Editor's Note: Each week 605 Sports will release the top-10 performers for track & field for all events and all classes. The information used for these lists comes from the top performers list provided on sdhsaa.com. 

Tuesday afternoon saw some outstanding performances, across the board, as last week’s Class A boys top-ten list took a beating. 

One of those performances was record breaking.

At the Lennox meet on Tuesday, Sioux Falls Christian junior Isaac Davelaar ran a (1:53.78) in the 800-meter run. That broke a Sioux Falls Christian record and lifted Davelaar to the 10th fastest 800-meter run by a South Dakota prep athlete. 

One athlete to keep an eye on this season is Ethan/Parkston freshman James Deckert. This young man has the No. 3 Class A long jump (21-08) and No. 3 triple jump (42-04).

Big mover of the week: Sanborn Central/Woonsocket sophomore Jeff Boschee went from unranked to tied for the best Class A high jump with a leap of (6-02)

Whoever is coaching pole vault at Webster Area seems to know what they are doing. 

The Bearcats have three vaulters in this week’s top-ten

No. 2 - Drew Reetz, Webster Area, 13-06

No. 6 - Tayne Dunse, Webster Area, 12-03

No. 8 - Jaiden McCreary, Webster Area, 12-00
