My grandson Alex Klatt from Billings Senior HS set a new 800 meter record in the recent top ten meet. He ran a 1.55.38 beating the old record set in 1988. He won the state AA state 800 last year as a sophmore.

He has Miles City ties as his other Grand parents, the late Carl and Lois Klatt were long time residents.

Very neat, Ike. Congratulations!

Well done, Alex.

I'm a proud cousin, as well! Way to go, Alex!!!

Thanks everyone. Here is the race if you would like to watch it.

Proud Dad!

WOW...It ended up looking like he was the only one on the track. Talk about amazing. Congrats...and, yea for Billings Senior...my alma mater. It looked like you by the finish line, Ike?????

Hello Ike. It's been a long time since I've seen your name on here, and I smiled when I did. I hope things are going good for you these days, and I'm so glad that your grandson has made you so proud (as I'm sure your other grandchildren do). Congratulations to him and all the best to you, Sir.

Congrats Ike, nothing like a grandchild to make ya proud and happy...If I had known grandkids were so wonderful, I would have tried to have them first LOL...

Hey, Ike is back!

Hope you're doing well, you old bull, you!

That was an awesome race to watch. Thank you.

Thursday at the Billings City track meet, Alex surpassed another 1986 record in the 800 meters by running a 1.55.53. 2 more meets this year for him. Divisionals and State. Keep topping those records Alex.

wow, what an athlete...reaching for the stars will be easy for him in life...

Congrats, Alex, on winning the 800 at the State meet for two years in a row!! Definitely wish we could have been there to see it!!

Yes, 2 years in a row, now for a 3 peat. This year in the snow at state in Butte he was also 3rd in the 400, 5th in the 1600 and anchored the 4 X 400 relay that took second. Bruce posted the youtube videos.

Way cool! Gave me goosebumps!!!! Thanks for sharing!
