Coleman's Kolton Peters sets a meet record to win the D3 110 hurdles
LA CROSSE — Kolton Peters timed the biggest race of his year perfectly.
Kolton Peters of Coleman won the Division 3 boys' 110-meter hurdles in 14.25 at the WIAA State Championships — a meet record — holding off Marathon's Garrett Bracewell (14.30) in a finish decided by five hundredths of a second.
The 14.25 was a breakthrough. Peters had run in the mid-14.5s through the regular season; at state he found another three-tenths and turned it into a record. Hurdle finals are won on rhythm over ten barriers, and Peters never lost his in the closest race on the track.
He is a multi-event threat, too. Peters has run 37.98 in the 300 hurdles — one of the better intermediate-hurdle marks in Division 3 — and adds points in the long jump (21 feet) and the open 200. That range, paired with a record in the 110s, makes Coleman's Peters one of the most complete hurdlers in the field, and the Division 3 110-hurdle champion.
