From Sioux Falls Argus Leader
Written by Brian Haenchen
Winner’s Cameron Kuil was named the boys track athlete of the year at the Sioux Falls Argus Leader sports award ceremony on June 3.
The 400-meter dash is not an event Winner senior Cameron Kuil looks forward to running in.
“I always kind of dread it right before the race,” he explained.
However, Kuil’s emotions typically change when he crosses the finish line.
“But after it’s done, I feel good,” he continued. “I’m tall, have long legs and I guess some speed. It’s all contributed to me running some good times.”
Kuil had ample reason to feel good following the 400 at this year’s state meet. The future South Dakota State University Jackrabbit successfully defended his state title, completing his lap in 48.52, a personal best mark which placed him nearly two seconds ahead of the rest of the field.
He also ran to victory in the 200 and was .01 second away from finishing first in the 100 as well.
For his performance, Kuil was named the MVP Class A in track.
Other Winner nominees for the Argus Leader awards were: Krockett Krokikowski as football player of the year; Dan Aaker as coach year and Winner as the football team of the year.
