If this week’s Class B track and field leaders look familiar, it’s because they are. There are no changes from last week, because there were no organized meets for Class B schools in the past 10 days due to the weather.

Between the weather and scheduled graduations, there were no new results.

Lake Region Conference athletes have had a stellar spring, recording top times and distances in leading 11 events heading into the final regular-season weekend before next week’s state meet.

Ipswich’s Kyle Hettich leads the boys’ 100-meter and 200-meter dash, teammate Rasmus Loken has the top pole vault, Faulkton’s Spencer Melius tops the 110-meter high hurdles and javelin, Northwestern’s Ella Boekelheide sets the pace in the 1,600-meter and 3,200-meter runs, Dustin Wurtz of Leola tops the field in the shot put, Dylan Hofer of Aberdeen Christian is first in the triple jump, Jalyssa Hutson of Ipswich has the top mark in the pole vault, and the Ipswich girls have the fastest time in the 1,600-meter relay.
