🚨School Record + Drake Relays Blue Standard🚨

Owen Kettler from Pella with over a foot PR 23-02.5!! This kid came twice a week from September to the start of the season in February. He worked so hard and paid attention to the details. So incredibly proud.

Iowa’s own Randy Wilson. State champ in High Hurdles, Mile, XC. Was a top American half miler in the 70’s and 80’s. Beat Olympic medalists Boit & Wolhuter to win Drake in ‘77 then Boit again in ‘78 in 1:45.86. A record that still stands. Made ‘80 Olympic team. Sub 4 miler.

Currently we believe the count is 17 of 19 events with state qualifiers for the boys. 19 auto qualifiers + 7 more by time/distance. 26 state entries would be a team record. In 2022 we qualified 19 of 19 events with 25 total entries. @PellaActivities #iahstrk
