Records fall across the board in the wheelchair division at the state meet
LA CROSSE — If you want to find the meet records at this year's state championships, start in the wheelchair division. The athletes there set them all weekend.
Gianni Quintero of Marquette University High School did it twice in one day, sweeping the 800 meters in a meet-record 1:54.75 and the 1,600 in a meet-record 3:52.27 — the 800 a huge drop from the 2:03 he opened the season with.
Megan Egstad of Sun Prairie East was just as busy, winning the 800 (2:32.06) and the shot put (17-10) — both meet records — and adding the 1,600. Her Sun Prairie East teammate Jurgen Aguilera took the shot put in a meet-record 28-8½.
Four athletes, a stack of meet records, and a division that delivered some of the most dominant performances in La Crosse. The wheelchair competitors didn't just win — they reset the standard.
