Nine Auburn track and field athletes represented the Bulldogs at the NSAA Class B State Track & Field Championships at Omaha Burke High School last week, breaking records and earning multiple medals as the 2026 track season came to a close.
Before senior Addie Darnell continued her track career at the collegiate level, the state champion hurdler added two more gold medals and set new records along the way. Darnell officially broke the 100 meter hurdles state and meet records in the preliminary race before chopping off even more time with a first place time of 14.23 seconds. Later that same day, Darnell broke another meet record on her way to a gold medal in the 300 meter hurdles with a time of 43.55.
Senior Logan Rowell also had a big Thursday, throwing the discus 182 feet to finish third in the throwing event, the final event of his high school career. Rowell’s third place finish accounted for all of Auburn’s six team points, as the Bulldogs tied for 29th in the Class B team scores.
