Albemarle HS and two-time AAA state cross country champion grad Rachel Rose (now married as Rachel Ward) is also competing in the women's 10K.

I believe that April Sinkler went to Brooke Point, not Hayfield.

Sorry Senior moment Sinkler did go to Brooke Point not Hayfield.

I believe that David Verburg (EC Glass '09) a junior at George Mason has qualified for the 400 with his 45.06 time.

Donnie Cowart of Rustburg is also suppoesed to be competing in the steeplechase

Marlena Wesh is competing in the Olympics, but is running for Haiti.

Both David Verburg, 400m (EC Glass), and Lavell Handy, LJ and TJ (Bethel) from George Mason

Lavell Handy now George Mason, competed at Hampton high school NOT bethel high school. Class of '08

Looking through the hammer results, I see Nick Welihozkiy, West Springfield '99 and Stanford competing for the Golden West Athletics Club. Nick won several state championships in the shot and discus while at West Springfield.

SO Excited that Stephanie Garcia made it to the finals of the steeple! Way to go, Stephanie! Wahoo, Wah!

Not exactly part of the Olympic Trials, but rising senior, Sean McGorty of Chantilly is running in an exhibition Mile at 2:45 pm (Pacific time)on Friday at the Olympic Trials as part of the NIKE Elite Running camp, along with nine other boys and ten girls invited to the camp. So proud to have Sean representing VA in this camp, and wish him well in Oregon.

Tonight we can see three former Virginia High School hurdlers in the 400 M Hurdle semi. Brittany Hyter Osbourn Park/Arkansas will be in one heat while high school rivals Tierra Brown will once again race Queen Harrison. Too bad meet record holder Sheena Johnson Gar-Field / UCLA is not competing.
