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-

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.

lear skies and good turnout greeted
the Oregon Dunes Triathlon and
Duathlon for its annual race, which is
hosted by Dunes City and Best in the West,
with sponsorship by Three Rivers Casino.
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
