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.

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 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.
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.

Day 1 Highlights (
Results):
Hampton sophomore Chantel Ray nearly joined a short list of past Virginians who have ever broken 8 seconds in the girls' 55 meter hurdles. Ray was right off at the time with a 8 seconds flat clocking in the finals on Friday night, which moves her into the #1 ranking in the country. She was helped to the time by her rival Leah Lott of Landstown who was right on her heels with a US #2 clocking in 8.01 for an epic race for two non-seniors (Lott is a junior).
Taylor Frena of Kempsville launched a monster throw in the shot put to improve his personal best by four feet with a US #3 performance of 61'3.25". Frenia has improved nearly a full 10 feet in one year's time from last indoor season.
The Ocean Lakes girls 4x800 meter relay featuring sub 5 minute miler Audrey Batzel and state cross country runner-up Nikki Park went onto run the state's second fastest time in the 4x800 meter relay with a time of 9:36.99. The relay did not include Olivia Bethune (who has ran 3:00 in the 1000), so Ocean Lakes could be in the mix at the state meet which they had won the state indoor title a few years back.

Michael Cherry had been fortunate to be part of some great relays at Oscar Smith for his first two years of high school including an outdoor state champion 4x400 as a freshmen and nearly a second 4x400 state title last spring if not for a uniform violation disqualified his relay last spring. Cherry, who was the only freshmen 400 meter dash state qualifier in Group AAA two years ago, started to break through individually on the state level in making the finals of the 400 meter dash at the 2011 VHSL Group AAA State Outdoor Championships and over the summer dropped his 400 meter time down to 48.30 while competing for the Five Star Track Club. With Cherry as the lone returnee from Oscar Smith's 3:18 4x400 meter relay last year, the focus has shifted more to his individual events for his junior year. Over the winter break at the Boo Williams Sportsplex, he defeated one of the state's top returning quarter milers in Woodrow Wilson's Kenneth Williams with a US #9 clocking of 49.20. The Oscar Smith junior is becoming a serious contender and challenger for state titles in the 300 and 500 meter dash indoors as well as certainly will be in the mix for the 400 meter dash in the spring of 2012. Cherry ran a state leading and US #5 time of 34.76 last week at Boo Williams and will be looking to drop his 500 meter time this weekend at the Hampton Roads Elite High School Showcase. MileStat.com interviewed Cherry as he tunes up for his third 500 meter race ever on Saturday.

A competitive gymnast as a youth spending over 30 hours per week training, Fluvanna County sophomore Hannah Meador decided to give up the sport in middle school. She suddenly had a lot of free time and energy on her hands and needed to fill it with something else, which she did with the pole vault. As a freshmen last year at Fluvanna County, Meador was a state runner-up indoors and then won her first state title at the Group AA State Outdoor Championships. Her 11'9" clearance at the Jefferson District Meet was a Virginia high school freshmen record and put her only 3 inches away from joining a short list of vaulters in state history to have cleared 12 feet with three years left to go in high school.
After an incredibly successful first year of pole vault, Meador is back at in her sophomore year as she is the current state leader with two back-to-back 11'6" clearances at Fork Union over the past two weekends. The small town of Palmyra, Virginia which Fluvanna County High School is located within is becoming a launching pad for the pole vault in Virginia as Meador and teammate Chance Parmly (15'0" state best clearance at Fork Union) under the guidance of their coach Tom Casto are the top ranked vaulters for both boys and girls in the state. MileStat.com interviewed the promising young vault star Meador after her recent 11'6" season best clearance at Fork Union.

The 1000 meter run and pole vault had the best performances for both genders at the 2012 Fred Hardy Invitational at Fork Union's Estes Athletic Center. While their times might be the best times in Virginia this indoor season, their performances given on a 160 meter short track might be the best this season in the state with Hidden Valley's Carolyn Bethel at 2:56.45 in the girls' race and Fork Union's Michael Idziak at 2:34.48 in the boys' race. Personal runs for both and re-affirms that runners can roll out fast times at the Estes Center. Fluvanna County shined in the pole vault as they have done all winter between their two state leading vaulters in sophomore Hannah Meador (11'6") and Chance Parmly (15'0"). For Parmly, it was his first time over 15 feet.

