Howard Wood special event fields picked
From staff reports
Published: 04/29/05 1:55 am A
loaded boys 400-meter dash special event should be the highlight of
the 81st edition of the Howard Wood Dakota Relays on May
6-7.
The race, slated for 7:30 p.m. May 7 at Howard Wood
Field, features all three South Dakota defending 400 champions as
well as a previous North Dakota state champion. But none of those
runners are even the favorite. That spot is held by Lincoln's Sayfe
Jassim, who narrowly missed the state's all-time 400 record earlier
this season.
The annual special events at Howard Wood are
some of the best athletic competitions of the year in South Dakota,
with the best performers from all the classes, as well as
out-of-state talent, racing.In a change of format, the boys and
girls special events will not be on the same night this year. The
girls, who also will run a 400, race Friday at 7:40
p.m.
While Jassim has the best time in the state this season,
the whole field will be right on his heels.Rapid City Central's Cole
Tucker (Class AA), Milbank's Ryan Conrad (A) and Northwestern's
Daniel Young (B) are the South Dakota defending champs and
Wahpeton's Jayce Miller is the North Dakota entrant.
Tucker
recently broke the state 100-meter record and Conrad won the
all-class Gold Medal at state last season.
The rest of the
boys field features Pierre's Quincy Christie, Rapid City Stevens'
T.J. Boehler and Vermillion's Ben Oberle.For the girls, the top
entrant might be Bridgewater-Emery's Heather Wollman, the defending
Class B champ in the 100, 200 and 400.
The other girls
entrants are Hills Beaver Creek's Cassi Tilstra, Mitchell
Christian's Andrea Nielsen, Lead-Deadwood's Breynn Feterl,
Wahpeton's (N.D.) Allie Smith, Rapid City Stevens' Samee Pagel,
Gayville-Volin's Emma Erickson and Parker's Abby Plucker.Smith is
the reigning Class B 200 and 400 champ in North Dakota. Erickson won
South Dakota's Class B cross country title last fall.
