The 5-foot-11, 145-pound senior raced to victory at the Class A state championships this past season in a personal-best time of 15:28.80, pacing the Demons to second place as a team. Korsmo won four invitational meets last fall and competed in both the Nike Cross and the Champs Sports regional championships. He was the state’s fastest runner at the Rapid City Area Schools Invitational, finishing less than two seconds off the pace set by All-American and Gatorade South Dakota Player of the Year, Simeon Birnbaum.
