Three girls from Virginia competed last night in the New Balance Collegiate Invitational elite high school girls 1000 meter run. While competing unattached, Midlothian's Skylar Evans and Marie Johnston along with Audrey Batzel of Ocean Lakes, were pulled along in a loaded field to Virginia top 20 all-time performances. Batzel, competing again next weekend at the Armory in the Millrose Games mile, was the top finisher from Virginia with a VA #7 all-time performance of 2:53.05 for sixth place in the race. Batzel was closely followed in by Midlothian senior Skylar Evans in seventh place with a VA #8 all-time run of 2:53.38. Marie Johnston's old sister, Paige is #4 on the VA all-time list at 2:51.05, and she still has a year to close in on Paige's time after her VA #16 effort of 2:54.68 on Friday night. Midlothian coach Stan Morgan currently has coached four of the 16 fastest girls at 1000 meters in Virginia high school history with #4 Paige Johnston (2:51.08 - 2008), #8 Skylar Evans (2:53.38), #9 Kathleen Lautzenheiser (2:53.58), and #16 Marie Johnston (2:54.68).
