Crookston Pirate Senior Breanna Kressin competed this afternoon at the Minnesota State High School League Class A State Track meet at St. Michael-Albertville High School. Kressin qualified for the finals in all three of her events yesterday, the 100 hurdles, 300 hurdles, and 200 meters. Today, Kressin was 0.01 seconds off of another school record and finished in the top 6 in all three of her events, including a 2nd place finish in the 300 hurdles.
100 HURDLES –
Kressin came out of the gates well and had an early lead in the race, but was eventually edged out by a couple of girls, including Shaina Zinter of Concordia Academy who set the Class A record in the preliminaries yesterday. Kressin finished with a time of 15.44 which was good for a 4th place finish in the state of Minnesota for Class A. The time was slightly above Kressin’s 15.19 that she ran in the preliminary yesterday. Zinter won the event with a time of 14.53
300 HURDLES –
After a nice break to allow Kressin to get her legs back, she came out fast once again in the 300 hurdles. This time she kept her momentum for the length of the race, with a 2nd place finish and a time of 45.27. The time was a personal best for Kressin and was 0.01 seconds short of the school record set by Emma Borowicz. Shaina Zinter also won this event with a time of 42.43.
200 METERS –
In her last race of the day, Kressin had the 7th best time in the prelims. She bumped up one spot for a 6th place finish with a time of 26.36. The time was .05 higher than her preliminary run of 26.31, as Kressin had just finished the 300 hurdles moments before. Shaina Zinter, like the other two events Kressin ran in, took 1st place with a time of 24.98.
