To keep things light heading into this week's pressure-packed state high school track and field championships, Kenai Central athletes drew names and decorated white T-shirts for one another.

Run a little faster and you can too

Kaleb Korta and Briahna Gerlach are accustomed to running alone -- most of their training is done solo, and so is a decent amount of their racing.

They gained more experience on that front Friday, when Korta and Gerlach ran away from their respective fields in the 3,200 meters at the Class 1-2-3A state track and field championships.
