Jessen wins at Willmar, Montevideo

Luke Jessen, after not running in Willmar due to an injury, collapsed after the race in Montevideo Tuesday. His coach-mother Beth Jessen extended a hand.

Hundreds of runners flocked to Wilmar Saturday — and most of them were from large schools including Hopkins, Moorhead, Fargo North, Hutchinson and Willmar.
When the dust cleared, Canby-Minneota-Lincoln HI’s Leah Jessen stood at the top of the girls bunch after her best time of 15:12.

Tuesday night at Montevideo she did it again, smiled and said her 15:08 was now her best time.

Dawson-Boyd Coach Ashley (Hennen) Dahl looked across the court at the opposing team.

She saw a familiar sight — the yellow and blue Minneota Vikings were staring back at her.

Dahl, a former Viking who helped Minneota to the state championship was pitting her squad, the Dawson-Boyd Blackjacks, against her old team for the first time.

"A lot of memories came rolling back," she said after her squad lost to the No. 1 ranked team in the state, 25-15; 25-16 and 25-11.
