Arcadia claimed to have the "Deepest" Girls 800 field in history. The Classic could arguably have the "BEST" field in history based on early entries and verbal indications. Already in are Devon Williams of Towson, Maryland (2004 National Indoor Athlete of the Year); Katie Doswell, St. Catherine's (#2 U.S. All-Time 1000) and Tameka Jameson of Eleanor Roosevelt (Greenbelt, Maryland) all have clocked 2:12 or better. That leaves at least six other Virginians capable of breaking 2:15 that have indicated they will run in the meet but have not declared which event. It is easy to project two to four top ten times coming out of that race.
The girls throws will be loaded with Kathy Howard from Lee-Davis facing Single "A" standard bearers Susan Lucas of Giles and Whitney King of Radford. And those are just the early entries!
The Bethel Girls are coming loaded up in the relays with only Mobile Meet of Champions MVP Francena McCorory in two individual events. Should be fun…. Stay Tuned!
