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.

The Chester Area boys appear to be one of the best teams in Class B this season and the Flyers didn’t hurt their cause winning the 400-meter relay, the 800-meter relay and the 1,600 meter relay titles at Howard Wood.

One of the new leaders this week comes from the Tri-State track team. Kaleb Foltz has the top 800-meter run time of 2:03.04. Tri-State won the Howard Wood sprint medley relay and had the fastest Class B time in that event (3:47.03).

Canistota’s Josiah Schroeder is having a breakout season in the distance events. Schroeder has the top time in the 1,600 meter run (4:37.84) and the fastest 3,200 meter run in the B ranks (10:06.13). 

Feels like the Class B boys have an inordinate amount of good discus throwers this season. Lemmon/McIntosh’s Tell Mollman leads Class B (167-8). Lucas Mentele of Bridgewater/Emery threw 162-8 and Ipswich’s Zack Geditz threw 151-6.5. 

The Class B high jump has another talented trip of jumpers at the top of the B rankings. 

Daniel Mitchell (Gregory) and Dawson Reckling (Kadoka Area) have both cleared 6-6 with Freeman Academy/Marion’s Thalen Schroeder has cleared 6-4. 

Keep one eye on the Frederick boys relay teams. 

Frederick has the No. 9 time in the 800-meter relay (1:35.60, the No. 3 time in the 1,600 meter relay (3:39.80) and No. 2 time in the 3,200 meter relay (8:39.70).
