Central's Quinn Roehl, Red River's Lauren Dosch lead local finishers at EDC track and field meet

May 19—FARGO — Grand Forks Central's Quinn Roehl was the Eastern Dakota Conference co-senior athlete of the year and won two individual championships on Friday at the conference meet.

Still, his coach thinks he might have been most excited about helping three teammates qualify for next weekend's state meet.

Roehl won the 800 and mile run as the only Grand Forks athlete to win multiple individual events at the Eastern Dakota Conference meet.

"He had a great meet and competed hard," Central boys track and field coach Sean Allan said. "He helped that 4x400 relay team qualify for state and got extra teammates to qualify for the state meet. That's probably what he was most happy about."

Central's 4x400 relay team finished sixth with a personal-best by 8 seconds. Roehl was joined on the relay by Navy Oss, Curtis Sande and Danny Suedel.

The big local performance on the girls side was Grand Forks Red River's Lauren Dosch, who won the 800 and ran a leg on two first-place relay teams (4x400 and 4x800).

"They lowered our school record in the 4x400," Red River girls track and field coach Adam Eckert said. "(Dosch) also ran amazing in the 4x800 for her split."

On the boys side, Grand Forks had four individual champions and Red River's 4x800 relay team of Josh Neil, Grant Hoffarth, Joe Quinn and Micah Larsen-Schmidt finished first.

"We knew we had a solid (4x800) team but didn't expect to win but ended up winning pretty comfortably, so that was really fun," said Red River boys track and field coach Jeff Bakke, who was named EDC Coach of the Year.

In addition to Roehl's double victory, local champions were Red River's Caleb Severson in the 100 with a time of 10.78 seconds to break his own school record he set earlier this season. Red River's Logan Arason, who was named co-senior athlete of the year after the meet along with Roehl, won the javelin with a throw of 186 feet. Teammate Quinn Nelson was second at 179 feet.

Red River finished second and third in the 110 hurdles with Lukas Heydt taking second and Carter Byron taking third. Heydt also took second in the high jump, while Byron took second in the long jump.

"A week ago, (Heydt) was a last-minute fill-in for the high jump at our true team event and went 6-feet at that meet and went 6-feet today and that was huge because that's unexpected," Bakke said.

Ethan Manock of Wahpeton won the discus but Red River's Nelson was second, Central's Ethan Thomas was third and Arason was fourth.

Fargo Davies won both the boys and girls team titles. On the boys side, Davies finished with 162 points followed by Red River with 152.5 points. Central was sixth with 33 points.

On the girls side, Davies had 219.5 points while Red River had 99 points to take third. The Central girls finished 12th with six points.

"We really had a back-and-forth battle with Davies and it came down to the last event with a 2.5-point lead going into final event, which was pretty cool," Bakke said. "With any track meet, there's always some people with disappointments and some great days. We definitely had that. We had some unexpected things and some people stepped up. Everyone competed really hard. That was huge."

On the girls side, the Red River distance relay teams dominated. Dosch, Morgan Hartze, Emily Nelson and Jocelyn Schiller teamed up to win the 4x400 in 4:00.35, while Hartze, Schiller, Dosch and Ava Parks won the 4x800 in 9:50.45.

Two other girls won individuals titles. Red River's Ella Weippert won the javelin with a throw of 137 feet, 7 inches, while teammate Sophie Brakke, a sophomore, won the long jump with a leap of 17-5.5.

"At end of season, (Brakke) had quite a few (personal records) and put her into one of the top spots in the EDC and jumped really well again today," Eckert said. "It was a nice finish to the regular season going to state."
