The state of Virginia surely made it\'s presence felt at the fifth annual Nike Indoor Championships, held at the Prince George County\'s Sports and Learning Complex. Over the two day contested national meet, seven national titles and dozens of All-American medals were brought home by Virginians.

While the state of Virginia clearly has some individuals and relays that have national title winning and All-American placing potential on the male side for this weekend\'s Nike Indoor Championship, the same holds true for the female side of the coin.

Form does not always hold true in track and field but certainly did this past Saturday as the Eastern Region put forth a dominating performance at the AAA championships at the GMU Fieldhouse. In a couple of early season meets in December, the CNU Showcase in Newport News and the Metro Run and Walk Invitational in Prince George's MD, teams from the Tidewater area sent an early season message with particularly strong showings.

A handful of Virginia teams including Deep Creek, West Springfield, Great Bridge, and Western Branch ventured south to compete at the Easter Challenge at the University of North Carolina\'s year old indoor track facility.

LANDOVER, MD - Many of the top Northern Region teams as well as a few from other parts of Virginia are venturing across the Potomac River to compete in this weekend\'s Montgomery Invitational at the Prince George County\'s Sports and Learning Complex against some strong out of state competition.

West Springfield\'s Huma Husain at the Metro Run & Walk Invitational, showed exactly why she is one of the top middle distance runners in the state as she finished second in the 800 meter run on Friday with a 2:18.87 and then won the 1000 meter run on Saturday with a state best time of 3:00.53 to earn athlete of the week honors.
