Judith Nelson+FollowRapid City’s Birnbaum shatters Oregon recordSimeon Birnbaum just made history—he’s now the first Oregon runner to break the 7:40 barrier in the indoor 3,000 meters, clocking 7:39.65 at a big Boston meet. This Rapid City native keeps putting South Dakota on the national running map, adding to his 13 state titles and national high school records. It’s wild to see a local athlete rewriting the record books at a powerhouse like Oregon. What do you think this means for young runners in our area? Could Rapid City become a new hotbed for elite track talent? #Sports #RapidCity #TrackAndField00Share
