Sitka’s Mullin led a sweep of Wolves in the DII portion of the 3,200, with senior teammates Marina Dill and Aliyah Merculief in a field of seven.

“Key is just focusing on staying steady really,” Mullin said. “You don’t want to blow out all your energy in the first 800. I was actually pacing Marina through this race and that was actually really fun. I like doing that. It is nice to be able to encourage someone to get a PR and she PR’d by 10 seconds. It changes it up a little bit, and makes racing fun and exciting. You get to celebrate with your teammates, too.”

Mullin earned the DII Girls Overall Outstanding Competitor Award as she also won DII events of 800 meters (2:18.46), 1,600 meters (5:09.75) and the 4×800 relay (10:32.72) with senior teammates Dill and Merculief and junior Jadelynn Kubik.

JDHS freshman Bella Connally set the stage for a career of possible state titles as she won the girls’ 100- and 200-meter races in 12.70 and 26.32, respectively, defeating KTN senior Clara Odden in the country wise email marketing list 200 for key team points.

“It’s amazing,” Connally said after the 100. “It’s crazy. Just, oh my gosh, I don’t know what to say. I always think they are just right there behind me and I need to run faster. Key for me was remembering to focus, stay low and just drive through the whole race.”

After the 200 she said, “This one is definitely harder. I feel so dead at the end. It pushes me even more when my teammates are racing right with me. Just them right there. Pushing me to go faster. So much fun.”

JDHS freshman Addie Hartman and Shandies Frommherz finished second and third in the 100, earning points for the Crimson Bears, and Frommherz and freshman Mya Hayes went third and fourth in the 200.
