BILLINGS — Billings Skyview sprinter Ryan Dierenfield ran the fastest high school indoor 60-meter dash in the nation on Sunday at the 2024 Spokane Speed Games, according to the website Athletic.net.
Running unattached, Dierenfield won the finals with a time of 6.68 seconds, beating second-place Eddie Bruner Jr. of Tacoma, Wash., who finished in 6.83 seconds.
Dierenfield's time is listed as the country's fastest boys high school 60-meter clocking by .07 seconds. Elijah Amenra of Archbihop Carroll High School in Washington D.C. has the No. 2 best time of 6.75 seconds, which he ran at the Virginia Beast HS Invite on Dec. 7.
