Northern Region: Lake Braddock-James Robinson girls engage in great battle, South Lakes repeats

Lake Braddock freshmen Sophie Chase (pictured left by Ted Plunkett) appears to be ready to make her presence felt at another state championship. After leading Lake Braddock to the state cross country title in the fall, Chase helped lead the Bruins to the Northern Region indoor track title on Saturday at George Mason University by winning two regional titles in the 1600 (5:04) and 3200 (11:09) meter races. Lake Braddock with a team score of 76 points won the 2010 regional crown by the narrowest of margins by 1 point over defending champions James Robinson, who were led by 500 and 300 meter dash champion Genamarie McCant.

The South Lakes boys repeated as Northern Region team champions behind the efforts of Adrian Vaughan in the sprints and Sean Price in the jumps. Price leaped to marks of 22'0.25" and 44'7.50" in long and triple jump victories, while Vaughan ran a key leg on the first place 4x400 (3:28) along with individually winning a title in the 300 (35.15) and finishing as a close runner-up in the 500.
