MileStat.com will be on-site with photo coverage from Ryan Kelly. Live results throughout the meet. The hurdles finals on Friday saw historic performances from Grassfield senior Trey Holloway and Landstown junior Leah Lott. Holloway at the Atlantic Coast Invitational, blazed through the hurdles in the finals with a VA #5 all-time performance of 7.28, which currently ties him as the national leader. Meanwhile, Lott joined only 15 other past Virginia high school girls to dip under 8 seconds in the 55 meter hurdles with a VA #12 all-time clocking of 7.99. Current 55 dash state leaders Justin Burke of First Colonial and Taranisha Taylor of Western Branch both came away with victories on day one of the Atlantic Coast Invite, but neither were able to improve upon their season best with winning times of 6.48 and 7.06 respectively. In the field events, Kempsville senior Taylor Frenia was trying to match or better his VA #9 all-time mark of 61'3.25" from two weeks ago in the shot put, but had to settle with a 59'1" winning mark which still is top 20 all-time territory. Lakeland's Anaquan Peterson, a returning indoor All-American in the triple jump, was only a few inches off his season best mark last week at Virginia Tech (47'7") with a leap of 47'3".

Batzel (#7) & Johnson (#16) move up VA all-time 1000 list, Evans (#8) joins list
Three girls from Virginia competed last night in the New Balance Collegiate Invitational elite high school girls 1000 meter run. While competing unattached, Midlothian's Skylar Evans and Marie Johnston along with Audrey Batzel of Ocean Lakes, were pulled along in a loaded field to Virginia top 20 all-time performances. Batzel, competing again next weekend at the Armory in the Millrose Games mile, was the top finisher from Virginia with a VA #7 all-time performance of 2:53.05 for sixth place in the race. Batzel was closely followed in by Midlothian senior Skylar Evans in seventh place with a VA #8 all-time run of 2:53.38. Marie Johnston's old sister, Paige is #4 on the VA all-time list at 2:51.05, and she still has a year to close in on Paige's time after her VA #16 effort of 2:54.68 on Friday night. Midlothian coach Stan Morgan currently has coached four of the 16 fastest girls at 1000 meters in Virginia high school history with #4 Paige Johnston (2:51.08 - 2008), #8 Skylar Evans (2:53.38), #9 Kathleen Lautzenheiser (2:53.58), and #16 Marie Johnston (2:54.68). Athlete Spotlight: Sean McGorty
Coming from two high school and collegiate track star parents in pole vaulting dad Kevin McGorty and distance running mom Vicki Verinder (now Vicki McGorty), Chantilly junior Sean McGorty has already made a name for himself with his own two feet. McGorty this past fall qualified for the Foot Locker Nationals (like his mother did at Langley in the early 1980s) in San Diego and had an impressive run at Balboa Park to finish 10th overall and beat his friendly regional rival at Annandale High School in Ahmed Bile as well in the race. While not pressured or pushed hard to run by his parents when entering high school, McGorty made a big jump in his sophomore year to earn All-State honors in both cross country, indoor, and outdoor track. Most impressive among his All-State accolades as a sophomore was the fact that he was able to successfully double in the distance races with top 8 finishes both indoor and outdoor in the 1600 and 3200 meter run.
McGorty is part of a growing list of national caliber and state champion distance runners being developed by Chantilly coach Matt Gilchrist in the past six years following the likes of Chris Foley, Lia Divalentin, and Brad Siragusa. The Chantilly team, led currently by McGorty, has been achieving some first-time feats and ending long droughts for the program including winning district titles last year in track and winning major invitationals in cross country as well as advancing for the state meet for the first time since 1992 this past fall. At the first day of the Concorde District Championships last week, McGorty got the Chargers out to a grew start when he ran a state leading and personal best time of 4:15 for 1600 meters. MileStat.com interviewed the 2011 Foot Locker All-American in McGorty in between the six day break between day one (January 26th) and day two (February 2nd) of his district indoor championship meet at the Prince George County's Sports & Learning Complex. College Signings - Class of 2012
Ahmed Bile made it official. Hoya Saxa!
February 1st was the first day for today's high school senior student-athletes to sign their National Letter of Intents with their future colleges and university. Several top athletes in Virginia had already made verbal commitments earlier this school year, while some waited till this week to make their decision and others are still taking their time and weighing their options. Let us know of any college commitments, which we currently do not have listed on our 2012 college signings list. If there is a NLI signing session, please send (email to milestat@gmail.com) in a photo capturing that special moment as well. Virginia Tech Invitational Race Videos
Race videos now uploaded from the Virginia Tech Invitational of virtually every race (missed a few slow sections) from the two-day meet at Rector Field House in Blacksburg on January 27th & 28th. St. Christopher's Invitational Coverage
David Johnson (Charlottesville) US #1 49-10.25 TJ
MileStat.com will have photo coverage from Ryan Kelly at the St. Christopher's Invitational. We will also have frequent results updates throughout the meet (check the meet page throughout the two days for results by event). Three Virginia girls posted state leading performances on day one including two US #1 performances from Ocean Lakes senior Audrey Batzel in the 3200 meter run (10:39.96) and Louisa County junior Javanique Burrus in the long jump (20'1"). Batzel has put together a string of outstanding races over the last month including a 4:58 mile and 2:55 1000. Burrus had only been over 19 feet once, while being a consistent performer ov er 18 feet prior to her big mark at St. Chris. The third state leading performance came from Matoaca sophomore Briana Hayes, who bettered her VA #1 season best by clearing at US #7 height of 5'7" in the high jump. An outstanding boys' long jump competition with three over 23 feet led by winner Jamarian Bates of Matoaca at a US #7 leap of 23'8.75". St. Christopher's stellar indoor track facility for whatever reason has not produced the always fastest times in the 55 dash or hurdles, but Phoebus freshmen Carolyn Brown dispelled that assumption with a facility record breaking 7.04 clocking in the 55 meter dash.

