Track and field

Bellarmine Prep’s Brie Felnagle, who staged a memorable losing battle in the 800-meter run with Becca Noble of Rogers at the State 4A meet, ran the fifth-fastest girls mile in American prep history but finished second during the Nike Outdoor Nationals at Greensboro, N.C.

Felnagle finished in 4 minutes, 39.71 seconds and nearly caught Tennessee recruit Sarah Bowman (4:36.95) of Warrenton, Va., in the final 200 meters.
