Evans casts eye to NYC; Prairie wins title

Josh Evans is dreaming about New York City.

Specifically, the Linn-Mar senior is dreaming about running in the Dream Mile in New York City on June 14 in an event that will feature the top high school milers in the country.

Evans definitely belongs in the conversation, but he has not clinched a spot yet despite his winning time of 4:10.76 at the Drake Relays two weeks ago.

He was hoping to go even faster at the MVC Valley Division Meet at Prairie High School Thursday evening, but nobody pushed him and he had to settle for 4:12.69.

"I want to go to that Dream Mile thing in New York. You need about a 4:07 1600 time to get in, so I was trying to get down in that range," he said after breaking the meet record.
