The Buffalo High School sprint medley squad and Lakeville North's 4 x 100m relay team clocked all-time Minnesota High School bests at the Nike Outdoor National meet in Greensboro, North Carolina over the weekend.
Buffalo finished runner-up in Friday night's sprint medley competition, clocking 3:25.60. Running for Buffalo were senior Kaleb Stevens, sophomore Timothy Ernster, and seniors Taylor Vick, and Zachary Mellon.
Track Eastern Carolina won the race with 3:24.54.
Mellon split 1:49.49 for the 800m anchor leg, according to reports. (Mellon did not compete in the open 800m at NON, but is declared for this week's USA Junior Championships in Eugene, Oregon. )
Buffalo's time for the 1600 meter event eclipsed the previous Minnesota all-time best mark of 3:27.2, set by Burnsville 1978. Burnsville's mark is converted from a mile sprint medley they ran in 3:28.5.
Buffalo closed succesful 2009 season with a Class AA relay title in the 4 x 400, the Class AA team title, and, now, the all-time mark in the sprint medley, an event no longer contested in MSHSL competition.

Lakeville Scares, Tops 4 x 100m Mark ... Lakeville North's 4 x 100m team gave Eastview's all-time Minnesota 4 x 100 meter relay mark of 41.82 a scare in the NON prelims on Friday, clocking a finals-qualifying 41.91.
In the finals on Saturday, the all-senior team of Trevor Jellum, Jonathan Anyaogu, Nathan Sayler, and Nick Nelson clocked a record-breaking 41.67 to finish 4th in the event and surpass Eastview's mark.
Ben Davis High School of Indianapolis won the event with 41.09.
The new state-topping mark for Lakeville North was sweet redemption -- the Panther 4 x 100m relay was disqualified at the Section 1AA meet.