Top performance from the first of two long days of high school track & field action at the Liberty Flames High School Invitational belonged to Rashaan Jones of South Lakes clearing a US #1 height of 7 feet in the high jump. Jones, only a junior, has developed greatly from his sophomore year which he finished with a 6'6" clearance at the VHSL Group AAA State Outdoor Championships. Jones joins only seven others in Virginia high school indoor track history to have ever successfully cleared 7 feet.
Both seeded sections of the 1600 meter run produced swift times as Cave Spring sophomore Katie Fortner broke 5 minutes virtually leading wire to wire in a US #11 4:58.79 performance, while the Foot Locker All-American in Sean McGorty of Chantilly took charge similarly en route to his VA #2 victory at 4:19.31 in the boys' race. A deep race for both with 9 boys running 4:26 or faster and 11 girls breaking 5:20.
Not many athletes in Virginia's history have been as great as Felecia Majors is in the pole vault and excelled so well in other disciplines of track & field. The South County senior Majors cleared 11 feet to win the pole vault easily, but even more impressively won the 300 meter dash against previous state leader and regional rival Genamarie McCant with a state leading and US #9 clocking of 40.24. The title of Miss Versatility in Virginia might not necessarily go to Shakeela Saunders in her back to Virginia with the continued improvements made by Majors, who also will qualified for the finals of the 55 meter dash to be held on Saturday and finished second in the long jump on Friday with a mark of 17'3.25".

It seems like half her time has been spent cross training and the other half her time has spent running when summing up Monacan senior Kaila Blackburn's high school running career. She has had to deal with two stress fractures in the past which caused her to miss most of her sophomore outdoor season and another one to miss her entire junior indoor season. After spending some time resting and cross training following the end of a cross country which iron deficiency slowed her down in the final two races at Foot Locker South, she has returned back to running faster than ever. Blackburn has destroyed her previous personal bests at 3200 (10:56.74), 1600 (4:58.56), and 1000 (2:58.00) meters in only two indoor meets (both at Liberty University's Tolsma Track Center) in the past four weeks.

It seems that talks and proposals of re-alignments and creating more classifications for schools competing in the Virginia High School League has been on the table for years, but no changes have been made to date. The latest plan is to go from the current three classifications which has existed since 1970 and double to a new six class system starting in the 2013-2014 school year. The VHSL's executive committee will vote on the proposal on February 22nd with the final approval vote coming in April. In this new proposal, districts could include schools from different classifications (but no gap more than 3 classifications apart). Essentially, a 6A school could be in the same district as 3A schools but no 2A schools. Regional playoffs or qualifiers would be eliminated for a new qualification system to the state championships. It is not certain what the new qualification system would mean for cross country and track & field in a new 6 class system. Another previous proposal had mentioned sectional qualifiers instead of regional qualifier meets, which would not necessarily include schools who geographically match and more spread out based on enrollment and classification.

In a loaded finals field of the 55 meter dash at the Southeastern Invitational featuring current US leader Ayo Raymond of James Robinson and another rising star within his district in Damian Smith of Green Run, First Colonial senior Justin Burke made a defiant statement that he is still considered as arguably Virginia's high school best sprinter with a US #1 clocking of 6.38. Burke is within reach of the Virginia high school all-time top 25 list in the 55 meter dash, which has a current cut-off at 6.33. It was a smoking finals with four athletes under 6.50 in Burke (6.38), Raymond (6.44), Smith (6.45), and Western Branch's Mondryl Glover (6.49).
Next best performance of the evening belonged to Grassfield senior Trey Holloway who continues to distance himself from the next best hurdlers in Virginia after taking his previous state leading season best time of 7.48 down to a US #2 performance of 7.39 in the finals on Friday night at the Boo Williams Sportsplex in Hampton. Holloway is also sniffing at joining the Virginia high school all-time top 25 club with Burke as the current cut-off time for joining the historic list of Virginia's greatest in the 55 meter hurdles is 7.36 currently.
