Distance Events this weekend
Posted: Tue May 24, 2016 7:36 am
I am really looking forward to this weekend. I follow all track stuff, but really Class A distance events. This weekend should be outstanding in that regard. With Sam Clausnitzer (BHS), Leif Everson (Williston) and Hunter Lucas (Davies), the 1600 and 3200 on the boys side should be really fast and competitive. The 800 is stacked up as well. On the girls side, Karly Ackley (GFC), Mattie Shirley-Fairbairn (BHS) and Kelby Anderson (Century) should be similar. All three are in the top 10 all time in ND Class A in the 1600, and Shirley-Fairbairn and Ackley are 1 and 2 respectively all time in the 3200. And like the boys, the 800 is pretty stacked up and should be fun to watch. These are just the front runners, the fields in all of these events are deep and very talented. Distance running is at a very high level in ND right now. I can't wait.
