Brandon's a great kid. Not sure how much he'll help us on the track but he should be pretty solid in cross.

Aimee Rice-Strand
According to Twincities.com is signing with NDSU



I am a 5'5" sprinter from Osceola, WI and will graduate in the 2014 class. This past high school season, I finished as a State Champion in the 200m Dash and runner-up in the 100m dash and 400m Relay in Division 2.

I will be watching for Emma to consistently be in the 18s since her personal best is 18' 4" and she has only broke 18 twice. She also pole vaults a little.

Amanda Levin from West Fargo will be a Bison Today!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nice! Is she going to be able to run track this spring to defend her 100, 200, 400 titles after her knee injury back at the beginning of the school year?

Gotta like a 5-11 sprinter.

She reminds me a lot of Jill Theeler, but taller. Amanda's strength is the 100-200. I was hoping to see her break 12 seconds in the 100 this year, but then she had the injury. I think that she has the most potential to be a staple on the relays and maybe some individual success in the 200. I am not sure how much help she will be indoors. She is related to former Bison Matt Ness.

[sambini]

I heard she is gonna concentrate on 200-400 at NDSU. Matt Ness is Amandas uncle. GOOD LUCK AMANDA Welcome to BISON Nation

I can see that since she was under-coached in high school. Ryun will get her into the 55's by her sophomore year. It's a shame not to run the 100 since right now, that is her most competitive time.

[Bison"FANatic"]

Its going to be fun to see where Ryun gets her to be her best at. She has quite a bit of potential and training work ethic to take her far. Year round track training without the other sports distractions of high school and she will hopefully flourish. It all depends though the opportunity is there for her to take, now the work begins (continues). I believe she will help the Bison keep our winning traditions in Track and Field.

[Buffalo.Rider]

NDSU, overall, does a very good of developing its athletes and improving their times, distances, heights. Especially those from smaller schools. I agree with y'all, be interesting to see what the new young women under Mr. Ryan and his fellow coaches.

[westnodak93bison]

Is Trevor Barry recruiting the Bahamas? I still don't understand how Dickinson State gets some of those kids? Oh wait. Maybe I know?

An article by Chris Murphy on Amanda Levin's injury last year and subsequent return this spring for West Fargo HS:



Levin says she’s back to full strength. At the Packer Relays on Friday, Levin took third in the 100 with a state-qualifying time of 12.72 seconds, but didn’t run in the 200 and 400 after tweaking her hip.

Landon just ran a 47 second 400 at Howard Wood.

Amazing how good some of these times are for being so earlier in the season (times have changed.)

Great time Landon, 47.78, an all time best for a ND High School athlete. Coached by former Bison football and track standout Tim Jacobson.

Amanda is doing dang well considering the number of months out she is from a blown out knee. She would give anything to be where she was with times, but a injury like that takes time to come back from.

[westnodak93bison]

Two state records for Jochim. 200 in 21.58 - beat it by 0.08 seconds! and 400 in 47.84. Pretty damn good for a mostly crappy weather track season.

Whatever happened to another Bison recruit, Nigel Hageness (sp) from Rugby? Haven't seen his name most of the spring, and didn't see him competing at all in the state meet.

He's injured, I believe.

Coach Larson got a dandy in Landon Jochim. WOW

Yep, Jochim will make an immediate impact for Lars next season! It was nice to have good weather for the State meet for a change, warm but a little breezy. There are some outstanding juniors out there that would be nice additions to Bison Track and Field. Jon Theraldson from Bismarck threw the shot 63'4", and teammate Lyndon Mertz won the Pole Vault at 15'1". For the girls, Asha Smith of Watford City won the 800, 1600 and 3200, and had better times than the Class A girls in the 800 and 1600. Also, Dakota Wood from Hazen won both hurdles and ran a leg on the winning 4x400 relay. For a scarcely populated, cold weather state, North Dakota continues to produce high quality Track and Field athletes!

Tharaldson should be a FB recruit. All state WR and 63'+ shotput champ could be one hell of a FB in the west coast offense IMHO
Good BB player as well.

He'll probably be a top 5 shot putter in the nation next year. Hard to fault him if he goes that route.

NDSU getting Landon Jochim is a great win. (anyone know if he has signed? or has he just stated his intent). The men's team has some really good people on it right now.

It has been a great year for NDSU - national championship in football, men's basketball in the NCAA tourney and a win there, women's softball in the NCAA tourney and a win against Auburn, near win against Minnesota there, men's baseball in the NCAA tourney, a 3rd place finish by a wrestler, a former NDSU golfer doing well in the LPGA. I am in awe to some extent.

I will assume he is signed as NDSu track twitter page sent out some info on his success at the state meet. If he wasnt signed it would be a major recruiting violation

Beehler is going to Iowa Western Community College to play football. I made the same assumption based on the Google search results but it's really Albany hurdler, Mitchell Kollodge going to NDSU.

Jon Tharaldson? With a name like that, there might be some pressure to go to UMary. Edit: Or is his last name Tharaldsen? I've seen it both ways.

He has to be one of the top recruits in North Dakota though. 6-2, 210, plays WR and throws the shot 60' and a good basketball player? Not many athletes around like that.

Beachy savors hurdles three-peat

Jaelin Beachy of Staples-Motley dominated the girls’ 100-meter hurdles, finishing in a personal-best 14.90 seconds. It was her third consecutive title in the event.

“It’s just surprising, looking back, to think I could do that three years in a row,” said a teary-eyed Beachy, who will run track at North Dakota State next year.
