Elizabeth Hemsworth also broke her record in that event, set just yesterday. Her new personal record in the 400, which is also the new school record at Sauk Centre, is 57.82 seconds.
Senior Isaac Winters had a great finish to his outstanding career as a three-sport Sauk Centre Mainstreeters athlete. In the finals today for the 800 run, Winters finished eighth with a time of 2:01. It was only two seconds off his personal record, and school record, set yesterday in the state preliminaries.
Fun fact: Winters will continue his athletic career at St. John's University. Read more about that in next week's Sauk Centre Herald issue.
The Mainstreeters girls' 4x800 relay team also earned All-State honors, finishing seventh in today's finals that kicked off the championship day of the state track and field meet. They left it all on the track, shaving a full 16 seconds off of their seed time in the process.

An elusive goal is met by Mainstreeters junior speedster Elizabeth Hemsworth
At right, Elizabeth Hemsworth speeds towards the finish line of the 400 open during the Sub-Section 6A-1 meet on May 26 at Minnewaska Area. Hemsworth won the race while also establishing a new school record in that event (58.5s). Photo submitted.
What makes it special is that she broke her own record, set just a week before the sub-section meet. At the West Central North Conference meet in Milaca on May 17, Hemsworth broke 2010 graduate Savana Weller's 400 open record by running a time of 58.69 seconds. Hemsworth has been chasing the record since her freshmen season on the Mainstreeters track and field team.
