Here are the top 100 boys all-time performances from Dogwood Track Classic.

Final 2007 outdoor track rankings for the Virginia Group AA boys. Event rankings are 50 deep (or as deep as # of performances). Also in a first for MileStat.com, All-MileStat.com Teams are going to be extended to each classification (private, A, AA, and AAA). Erik Kuster (pictured right by John Herzog) of Liberty High School in Bedford has been selected field events athlete of the year among Group AA boys. Kuster won both the shot put and discus throw at the AA State Championships as he broke a 20 year old meet record with a state best throw of 179'0". The VMI bound Kuster earlier in the year against some of the state's best at the Southern Track Classic, was also a double winner in the throwing events against some AAA's best in the shot put and discus. Kuster shares athlete of the year honors with Blacksburg's Peter Dorrell. Dorrell became the first male distance runner to win all three distance races at a state championship with first place finishes in the 3200, 1600, and 800 meter races.

This weekend\'s Asics Invitational will be hosted at Liberty University\'s Tolsma Track Center in Lynchburg and will be hosted over two days on Friday and Saturday. The meet will feature four individual state leaders including the likes of Bethel\'s Shakia Forbes and Harrisonburg\'s Tim Beierle as well as the state\'s fastest 4x400 meter relay in the Osbourn Park girls. Events will start at 4:30 PM on Friday and resume again on Saturday at 9:00 AM.

The Lynchbug Area Track & Field Club Invitational hosted at the Lynchburg College Fieldhouse kicked off the high school indoor track season in the state of Virginia as the meet served as an icebreaker for many teams as well as a chance to get some of their younger runners some invitational experience. Several athletes qualified for the Group AA State Meet in their debut meet of the season, while three athletes in Atlee\'s Dana Harvey, Buffalo Gap\'s Angela Jenkins, and Heritage\'s Wayne Ferguson garnered three first place finishes. Cave Spring junior Rachel Travitz had one of the performances of the day in breaking a 11 year old meet record in the mile run.
