LA CROSSE - It's impossible to predict what curveball a race at the state track and field championships will throw at an elite runner. Darlington junior Tyson Miehe got wobbly and tumbled to the track after Eau Claire Immanuel Lutheran's Darin Lau bumped into him as they were jockeying for position in the final stretch of the 3,200-meter run. Miehe recovered to finish fifth place at the WIAA Division 3 state meet Friday, May 31 at Veterans Memorial Stadium.
