Bardstown senior distance runner Adam Kahleifeh gets his chance to try his hand against some of the best mile specialists, regardless of school size, in Kentucky in tonight’s Dream Mile at St. Xavier.

“We’re very excited for him to be able to represent the school” in this event, Bardstown coach Tom Williams said.

Participants include the top 15 mile specialists (1600 meters) in Kentucky, based on seed time. At last month’s Eastern Relays, Kahleifeh delivered a school-record 4:24.88, the ninth-best time in the state this year at that distance. He will be facing many of the same runners tonight that he faced at Eastern (starters listed below).

B’town Invitational

The Bardstown Invitational, set for May 21, is shaping up to be a very strong meet. Bardstown coach Tom Williams said state powers Covington Holmes and Erlanger St. Henry have been added to the roster of teams, which now stands at 13 and could swell.

Bardstown, Nelson County and Bethlehem will all be in action that day as well.

Bardstown All-Comers

The Tiger boys and girls dominated in winning their home meet.

The Tiger girls got firsts in 12 of 18 events, with Cierra Allen getting the win in the 100- and 200-meter dash. Marina Culver won the 100 and 300 high hurdles.

Flannery Musk’s second-place performance in the 800-meter run was the best result for a Bethlehem athlete. The Banshees were fourth of five teams.

Bardstown’s boys won 15 of 18 events, as Ben Lyvers snared firsts in the 100- and 200-meter dash, while J.P. Willett scored wins in the pole vault and long jump. Nick McCarty won the triple jump and 110-meter high hurdles, but fell just short of a trifecta with a second-place finish in the high jump.
