This list is an ongoing compilation of the fastest known times run within the state of North Dakota. Any and all race results have been counted so far. Please let me know if there is a race or time that you are aware of that should be on this list. Following each name is the school they were attending when they ran the time. If they weren't at a school, then I went with their listed location. Finally, "UNA" for an athlete's school means "unattached", which means that they were not affiliated with any school formally. I then put which college they were still a part of at that time.

Why is a high school kid listed among collegiate athletes for the top ten times ever recorded in North Dakota history for the top times in the 5,000 meters? His alleged time is not even an accurate time missing the 1/10's for his finishing time, as well as competing in the evening (Twilight meet)of which college meets are never run during this time of day. Many of us feel deeply that favoritism played a MAJOR role on this High Schooler being listed because he is a North Dakota product after returning from University of Oregon. Why the preferential treatment? He was a H.S. student not a Collegiate!!! **(Former World Class Athlete** JJK
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure I understand your complaint. He ran the time on a track in North Dakota while he was in high school- it has nothing to do with his time in college. There are many people in attendance who can confirm his time, but I haven't received exact tenths and hundredths. The best thing about track is the lack of favoritism- the top times inside the state's boundaries are included- period. If you have ten faster times for me to add to bump him off, feel free to send them to me.
