Laura Roesler Fargo South is better than Pronk

At the first day of state track the buzz is simply Laura Roesler. Period.
Just a sophomore Fargo South's Laura Roesler posted the top preliminary times in the girls 100 (11.90), 200 (24.75) and 400 (55.70).

She's one of the top runners...in the nation. Yes I said the United States. According the dyestat.com her 800 is #2 in the United States. I'd love to see her run in the boys A 800. In track the better the competition, the better the results

I ask why can North Dakota turn out cross country, track and field that are tops in the nation and not generate more buzz than just on the infield of the Bowl in Bismarck? I don't get it.

Darin Erstad is a backup, so is Chris Coste, and Pronk is barely hitting above .200.

Laura Roesler is North Dakota's best athlete on a national scale. End of discussion.

Just a thought here...bear with me for a moment. You're wondering why North Dakota can turn out talented runners like Laura Roesler, Lindsay Anderson, Andrew Carlson, Steve Sundell, Becki Wells, or Corey Ihmels (to name a few), but they don't get any recognition beyond the local sports page?

You complain about Roesler not getting any coverage, and in the same breath, you call the Fargo Marathon a 'fun run'?

Maybe you're part of the problem.

Cheers.
