out nice but by the end of the meet the temperature dropped and wind increased to make the 4x400m relay a chilly last event. Red River won the duel but both the Girls and Boys team competed hard and showed a lot of improvement. Jasmine Lindblad and Terence Adams had a great day throwing the shot and discus. Bilal Sulieman swept the long jump and triple jump with impressive jumps for the first outdoor meet. We also had five rookie track boys running the 300m Hurdles for the first time. I was very pleased with how they did and am excited to see how they improve over the next few years.
The boys and girls distance runners brought the success they had indoors to the outdoor track. Camron ran 4:28.88 to break Paul Schafer's (GFC) meet record. He followed that state qualifying race with a win the 800m in a time of 2:02:98, just missing State Qualilfying. Karly Ackley lead the deep distance girls team to a first place in the mile, 5:28.21 (State Qualiflying) followed by Alexis Roehl, Rachel Torrey, Grace Roehl, and Mandy Williamson to help the girls place five in the top 6 spots. Karly and Rachel Cox placed 1st and 2nd in the 800m. Eight grader Rachel Torrey PR'd in the 3200m by 27 seconds to win her first high school race. Grace Roehl, Alexis Roehl, and Mandy Williamson all raced well to place in the top 5. Sophomore Leif Larsen continued his strong spring season with a win in the 3200m for the boys, followed by fellow Knights, David Hettich, Shay Doward, Walker Matthew, and Ryan Keogh who all placed.
