What a race!
Six runners entered the boys' 1,600 meter run at Monday's WIAA Division 3 regional at Cedar Grove with seed times faster than 4:41 (that's an unbelievably loaded field for a regional).
Sheboygan Lutheran's Peter Bolgert came in as the second-fastest seed, but he broke top-seeded Matthew DeVillers on the second lap and pulled away to win in 4:27.52 (a track record and area season best).
Four runners broke 4:40, including Elkhart Lake's freshman flash, Myles Galloway.
Galloway is a fantastic athlete with a hockey background who seems to have a great amount of heart and tenacity.
He charged down the final straightaway to finish third in 4:36.08, more than four seconds better than his previous best. He advanced to Thursday's sectional, and if he runs a similar time, he's got a great shot at getting to State.
