SN Sports & Recreation THESIUSLAWNEWS.COM SATURDAY EDITION | JUNE 12, 2019 | $1.00 Siuslaw’s Rannow enters school’s history books The junior capped the year with the second-fastest 1500-meter time in SHS history By Ned Hickson Siuslaw News Just three days after being named the 2019 Female Athlete of the Year for the second-con- secutive time during KCST’s annual Athletic Night of Excel- lence last Thursday night, Siu- slaw junior Hannah Rannow was in Portland for the elite Portland Track Festival High Performance Meet at Lewis and Clark College. Rannow ran the 1500-me- ter race in a time of 4 minutes, 44.36 seconds. The time was the 12th-fastest of the day in a field of 16 elite female runners — and the second-fastest girls’ time in Siuslaw High School history. Her time was less than three seconds off the school record set by Siuslaw alum- ni Raelyn Robinson in 2010 during the Jesuit Twilight Re- lays (4:42.62). Robinson, who will be in- COURTESY PHOTO ducted into the Siuslaw Hall of Fame in August, won the 4A girls state title in the event that same season (4:47.46). Rannow’s previous personal best in the event was 4:50.75, set this past May during the Wally Ciochetti Invitational in Cottage Grove. Simone Plourde of Saint-Lau- rent Select in Montreal won Sunday’s individual title with a time of 4:29.11.

The race, which attracts racers of all ages, was separated into two events — the triathlon, which includes swimming, cycling and run- ning, and the duathlon, which has cycling and two running courses. The triathlon began in Woahink Lake, where sprint participants swam .5 miles and Olympic participants swam .93 miles. Next on the course was the bike race, which snaked through the scenic country streets of Dunes City. The course covered 24.8 miles for the Olympic contenders and 12.4 miles for the sprinters. Finally, the athletes ran on foot through Jessie M. Honeyman State Park, with Olympic runners traversing 6.2 miles and sprinters running 3.1 miles — ending in a grueling climb up a tall dune, where participants were greeted by a cheering crowd and the finish time. 16-year-old Kellar Norland towered over his competition in the Sprint Triathlon, the main triathlon event, taking first place with a time of 1:00:01. Second place went to 31-year- old Christopher Funch at 1:03:26. Norland’s domination was evident through- out all three events, starting with the swim competition, where he completed with a time of 9:46 time, compared to Funch’s 12:09. Norland was the only swimmer in the top 10 to finish in under 10 minutes. From there, the teen didn’t slow down for the bike race, com- ing in at 29:37 — and again first among the top 10. In fact, Norland was the only cyclist to break to 30-minute barrier, with the sec- ond-best time going to Funch at 30:16. Norland slowed down slightly for the run — but only slightly — crossing the finish in 19:34 for the second-best time in the leg; Charles Schauer’s 18:53 topped all times, earning him fourth place in the triathlon overall. Andrea Cernuda was the fastest female of the event, finishing the course 1:13:59, good for ninth place overall. Her best score was the swim portion, where she finished in 10:55, second place behind Norland. In the Olympic Triathlon, Aaron Seipel took top male position, finishing the three legs of the race in 2:23:18. Second place went to John Nelson at 2:26:41. Seipel started out slower in the swim com- petition, clocking in at 26:43, well below Nelson’s 25:48, but gained momentum in the bike race, coming in at 1:11:51 compared to Nelson’s 1:13:42. In fact, no other top 10 See Th ose words have been spoken by many people in response to negative conse- quences from their decisions.
