One Last Time for Ohland and Weber

5-15 1A State Qualifying Meet @ Brooklyn

 

You don’t have to be the top performer in your district to qualify for State; you don’t even have to finish second. The top three finishers in the 110-high hurdles in the Brooklyn district each qualified for State last Thursday, and Sigourney’s Kevin Weber was one of them. Weber, a senior, however, wasn’t content with finishing second or third at Districts, so he decided to just win it.

Weber ran a personal-best time of 15.62 seconds to finish ahead of Lynnville-Sully’s Caden Doll (15.75) and Darin Hofer (15.83) in the 110-meter high hurdles, qualifying him for State automatically as the six seed in 1A. Weber is scheduled to run in the first heat of prelims on Friday, May 23, at 11:20; L-S’s Hofer will also be in the first heat.

Becca Ohland, another senior, didn’t immediately know her State fate until the following morning. By running at time of 16.72 seconds in the 100-meter hurdles at Districts at BGM, Ohland finished second behind North Mahaska’s Lorraine Brown (16.44), but still locked down the number-14 (out of 24) seed at this week’s State Meet in Des Moines.
