National record holder in the 60 meter hurdles and 2007 World Youth 110 meter hurdles champion Wayne Davis of Southeast Raleigh (NC) will be competing at the 2008 MileStat.com Elite Track held on Saturday, June 7th at Sports Backers Stadium in Richmond, Virginia. The state of Virginia will try to throw its best at him with three of the top four ranked hurdlers already entered in Jeffrey Artis (13.99), Michael Quash (14.03), and VIncent Brown (14.10) as well as Nike Indoor Nationals 60 meter hurdles All-American and 3A 55 meter hurdles state champion Kevin Newsome. Davis has ran well ahead of those times including his World Youth record breaking 13.18 performance last summer in Ostrava, Czech Republic .
Davis adds to a growing list of star athletes both from within the state of Virginia and out-of-state. The Eleanor Roosevelt girls dazzled the crowd at last year's Gala by beating a Virginia All-Star DMR team of Paige Johnston, Rachel Butler, Tasia Potasinski, and Catherine White. Arguably the nation's best girls track program in the nation over the past several years will be back for this year's event in preparation for the Nike Outdoor Nationals two weeks later. The school currently holds the nation's fastest times in both the 4x400 (3:37.16) and 4x800 (8:43.12) as their 4x800 time at Penn Relays set a new national record by an incredible seven seconds.
The the regular entry deadline is still open through midnight on Thursday, May 27th, while a late entry deadline period begins thereafter with a $10 late fee assessed until Tuesday, June 3rd when entries are closed finally.
