Sitka senior Marina Dill of the DII Wolves was the first to finish that race, crossing the line of the 3,200 in a personal record time of 11:39.5.
“It’s insane,” Dill said. “It’s the second time this season I have run that and to get a PR is just so cool…I think it is because I work with a lot of really great teammates, who always push me in practices. We’re always cheering each other and I think that is really what made me run that last lap as fast as I could, seeing my teammates cheer. It is always nice to see the spirit.”

“That’s what my goal is,” she said. “So I’m hoping I can do it. This country wise email marketing list was a rainy wet course, just like practice.”
While Dill finished the girls’ race first she was not the fastest girl as classmate Clare Mullin ran a PR 10:51.6 as she toed the line in the boys’ race — a legal practice technique if meet officials approve it.
“Just wanted a PR out of this race,” Mullin said. “I feel like the 32 has always been my strongest event but I was feeling pretty faint going into it so I was just looking for a good time.”
Mullin isn’t necessarily looking for a state mark in the 32, which was set in 2015 by Kenai’s Allie Ostrander in 10:09.73.
“One of my goals this season is a 10:40,” she said.
Mullin will be chasing the state record in the 800 meters held by Wasilla High School’s Morgan Dampier, who hit a 2:10.42 at the 2011 championships. Mullin has run a 2:10.73 in a season meet. She swept the 800, 1,600 and 3,200 at last season’s DII state championships; the 800 and 1,600 in 2023 and the 800, 1,600 and 3,200 in 2022.
Sitka senior Connor Hitchcock won the boys’ 3,200 in 9:53.6 with Ketchikan junior Carter Phillips second in his season-best 10:36.5 and Craig sophomore Aulis Nelson third in a PR 10:36.7
