Talk about it

Nathan Dykema charged out of the blocks and held off a late push by Linton’s Roemmich brothers to win the Class B boys’ 110 meter hurdles title.

The Lisbon senior got off to a great start, which enabled him to hold on late for a state title on Saturday at the Bismarck Community Bowl. Dykema clocked in at 15.48 seconds, edging Scott (15.69) and Trent Roemmich (15.82) of Linton, who came in second and third, respectively.

The Roemmichs also finished second and third, in the same order, in the 300 hurdles. Scott ran 40.36 and Trent 40.78. They also both ran on the Lions’ state-champion 1600 relay team (3:29.98), along with Brandon and Brady Weber.

Lisbon’s Elliott Olerud, Adam Coykendall, Zach Peterson and Brandon Schell teamed up to win a title in the 400 relay (44.3) and a third place in the 800 relay (1:32.47).

Jayce Seelig turned in fourth-place finishes in the 800 (2:01.88) and the 3200 (9:44.46) for Lisbon.

Linton’s Colin Hulm finished eighth in the 100 (11.62), fifth in the 200 (23.23), fourth in the 300 hurdles (41.13) and fourth in the 800 relay (1:32.64).

Kyle Heim of Sheridan County-Anamoose finished second in the 800 (2:00.8), Ross Martell of South Border placed second in the discus (145-5) and Kordel Wolfe of Harvey was fourth (142-7) in the discus.

Rikki Schmidt of Napoleon and Hillary Birchem of Lisbon claimed state titles on Saturday.

Schmidt, a sophomore, edged Parshall seventh-grader Alexis Woods (59.38-59.71) to win the 400. She added a third-place time of 26.7 in the 200.

Birchem recorded a throw of 123-11 to win the discus, throwing 11 inches further than Kaylee Stein of Richardton-Taylor.

Finley-Sharon-Hope-Page’s Shelby Krueger finished second in the 100 (13.0) and 200 (26.58). Brittany Nitschke of Edgeley-Kulm finished second in the 800 (2:22.09) and Lisbon’s Kali Olson was second in the high jump (5-2).
