Melcher-Dallas will have two runners at the State Meet today in Fort Dodge as J’Lyn Knutson will run for the girls, and Emery Sage will run for the boys. Sage says he wants to improve on his 34th place finish from last year. Knutson has been dealing with a hip flexor injury and hopes to be able to be competitive enough to have something for the final few meters of today’s race.
