The favored Western Branch boys and Bethel girls came out on top at Monday's Eastern Region Indoor Track & Field Championships as it was the fourth straight indoor team title for the Bethel girls. Meanwhile, a classic 55 meter hurdle battle was witnessed between Menchville's Kali Watkins (pictured left) and Hampton's Tierra Brown in the finals of the event as both hurdlers dipped under eight seconds in the same race with Watkins coming with the regional title in a US #5 clocking of 7.95 and Brown in second at a US #7 clocking of 7.99. Two Virginian girls under eight seconds in the same hurdle race is quite a historically rare occurence! Video clip below of the race. More to come from the Eastern Region Meet including complete results, meet summary, photos, and video clips.
