The last time a 4×200 meter relay Flandreau School record was broken/set, Jimmy Carter was president, the original Star Wars was released and Elvis was still alive – 1977. The record was set by Marcie Lokken, Nancy Ramsdell, Jody Entringer and Teresa Erickson, four of the speedsters on the Flier track team during this era. Their time was 1:47.5. Thursday, these ladies above, in the first time theyve ran this race as a foursome, broke that 48-year old record putting the new mark at 1:47.14; not much time difference but, a new record none-the-less. Teammates are Kiley Westberry, Ella Hoffman, Rhegan Sheppard and Morgan Sheppard.
These girls in the second photo, broke the schools 4×400 meter relay record which was set last year in the final race at the State Class A track meet. Members are Faith Wiese, Kiley Westberry, Rona Streitz and Morgan Sheppard. Their new time is 4:04.48 clipping the old record of 4:05.76.
And the one who keeps lowering her own record, Wiese, dropped her mile time below the 5 minute mark with a new school record of 4:56.40.
Theyll all run at the State meet this weekend along with other teammates.
