Three runners move into top 10 list at Indoor 5K
   Three runners finished in under 17 minutes at the Prairie Striders Indoor 5K Saturday, Jan. 24, with Marc Corpus leading the way in the event at the Sanford-Jackrabbit Athletic Center.
   Corpus, who lead for all 16 2/3 laps around the 300-meter track, posted a time of 16:05.3. That is the third fastest time in the 11-year history of the race and only three-tenths of a second off of first place. Corpus, 20, lists an address of Weslaco, Texas, but works locally.
   Runner-up Ethan Miller, 33, earned the award for traveling the farthest. Miller, a physician from Omaha, Nebraska, ran the 3.1 miles in 16:28 to place fourth on the all-time list. Dylan Haar, a 15-year-old Brookings High School athlete was third with a time of 16:54, which is the 10th fastest all time.
   Winning the master’s division was 42-year-old Josh Scholten, of Marshall, Minnesota. His time of 17:50 missed the master’s mark of 16:30 that SDSU track alum Marty Wennblom set in 2020. However, Scholten’s time was good for fourth overall Saturday and 18th on the all-time list.
   First place in the women’s division went to another Brookings High School athlete. Kaylie Kuehl, 16, of Brookings, finished in 20:29. That is the ninth fastest female time in race history. She finished 38 seconds ahead of Arlington High School standout Kaelyn Ulschmid, 17, who clocked a time of 21:07.
   The women’s master’s division was won by Jenn McElroy, 44, of Watertown, who finished in 23:44. McEloy, who is the cross country coach at Watertown High School, set the female master’s record in 2024 with a time if 22:56.
   The event drew 34 competitors in addition to three non-timed walkers. Full results can be found at www.prairiestriders.net.
