No, I just wasn't really any good as an underclassman and wasn't a contributor until last year. Ryan Benke hasn't state qualified since freshman year because of injuries, but if he is healthy this year he will be the fastest from Jamestown. He blew out his hammy right away outdoor as a soph, missed the rest of the year. Tried running a few meet last year but could only go 24.5-24.7 in the 200 so he shut down again for the rest of the year. He was looking to be a strong player and defnitely back to old form this offseason but now he's battling another (minor) injury and will probably miss all of indoors. Come outdoor time, Benke will be a major player again though in ND Track.

My worst time I ran last year was my first 400 at the Karlgaard meet

5 Swanson, William JAMESTOWN 54.84
Which was then my seed for the Shanley meet where I ran 53.6, which was just posted. I don't know what results YOU were looking at, because that was my worst time last year. You quite possibly must have been looking at two years ago, when I admit I wasn't any good. Your comment on the 55 especially makes me think that, seeing as I placed indoor at the WDA 55 last year.

And that 8th place I find to be personally not where I placed, because I was in the lane right next to Walth (who got 3rd) and thought I had possibly beat him through the line because we came together so close. But again that's just how it goes with hand timing, I'm sure I've benefited more than one time from it so it all comes back.
Regardless, I find it kind of silly that you seem to have something against me. If the 'vikings' in your name stands for Valley, you better be either Moritz or Engelhard if you're trying to demean me.
