Three area runners qualify for 1A State Cross Country

Albertsen, Knop and Keller to compete Oct. 30 in Fort Dodge

 PANORA (Oct. 21) -- Caden Keller and Emily Albertsen of IKM-Manning, along with AHSTW’s Rylie Knop, have qualified for the 2021 State Cross Country Meet.
 All three area runners advanced by placing in the top 10 of last Thursday’s Class 1A State Qualifying Meet at Panorama West Golf Course.
 They will now compete in Saturday’s (Oct. 30) 1A State Meet at Lakeside Municipal Golf Course north of Fort Dodge. The girls race will start at 2:30 p.m., followed by the boys race at 3:15.
 Albertsen, a freshman, placed seventh out of 83 girls in the Panora state qualifier, clocking a five-kilometer time of 21:37. Knop, a sophomore, secured the 10th and final individual state berth in 21:44. Keller, a junior, finished seventh out of 92 boys with a time of 17:40.
 All three will be making their state meet debut.
 “Both Emily and Caden ran great races today,” said IKM-M coach Robert Cast. “They both got out the way they needed to and both had contact with the front lead pack from the start. They both did a great job attacking the middle of the race and then finished strong on their final push. I was very proud of their accomplishments. Their hard work paid off with a trip to the state meet."
 AHSTW coach Jackson Renberg stated that he was extremely impressed with Knop’s calmness and composure throughout the race.
 “In meets like this, some run out too quick and tail off at the end. However, Rylie ran her pace for the first two miles and then picked off runners gradually the last mile,” Renberg said.
