STEPPIN’ UP ON REGIONAL DAY

With such strong top-3’s spanning across both genders, there wasn’t much opportunity for team upsets or surprise bids to MIS. There were however, a few individuals deserving of mention:

Lena Wendt, Hastings – who has undergone a massive transformation over the course of the season. Her freshman fall began with three straight 22:00+ efforts. By October, her times had shifted to the 20’s. And by championship season, she’d moved to the 19’s with a 3^rd place finish in the I-8 and a 12^th place, 19:18 here.

Aaron Martinson, Portland – has shown a tendency to bring his best offerings to the regional stage. Last year, it was a sub-18, the first of his career. On Saturday, it was his first foray into the mid-16’s after a month of 16:5x performances. What a change from 2025 to now as well, you can’t help but think that regional race from last fall added to the fire under Martinson, bringing him to this point.
