Dowling speeds to 400 record with 55.11
State Meet Highlights Top Performances:

Top Competition: The AA girls triple jump featured the two best performers in state history. And Colette Christensen's 40-foot jump seemed like it might hold up as the overall winner. But Alexis Gannon wasn't going to be denied. And she dug deep on her final attempt to come up with 40-3.75 for a dramatic victory. Record-breaker: Cortney Dowling's 55.11 could be a harbinger of good things to come. It may be unfair to compare her with North Dakotan Laura Roesler, who dominated the scene in that state from 100 to 800. Roesler ran 55.89 as an eighth grader and 2:03 in the 800 as a junior. Dowling hasn't taken up the 800, but her 10th grade 400 compares favorably to Roesler's (55.76) 10th grade 400 best.
