A couple of Sophomores made a statement at last night's Roseville meet:
Robert Mechura ran a 9:10 3200.
Laura McClary ran a 5:04 1600. I hadn't heard of her before...but she's apparently one to keep an eye on.
Looks like McClary’s PR was a 5:19, which is what she ran the first 2 meets of the season. Last year she went from a 5:55 to a 5:20. She’s been making good progress.
Laura McClary went sub-5 tonight at her True Team section meet. She ran 4:58.65 for 3rd place, right behind Taylor Isabel and Delia Johnson (both seniors).
Would love to see the splits on that race. Andrew Casey must have been low 1:50 or under, same with Bryce Stachewicz. Incredible time.
This group consists of 3 seniors (Kimmel / Casey / Stachewicz) and 1 soph (Griffin).
Griffin ran a 2:00 open 800 at the Lakeville Mega meet. He ran a 16:47 at XC sections. He will help bring the Lakeville North XC team potentially back to state even after losing all scorers. They have 2 sub-5 8th graders
Interesting true team results. Edina upsets Mounds View for the win in section 6AAA. Owatonna takes down LVS and LVN. Rosemount wins with Prior lake close. . Will be interesting to see who can claim the wildcards.

Girl’s 3200 @ Hamline Elite: 10 girls went sub-11. Jade Rypkema won it in 10:37. I was waiting to see Wayzata’s Grace Mignone break 11, and she did it tonight with a 10:58. Good for her!
And now tonight Grace Mignone went sub-5, with a 4:59.28. I’ve been waiting to see her break that barrier.
3200 boys 1- Westerlund 9:25 2- Gilles 9:27 3- Santiago 9:28 4- Sean Fries 9:32 5- Hamza Mohamed 9:35 6- Weber 9:39 7- Donaldson 9:40 8- McCollor 9:41 So the Tonka Freshman Fries beat ALL of the Wayzata guys here.
Unbelievable ending to the Mn True State AAA meet. Going into the last event Rosemount was leading Wayzata by 5.5 points. Wayzata needed to finish two places ahead to win. Going into the last exchange Wayzata and Rosemount were running one and two. Check out the last lap and see what happens here.
