Juneau-Douglas High School: Yadaa.at Kalé 2025 graduate Nick Iverson and JDHS sophomore-to-be Bella Connally both placed their names into the Crimson Bears track and field record books this past season — and on Wednesday literally placed their names on the wall of fame in the JDHS auxiliary gym.
“I feel like the work for it mostly came from working out all winter long in the school gym,” Iverson said of achieving his school record 1:55:34 for 800 meters. “Running on treadmills, lifting weights, etc. The c level contact listrecord board is right next to the gym, so every day over the winter I would look up at the board and see the records, and the desire to get the 800 record sort of increased throughout the winter, since I first started thinking of getting the record after junior year track.”
Iverson set the 800 mark at the May 17 Ketchikan Invitational. He also won the state 800 title in 1:57:57 and state 1600 title in 4:22.29 during the 2025 ASAA state championships at Anchorage’s Dimond High School on May 30 and was named Male Athlete of the Meet. He was runner-up at the Brian Young Invitational last weekend in Kodiak with a 1:56.35 for the 800 and a mile PR runner-up time of 4:19.66.
