Many athletes from the past 2010 outdoor season rose high on the MileStat.com Era (December 200h through present day) All-Time Top 50 list. The list only includes FAT performances from invitational or championship meets. 2010 season performances on lists are highlighted in BOLD.   Long jump state record holder and IAAF World Juniors qualifier Justin Hunter of Ocean Lakes is ranked first in both the high jump and long jump as well as second in the triple jump. Darrell Wesh clocked the second fastest in the 100 meter dash behind Olympic 400 meter dash gold medalist Lashawn Merritt, while Isaiah Simmons and Kyle Fortney both earned #2 all-time marks in the throws.   Albemarle's Anthony Kostelac now sits third behind some all-time greats in the middle distance events with Alan Webb and Richard Smith in the 800 while ranked behind Webb and Bobby Lockhart in the 1600 meter run. Blacksburg's 7:44.15 4x800 performance at the New Balance Nationals ranks them behind national record holders Albemarle, a South Lakes relay with Webb and Smith, and Group AAA state meet record holders Midlothian.     MileStat.com Era All-Time Outdoor T&F Boys Top 50 List
