Prior to the 2023 Howard Wood Dakota Relays a Deubrook Area boys team had not captured a relay title since the 1990s. The Dolphins were able to win the 3,200-meter relay and came from behind to nip Wolsey-Wessington for the 1,600-meter relay title.

The Dolphins have Class B’s leading times in the 1,600-meter relay (3:30.51) and the 3,200-meter relay (8:24.85). 

Dell Rapids St. Mary sprinter Lucas Flemmer still has Class B’s top time in the 200-meters (:22.00) and has the top time in the 400-meter dash (:49.76). 

The Howard Wood Dakota Relays 3,200 meter race always seems to pull athletes to their personal best times and 2023 was no exception. Canistota’s Josiah Schroeder set a personal best (9:55.58). Potter County athlete Nicholas Schlachter was also pulled to a personal best (10:19.64) that is now the No. 2 time in Class B. 

The leaderboard on the boys shot put looks significantly different this week. Herreid/Selby Area’s Brenden Begeman now has the top mark (50-2.5). De Smet’s Damon Wilkinson is second ranked with a toss of 49-3. Lincoln Koehn of Kadoka Area is third at 48-10. 

Warner’s Hunter Cramer is suddenly in the conversation for best Class B hurdles. Cramer lowered his 110-meter hurdles personal best (:15.12) and now leads the 300-meter hurdles (:41.33).
