JEREMY HOECK/P&D BY JEREMY HOECK [email protected] TYNDALL – Devin Millen doesn’t mind being over- looked. Standing 6-foot-5, with a tall, red flattop haircut, the Bon Homme High School junior isn’t hard to miss at a track meet. But his perfor- mances of late could have more to do with him being noticed than his hair. “People don’t see me as a big threat. They think I’m just tall and uncoordinated,” Mil- len said, smiling, at Friday’s 22 nd annual Jim Flevares Relays in Tyndall. “I’m probably just the guy with the ‘fro, and people probably think, ‘He’s all rag- gedy and can’t do anything.’” That’s not what hap- pened Friday, though. Millen claimed individual titles in two events, the high jump (6-foot) and triple jump (39 feet, 11 ½ inches). He also took second in the long jump (19-5) and false started in the 110-meter hurdles – not giv- ing his hometown fans some- thing else to cheer about. Thing is, Millen doesn’t mind flying under the radar. It’s been that way ever since he started competing in varsity track back in middle school. Originally only wanting to be a high jumper, Millen later mastered the techniques in the triple jump and last year began competing in long jump. And yet, he still hasn’t reached his potential, accord- ing to his coach. “I don’t think he knows how good he can be yet,” Bon Homme head coach Byron Pudwill said. “Physically, in the last year, he really matured. Eight Meet Records Fall At Flevares TYNDALL – A total of eight meet records were set on Friday at the Jim Flevares Relays in Tyndall, and five of those marks were set by the hometown Bon Homme Cavaliers who also swept the team titles. Five new records were set on the boys’ side, which was won by Bon Homme with 196.5 total points. Corsica- Stickney was second in the 7-team meet. The first-place Cavaliers established meet records in three different relays, the 400 (44.57), 800 (1:32.74) and 1600 (3:33.72). The other meet records came from Corsica-Stickney’s Kruz Knud- son in the 110-meter hurdles (14.84) and Scotland’s Blake Konstanz in the pole vault (12-10). Bon Homme’s Devin Mil- len took first in the high jump (6-0) and triple jump (39- 11.5), while teammates Chase Kortan won the long jump (20-1.5), Brendan Bares won the 100-meter dash (11.21), Tanner Van Winkle won the 400 (55.53) and Nate Klinnert won the 3200 (12:04.23).

On the girls’ side, all three meet records were set in relays, as Bon Homme broke the marks in the 800 (1:49.7) and 1600 (4:11.48), while Irene-Wakonda did the same in the 400 (51.9). Bon Homme was first in the team race with 161.5 points, well in front of Corsica-Stickney (105.3). There were two dual champions, as Scotland’s Carley Skorepa in the discus (127-0) and shot put (34-4), and Irene-Wakonda’s Andrea Sokolowski won the 200 (27.28) and high jump (5-3).
