Apparently, T.J. Schiltz wasn’t ready to take a break after winning two medals in the recent Minnesota State High School Track and Field Meet.

The NRHEG student, a senior this fall, turned in a record-setting performance in Saturday’s AAU District Qualifier. Schiltz broke the meet record in the 1500 meters, winning with a time of 4:18. The old record was set in 2005. Schiltz also qualified in the high jump despite arriving late, throwing on his shoes and jumping with no warm-ups. He cleared 5 feet, 6 inches.

Schiltz’s showing qualifies him for the 2013 National Qualifier on June 30 at 8 a.m. in Des Moines, Iowa. From there, if he qualifies, Schiltz would move on to the AAU Junior Olympic Nationals in Ypsalanti, Mich., July 27 to August 3.
