Claire Kohler of Minnetonka swept the girls hurdles races at state the past two years and anchored Minnetonka's record-breaking 4x400 relay, but she holds other moments at least as dear.

”Track seems like an individual sport, but it’s very much a team sport at Minnetonka. When I look back on my high school career, I don’t think my individual accomplishments are what I will remember. Instead, I’ll remember riding on the bus with all my friends, singing, and how we would go to dinner after meets.” — Claire Kohler
