With her 54.85 performance in the 400 finals at the Group AAA State Outdoor Championships, Patrick Henry's Tiffany Harris may have just set the state record for freshmen. Class records are difficult to verify in the years prior to the creation of MileStat.com in 2000, but no 9th grader has came through over the past 13 years in the state of Virginia including Olympian and high school indoor 400 meter record holder Francena McCory that has been able to break 55 seconds like Harris was able to accomplish at Todd Stadium in Newport News close to two and a half weeks ago. Listed below are final top 50 freshmen girls rankings for each event from this past outdoor track & field season.

During his high school career at William Byrd, Trey Gibson was an All-Region performer numerous times in cross country and track. The Blue Ridge District runner-up in cross country this past fall, Gibson finished 33rd in the Group AA state meet before unfortunately missing most of his senior season of track. Going back to his junior year, Gibson had great success on the track running a string of PR's with best times of 1:58.85 in the 800, 4:28 in the 1600, and 10:06 in the 3200.

At the 2012 Gojekian Twilight Classic, Mary Cate Scully set a brisk pace for the first 1600 meters of her 3200 meters and kept it going for another 1600 meters to have a big breakthrough performance with a PR time of 10:54. Her season several weeks after that meet was derailed and cut short due to injury, which forced her to play catch up in cross country and during much of her senior season to regain that form shown in that 10:54 3200 effort. Nonetheless, Scully was able to be a valuable and significant contributor to the South County girls in both their indoor and outdoor state team titles

The indoor state team champions South County will be strong favorites to become outdoor state champions as well with one of the greatest and most versatile athletes in Virginia high school track & field history on their squad in Felecia Majors able to win the state meet by herself as she did during the indoor state championships back in February. Majors is slated to compete in 7 events over the two day meet between four field events in the pole vault, high jump, long jump, and triple jump along with the 100, 200, and 400 meter dashes. Majors is a defending state champion in the pole vault, long jump, 400, and 200, while she is definitely capable of being All-State and challenging for first in the high jump, triple jump, and 100 meter dash. South County has other individuals and relays qualified for the meet (but all their relays will be without Majors now maxed out with 3 individual running events). Athletes with the best chances to possibly add a few more points for South County will be Morgan Knight in the pole vault and 100 meter hurdles as well as Mary Cate Scully in the 1600. Majors scored 49 points among 6 individual events at the 2013 VHSL Group AAA State Indoor Championships and added a few more points as leg on the 4x400 meter relay. Entered in 7 individual events for this weekend's 2013 VHSL Group AAA State Championships, Majors is likely to shatter any existing record of most points scored by any individual in one meet in AAA state meet history.
