Deanne Neff
Bertsch at 2014 MOC by Michael Lucid

Last years 2023 Champion Alexis Hunt, Maria Carrillo 5-4 graduated

This is a very good field but Allison Tito should be jumping alone at the end. Bigger question may be can she tie or beat the meet record.

Meet Record 3200m Relay

9:52.73 Montgomery 2023 Kittelstrom, Martin, Lacefield, Thomsen

Last year was the first time this event was in the finals.
No team except Montgomery at the Viking Classic has put much effort into this event so far this year but this final could be different.
Montgomery may not even need it’s best foursome to win this one.

Meet Record 1600 meters

4:45.51 Hanne Thomsen, Montgomery 2022

What will Hanne Thomsen do?
She started the season with amazing indoor times in the Mile 4:45.24 and 2 mile 10:17.60.
Had some minor health problems after that and has skipped the rest of the season minus three dual meets.
The last one saw her triple with 5:07.7, 2:25.5, 10:54.0 run.
What she runs at NBL finals may not be decided until the day of the meet but she will probably be favored in whatever she runs.
She won this event the last two years and holds the meet record.
After her are a bunch of state contending level runners.
