Following her Class AA state cross-country championships last fall, Sioux Falls Lincoln’s Ali Bainbridge is doing just as well on the track. Bainbridge has Class AA’s fastest 3,200 meter run (10:49.87) and ran a great 1,600 meter run this week (5:02.44) where she has Class AA’s fastest time. Bainbridge is ranked second in the Class A 800 meter run (2:17.50) and should stay busy at this weekend’s Howard Wood Dakota Relays. 

O’Gorman’s Libby Castelli is the only South Dakota prep runner to run a sub 5-minute mile this year. She leads the state with a (4:55.25) and is ranked third in the 800 meter run (2:18.11).

Brandon Valley’s Mia Wentzy is having a terrific year for the Lynx. She has Class AA’s second fastest 400-meter dash (:58.47) and fastest 800-meter run (2:16.44). Brandon Valley has Class AA’s fastest times in the 1,600-meter relay (3:57.91), 3,200 meter relay (9:27.14) and medley relay (4:09.40). 

Sioux Falls Lincoln’s Dymond Nave has led the Class AA 100-meter hurdles all season but this week she dropped a (:46.85) in the 300-meter hurdles and has the Class AA lead in that event as well. 

The throws look wide open in Class AA this year. Jefferson’s Sarah Zino has the AA discus lead (127-1) with Pierre’s Reese Terwilliger having the shot put lead (43-10.25). Sturgis athlete Brynn Nelson has the Class AA lead in the javelin (136-0).