Underwood to race Saturday night at the MSG
West Potomac senior Sarah Jane Underwood will be racing Saturday evening in the invitational high school mile race at the first ever USATF U.S. Open, which is a meet that has been created to replace the Millrose Games at the Madison Square Garden in New York City. The Millrose Games still exist (which 3 Virginian girls have qualified for the mile in), but have moved this year to the faster 200 meter banked track at the New York Armory on a later date. However, the USATF has stepped up to host a indoor track & field meet at the historic short banked track found within the Madison Square Garden and this new meet has many of the same events of the Millrose Games including an invitation-only high school mile race which Underwood has been selected for. The West Potomac senior has already ran a 5:09 full mile earlier this month at the Montgomery Invitational and last month ran a personal best time of 2:55.97 in the 1000 meter run. This will be Underwood's second consecutive weekend in New York City after she ran on West Potomac's 4x800 meter relay last weekend at the New Balance Games which clocked a state leading performance of 9:26.50. This event will be broadcasted on ESPN2 on January 29, 7:00-9:00 p.m.
Swift 1600s lead-off for Concorde District
Herndon's Carina Peter leaped and sprinted out to a stellar first day of championship season with a US #12 personal best mark of 18'9.75" in the long jump, while running away with first in the 55 meter dash finals with an all-time best 7.14 clocking. Early season US 55 meter dash leader Ayo Raymond of James Robinson was able to cruise through his district meet in a finals time of 6.44 on Thursday. Raymond has been consistent with his times as the Robinson junior has clocked two 6.43's and two 6.44's this season. Another Robinson athlete Chioma Onyekwere is performing well at the right time of the season as last spring's third place finisher in the girls' shot put at the outdoor state championships threw just off 40 feet with a mark of 39'10.25".
After day one events, Oakton girls (75 pts) lead after 23 points from the 1600 meter run and another 20 points from Meghan Jean-Baptiste as a multi-event winner in the 55 meter hurdles (8.83) and high jump (5'0") as well as runner-up in the long jump. Meanwhile, defending boys' team champions Chantilly find themselves tied up with Oakton at 53 points even.

Announced after the New Balance Games on Saturday, January 21st, three girls from Virginia earned their way into the Millrose Games high school mile field with either top two finishes at select Armory races this season or on time. This year's Millrose Games will be held Saturday, February 11th in a new location (previously at the Madison Square Garden) at the New York Armory. Earlier this season, Ocean Lakes senior Audrey Batzel earned her spot with a fourth place finish of 4:58.07 at the Hispanic Games on January 8th. Meanwhile, Foot Locker finalists Megan Moye of Cosby and Sophie Chase of Lake Braddock visited New York City last weekend for the final qualifier race for Millrose. Moye nearly was able to run away from the field for a the win before Laura Leff of West Genesse (NY) was able to catch her down the final stretch for a 4:48.96 win. Despite not getting the win, her second place effort was the second fastest indoor mile time ever by a Virginia high school prep behind only Sarah Bowman (4:46.79) of Fauquier. Her mile time of 4:49.36 from the New Balance Games converts to 4:47.68 for 1600 meters. Taking third in the race behind Moye was her rival Sophie Chase, who had beaten Moye in all four of their head-to-head races in cross country season. The Lake Braddock junior qualified by time for Millrose with her VA #12 all-time indoor performance of 4:55.79 last weekend at the Armory. One-fourth of the 12 runner high school girls' mile field for Millrose will be from the state of Virginia with Batzel, Chase, and Moye accepting their race invitations.

Swift 1600 meter races highlighted day one of the Concorde District Champions at the Prince George County's Sports & Learning Center. Foot Locker All-American Sean McGorty (4:15.29) of Chantilly battled down to the wire with Michael McNamee (4:15.78) of Oakton. McGorty won in the end, but both runners achieved personal bests under the old meet record of 4:16.75 (Phil Gaeta, Oakton, 2002) and the state's top two times this indoor season. The Oakton girls really dominated the 1600 meter run with only James Robinson's Macey Schweikert (3rd, 5:08.86) and Chantilly's Kendall Cowne (5th, 5:10.8) able to break up the Lady Cougars pack. Oakton had the top 2 finishers between freshmen Allie Klimkiewicz (1st, 5:06.70) and junior Briana Stewart (2nd, 5:07.42) while their other teammates Hailey Dougherty (4th, 5:09.61) and Kristi Carrigan (6th, 5:13.30) ran impressive times. If they decide to run a 4xmile relay at the indoor nationals, the Oakton girls could be very competitive in that event.
