Both course records went down today at the revival of the MileStat.com Invitational held at Pocahontas State Park in Chesterfield County as Mills Godwin's Grant Pollock and Osbourn Park's Ariel Karabinus rolled on the fast 5K layout held under cool but ideal racing conditions. Pollock's 15:20 broke the old course record of 15:21 previously held by 2007 Foot Locker Finalist and AAA state cross country champion Jason Witt. Karabinus' 17:52 broke the old course record of 18:02 previously held by 2007 Foot Locker Finalist and AAA state cross country champion Kathleen Lautzenheiser of Midlothian.

 

Pollock and Karabinus both led their teams to dominant team victories as the Osbourn Park girls posted an impressive team average of 18:53 and team score of 33. AAA #2 ranked Osbourn Park was not able to have a showdown with AAA #3 ranked Lake Braddock as the bus failed to show to take the Bruins down I-95 from Burke.

 

Fast times throughout the field with five girls breaking 19 minutes and 26 breaking 20 minutes, while six boys dipped under 16 minutes and 42 runners posted times under 17 minutes.
