The fifth-fastest boys' 800 meter runner in Minnesota history, Andy Richardson, Minnesota's fourth-fastest 1600 meter runner ever, Ben Blankenship, and the all-time fastest state prep over 3200 meters, Elliott Heath, top the final high school boys distance event preformance lists that Chris Marshall compiles for DtB.Only two modifications to the "Chris Lists" occurred since its last iteration: Buffalo sophomore Zach Mellon improved his mark, if not his rank, in the 800m with a 1:51.87 clocking in the prelims of the USA Junior Championships in Indianapolis last week. The Class AA 800m champ ranks #2 this season to Richardson and his 1:51.60, and is the #8 half-miler in Minnesota all-time.
Blankenship, with his converted 3:51.11 1500 from USA Juniors, moved back to the top of the 1600m list. He topped the list after the MSHSL State Meet where he ran 4:09.10. Burnsville's Rob Finnerty, however, leap-frogged him with a 4:08.84 clocking at Nike Outdoor Nationals a week later, but Blankenship's junior nationals mark, which converts to 4:08.14 for 1600m, puts him back on top. He ranks #4 all-time in the event; Finnerty ranks #5.
