Central Attended the 1st Annual Eagles Relays on April 17th. We were fortunate to have a great spring day, 45 degree's and little to no wind for most events. This meet was a very unique experience for all teams as all events were done relay style. Running races either exchanged a baton or added your participant’s times together. Field events were your participant’s heights or distances added together. Central's distance runners ran to several wins. The boy's started the day with the 3x3200m race. The winning team was determined by adding together your three runner's times together. Senior Camron Roehl took advantage of the perfect running conditions, and the help of his future NDSU teammate from Fargo Davies Brandon Scheel. Both of them ran the fastest times in North Dakota this year Scheel was second with 9:29.11 and Camron winning in 9:22.92. Camron was just .18 from besting Jim Herberg's 1980 Central School record of 9:22.74. Sophmore Leif Larsen punched his ticket for the state meeet by running a PR of 9:57.04, finishing 3rd overall. David Hettich, another sophmore, also PRed with 10:41.89. These three boys combined for a time of 30:01.85 won the 3x3200.
The Central distance girls, not wanting to be outdone by the boys, were led with Freshman Karly Ackley running a blistering 11:24.21 (2nd fastest in ND) to win the girls 3x3200. She was followed by 7th grader Mandy Williamson, 12:16.39, in 5th and 8th Grader Rachel Torrey, 12:19.55, in 6th. All three girls turned in PR performances to have a combined time of 36:00.55 for an overall first place finish.
The Central boys also won the Distance Medley, with a team that consisted of Soph Leif Larsen (1200m), Senior Bilal Sulieman (400m), Senior Ian Kelly (800m) and Senior Camron Roehl (1600m), The girls team of 7th grader Alexis Roehl (1200m), 8th grader Rachel Torrey (400m), Junior Rachel Cox (800m) and Karly Ackley (1600m) finished second.
The Central boys triple jumping crew lead by the overall winner Junior Jake Mussman (40-06) won the boys 3xtriple jump team event.
