Yes/No: How Many Records at the State Meet?

This will be a very eventful weekend in the track world. Assuming you aren't going to Eugene to watch the NCAA Championships or New York to watch the Adidas Grand Prix, you should make plans to visit Klas Field at Hamline University on Friday and Saturday for the MSHSL State Meet ... or follow it live via DtB!

Hamline is hosting the MSHSL Track and Field Meet for the fifth consecutive year and it promises the amazing performances and great competition befitting a State Meet. We know some athletes and relay teams will break State Meet records. But how many?

Let us know what you think with your answer to this question:

Y/N: Will six or more All Time State Meet records be broken at the MSHSL meet on Friday and Saturday?

The All Time State Meet records are defined as the best mark at a State Meet in either Class AA and Class A. On the heat sheets, it is the record written as "MN All Time." We are not asking about the separate Class AA and Class A records. Nor are we asking about the Minnesota All Time Best marks that can occur anytime during the season.

Some notable athletes with the potential to break records include All Time Minnesota High School record-holders Jessica January in the 100 hurdles, Macauley Spandl in the pole vault and the Hopkins girls in the 4x200 meter relay. Perhaps the most decorated athlete in the meet is Analisa Huschle from Bagley/Fosston. She is ranked first in the 200-meter, long jump and triple jump and second, with her teammates, in the 4 x 200m relay. Huschle is the defending 200, long jump and triple jump champ and set an All Time Minnesota best in the long jump in 2009.

Heat sheets for the meet are here ... AA Girls * AA Boys *A Girls * A Boys

To play our game, simply type "yes" or "no" into the subject line of an e-mail and send it to us at DtBFantasy [AT] gmail [DOT] com before 9:00 A.M. CST, Friday, June 11th. Please put your answer in the subject line of the e-mail and make sure your full name appears somewhere in the e-mail. We will continue to offer a bonus for participants making their debut in Yes/No - a correct answer will be worth two points for any first-time players.

My answer: Yes

The fantasy contest question from last week was: Y/N: Will Thom Weddle break 45:00 in the USA Masters 10k Championship? Weddle ran well and won his age group by two minutes, but the answer was no. Weddle ran 45:39 in Ann Arbor last weekend. Jesse Schoen and Gregg Robertson are now tied for first place in the 2010 Yes/No standings with thirteen points.

For all the results, please visit DtBFantasy Corner.

Good luck and thanks for playing Yes/No on DtB!

The answer is no this week. There were five All Time State Meet records this weekend.
