Savannah Reister runs in a heat of the 100-meter hurdles at the State Track Meet in Bismarck. Reister finished in a time of 17.52 seconds.
Two athletes for Medina/Pingree-Buchanan made it to the big stage for the State Track Meet in Bismarck May 23-25.
In the 100-meter and 110-meter hurdles, junior Savannah Reister and senior Mark Thomas competed against the best of the best in their respective races.
Both Reister and Thomas ran in preliminary heats, but did not advance to the finals. Reister's time of 17.52 seconds was 14th best, while Thomas's 16.44 placed him in the 12th spot.
(Correction: In the May 27 edition of the Independent, it was incorrectly stated that Thomas was the only state qualifier for the Thunder when he did so at the South Central Regional meet.
Reister qualified in the 100 hurdles with a time of 16.52, .22 seconds better than the automatic standard, back on April 4 at the Jamestown Early Bird Meet. Results from that event were not published for the week nearest to the competition.
The Independent regrets the error, and congratulates Reister on her accomplishment.)
