2012 XC Top Returners Statewide #2
Dan Curts (Jr. Ellsworth) Curts finished 3rd in the Class B state meet for the 2nd straight year last fall, as he ran 16:38.43 at Twinbrook. Dan went on to run a personal best 16:19 at the NE Championship to finish 19th to earn ALL-NE honors. He was the top sophomore in the NE meet last fall. On the track this winter he was the Class B runner-up in the 2 mile (9:37.28), while outdoors Curts ran a personal best of 9:26.59 in the 3200m once again finishing 2nd, narrowly misses the win. Dan also ran a personal of 4:24.27 for the 1600m. Curts is ready to challenge for the state meet win this fall, and if he does win he'll join a long list of individual champions at Ellsworth.
