Drevlow Runs #17 MN Girls 1600m Time
A standout sophomore for Hopkins, Sydney Drevlow won the 1600m at the Hamline Elite Meet for the second year in a row with a MN #17 all-time time of 4:50.93. Last year she won the race with a time of 4:56.52.
This moves her up the all-time 1600m rankings for Minnesota girls going from #21 to #17. It is also the #3 time all-time by a Minnesota sophomore girl:
| Rank | Athlete | Time | Year |
| 1 | Elizabeth Yetzer | 4:46.14 | 2004 |
| 2 | Tess Misgen | 4:48.54 | 2015 |
| 3 | Sydney Drevlow | 4:50.93 | 2023 |
| 4 | Shannon Bergstedt | 4:51.00 | 2002 |
| 5 | Megan Hasz | 4:53.36 | 2014 |
Overall the girls 1600m this year was an incredible race with Isabelle Schmitz setting a 2-second PR and her first PR since 2021 in the 1600m, Teegan Anderson setting a new PR, and Kendra Krueger running under 5 minutes for the first time.

Brian Schloeder Breaks Meet Pole Vault Record
Just like we predicted in our BOLD PREDICTIONS, Brian Schloeder broke the old meet record of 15' 8" set by Calvin Ciganik in 2018. Schloeder jumped 15' 9" to break the meet record, the facility record, and set a new #1 mark in Minnesota for 2023.
Schloeder started his day at a height of 14' 4" which he cleared on his second attempt, before clearing 14' 10" to win the meet. From there he cleared 15' 5" on two attempts and then cleared 15' 9" on three attempts. He attempted three attempts at 16' 0" but couldn't clear.
Schloeder is now tied for 5th all-time for Minnesota boys in the pole vault and tied the #2 junior boys time in Minnesota.
All-Time MN Boys PV Marks
