There will be two special races for boys and girls this year at the Howard Wood Dakota Relays in Sioux Falls.
Last year's meet was not held due to renovations at Howard Wood Field, so officials announced there would be two special invitation-only races. The girls' 200 meters special at 7 p.m. Saturday will feature runners from three states, including Minot junior Morgan Milbrath; and Hopkins, Minn., senior Taylor Anderson. South Dakotans in the race are Rapid City Stevens senior Karissa Prpich; Sioux Falls Christian junior Stacy Smidt; Pierre freshman Cortney Dowling; Sturgis junior Brooke Ireland; St. Thomas More senior Stachia Reuwsaat; and Parker sophomore Brittany Olson.
The boys' fields for the special races will be announced today.
