Better late than ever...here is your 2013 All-MileStat.com Boys Indoor Track & Field Team! All-MileStat.com outdoor track teams for both boys and girls to be announced within the next week.

  A list of the top returning individuals in each event among Northwest Region Region schools from last year's outdoor season and links to full returnees rankings lists in each event. Kiana Hairston leads the Osbourn Park girls squad as the region's fastest returning sprinter in the 100 (12.04) and 200 (25.14) meter dash. This past indoor season, Hairston won the Northwest Region 55 meter dash title in a 7.15 personal best clocking, while also dipping under 41 seconds in the 300 meter dash.

Since his arrival from Texas at the start of his junior year, Woodside's Aaron Worrell has continued to rise up the charts as one of the state's best in the triple jump. In his first track season at Woodside, Worrell just missed qualifying for the state indoor championships with a 10th place finish in the Eastern Region Championships. Fast forward 12 months later and Worrell has a scholarship signed to attend and compete in track & field at the University of Virginia as the top seed and favorite in the triple jump entering this weekend's VHSL Group AAA State Indoor Championships. Worrell did not wait till this indoor season to make his huge improvements.

  MileStat.com is providing on-site coverage (photos, videos, meet updates) for both days of the Virginia Tech High School Indoor Track & Field Invitational on February 1st and 2nd at the Rector Fieldhouse in Blacksburg.

  At the Bulldog Invitational this past Saturday at Liberty University, only fully automatic timing and a finish line camera could be able to determine the winner in the girls 55 meter dash as it was virtually a dead heat between four runners at the finish line between George Washington's De'ana Forbes (7.25), Heritage's Latrice Morris (7.25), Blacksburg's Alyn Carr (7.26), and E.C. Glass' Zakiya Bateman (7.27)

Hidden Valley senior Carolyn Bethel opened her indoor season in epic style with two monster PR's in a distance double of a 4:53.56 1600 and 2:52.46 1000. Her 1600 time is a US leader, while the 1000 time puts her US #2 currently, but ranks her #9 all-time in Virginia high school indoor history. The 1600 meter time for Bethel also inserts her well up on the state all-time indoor list at #13.
