2015 Track Stats:Top 10 Girls Distance Runners MileSplit South Dakota Staff Dec 18, 2014

These are your Top 10 returning distance runners in the state of South Dakota this spring. 

 The 800 Meters is loaded, with 9 girls returning that have run under 2:20. You had to run 5:17 just to make the Top 10 girls 1600 list. 

 Headlining the list? Emily Person of Rapid City Stevens. 

She's at of near the top of every event (#1-3200; #2-1600 and #3-800) 

Now a couple of questions:

 Will Macy Heinz or Jasymne Cooper jump in a 3200m this season and show their stuff and what will Madison standout Hailey Streff have to say about cracking the 800 Meter list?

2015 Track Stats:Top 10 Boys Distance Runners MileSplit South Dakota Staff Dec 15, 2014

Based off of last seasons PR's, here are the returning distance boys of South Dakota (AA, A & B). Class AA dominates this list, as only one runner from another class (Miller's Cole Sargent) made the Top 10's. One note, Brookings' Justice Lamer moved out of state. He is listed on both the 1600 and 3200 lists.

Unlike the distance Top 10's, this list includes a variety of Class B, A & AA runners. Note that there may be a couple of hand-held times into the mix, which is a huge consideration in looking at sprint/hurdle marks.

People graduate.  

So what's going to happen next year?  

Does Rapid City Stevens win another team title?  

Will there be a new sheriff in town or does Lincoln's Jasmyne Cooper take the individual crown again? 

Look for Class A & B, along with the Boys projections in the next few days.
