Stillwater High School senior Ben Blankenship, the defending Class AA champion at 1600m, took advantage of the nice weather and some good competition by running a swift, high school honor roll-leading 9:15.42 3200m at the Lakeville Mega Meet Tuesday night. Blankenship beat the Edina duo of Tom Burke and TC Lumbar who clocked 9:22.52 and 9:29.08, respectively.
The race is viewable on YouTube here.
Blackenship, who will attend Mississippi State next year, got some early redemption for a frustrating end to his senior cross country season. He suffered a stress fracture late in the campaign and was unable to compete for the 9th place Ponies at the State Meet.
Also: The Star-Tribune recently published its high school track previews for boys and girls.
