All the times, numbers and information from Thursday’s track and field state qualifying meets were tabulated and finalized on Friday, and both Fort Dodge and St. Edmond added to its qualifier list for Des Moines this coming week.

The Dodgers will have seven total events at state, while the Gaels have five ready for action beginning on Thursday from Drake Stadium.

FDSH senior Noah Daniel advanced in both the 100-meter dash and the 200-meter dash, as did Jamarius Echols in the 400-meter dash. The Dodger boys also qualified in the 4×100, 4×200 and 4×800 relays.

Daniel and Echols were automatic qualifiers from a meet in Waukee.

On the girls side, the Fort Dodge shuttle hurdle relay earned an at-large bid in Class 4A.

Anna Lursen was the lone 1A automatic qualifier for St. Edmond from Colfax, winning the 400-meter dash. She will be joined by Rihanna Myers in the discus and the sprint medley relay.

The St. Edmond boys scored at-large bids for Aaron Hindt in the 200-meter dash and Anthony Valles in the 3,200-meter run.

The Algona boys and girls earned 21 total 3A qualifiers, including 11 for the boys. Southeast Valley pushed 14 through in 2A — led by 11 for the boys.

Webster City had 11 total qualifiers in 3A, Humboldt had 10 in 3A and Manson Northwest Webster five in 2A.

Rachel Schany, a defending state 2A champion in the high jump, again qualified in four individual events for Emmetsburg. Southeast Valley’s Colin Johnson scored two individual bids and anchored two relays to qualifying spots.

The 4A and 1A portion of the three-day state track and field meet kicks things off Thursday and Friday morning at 9 a.m. The 3A and 2A events begin the same days at 2 p.m.

Saturday’s all-class finals start at 9 a.m.
