Rice Lake’s Kenny Bednarek broke his own record time in the 400-meter dash to set the all-division state meet record Saturday in the Division 2 Championships.
The junior finished nearly two seconds ahead of the runner-up with his time of 46.82 seconds. The previous 400-meter record came from Division 1, where Brian Jones of Nicolet had a time of 47.12 in 1990.
Bednarek also won the 200-meter dash Saturday by one-hundredth of a second over Kyle Thomas of River Valley.
Bednarek is now the two-time defending champion in both events. He is also the only runner in state history with a sub 47-second time in the 400-meter dash. The junior has managed the feat twice so far - running a 46.19 in sectional competition and then following with his 46.82 time at the state meet.
