Prep Season Gets Rolling this Weekend

With all the marathon hoopla and college track and field action this weekend, it's easy to forget that Minnesota's high school season is starting to heat up ... even if the outside temperatures aren't.

On tap this weekend are three major early-season events.

Tonight at the University of Minnesota, Eden Prairie, Edina, and Wayzata -- the top three boys' teams in Class AA last year -- will tussle at the Lake Relays.

Individual stars like sprinter Devan Crawford-Tufts of Edina, jumpers Michael Sandle and Rumeal Harris of Eden Prairie, and the state's fastest returning miler Christian Skaret of Minnetonka will test themselves against the elements.

Also on the docket tonight is the mammoth Lakeville North Mega-Meet. Heat sheets for it can be found HERE. On deck Saturday is the storied Pony Relays in Stillwater, which will be contested for the 43rd straight year.
