Track and field fans may have seen the times Hot Springs senior Braden Peterson has been putting up this season. 

At the Howard Wood Dakota Relays they got a first-hand look at an athlete poised to do big things at the Class A state meet in a few weeks. 

Peterson has Class A’s top times in the 100-meter dash (:10.90), 200-meter dash (:22.10) and the state’s fastest time in the 400-meter dash (48.89).

At Howard Wood, Pederson ran the 400-meter leg on the Bison’s winning sprint medley relay team (3:35.90).
