Two of the top three finishers from the seeded varsity boys race at Glory Days will be back at it again this weekend at the Georgetown Prep Classic, which should be the last major invitational for Virginian teams before starting up district meets the following week. Atlee's Ben Dejarnette and Potomac School's John Ross should be battling for the individual title as Dejarnette finished 10 seconds ahead of Ross last Saturday at the Glory Days Grill Invitational in second place with a personal best time of 15:09. Ross also ran a personal best at 15:19 for third place as Dejarnette and Ross are currently ranked #4 and #6 in the state of Virginia. Top Virginian girls will be Bishop O'Connell's Megan Fitzpatrick, Fairfax's Frances Dowd, and Potomac School's Anneka Wilson. Fitzpatrick is the top ranked runner in the private school ranks, while also having a #10 ranking in the state. Meanwhile, the 2007 AAA 800 meter state runner-up Dowd recorded a personal best of 18:31 in a seventh place showing at Glory Days. Wilson has virtually came out of nowhere as of late as her 18:34 performance at Glory Days caught many off guard as the sophomore has ran impressive so far this season with a Varsity B victory at Octoberfest as well. 13 schools from Virginia will be in attendance of the 34th annual Georgetown Prep Classic, which will be held on the school grounds in Rockville, Maryland.
