Kate Laqua sweeps hurdles again
Fargo Davies’ Kate Laqua will head to North Dakota State next season as a seven-time North Dakota high school track and field state champion after sweeping Saturday’s Class A girls hurdles finals for the second year in a row.
Laqua first won the 300-meter race with a season-best 43.62 seconds, finishing right in front of Grand Forks Red River senior Sophie Brakke whose personal-best 45.06 was good for second place.
In the 100 final, Laqua’s 14.38 was enough to beat out Jamestown senior Julia Skari who clocked a runner-up time of 14.76.

Trey Knoke repeats in 110 hurdles
Fargo North also produced a hurdles champion for the second year in a row after senior Trey Knoke claimed the Class A boys 110-meter final again.
Knoke, also a future Bison, clocked a winning time of 14.43 seconds to narrowly defeat Bismarck Legacy junior Bennet Lonn, who won the 300 final earlier in the day. Lonn finished runner-up with a 14.46.
Wren James redeems herself with triple jump title
Fargo South’s Axumite Wren James was left wondering what she could have done differently on Thursday after Bismarck’s Jordyn Rood denied her a repeat win in the Class A girls high jump.
So the NDSU-bound senior decided to pull an upset in Saturday’s triple jump competition instead.
Despite having the No. 9 seed mark of 35 feet, 6.25 inches entering the weekend, James pulled a season-best 37-0.5 out of her fifth attempt to become a two-time individual event champion.
