The Miles Lists: Discus Throw

Today, we'll close the book on the field events in our annual posting of the Miles' Lists -- the comprehensive 2009 and all-time Minnesota boys high school track and field performance lists complied by Tim and Bill Miles.

Casey Dehn of Owatonna, the MSHSL Class AA champ, leads the 2009 list by more ten feet with his PR 187-6. The mark puts Dehn in the Minnesota all-time prep top-10 for the event.

Two athletes to watch in 2010: Luke Johnson of Red Wing and Jesse Reemstma of Spring Lake Park/St. Anthony. As 10th-graders in 2009, both ranked high on the all-time sophomore list -- Johnson #2 with a 173-2 and Reemstma #4 with a 170-1.
