File photo from HamptonPirates.com   Hampton University senior Francena McCorory successfully defended her title in the 400-meter dash Saturday night at the NCAA Division I Indoor Track & Field Championships at the Randal Tyson Track Center. McCorory, the high school national indoor record holder in the 400 and 300 meter dash from her prep days at Bethel High School,  certainly has returned back to that top level from her high school glory days with her performance today. In the women's 400 meter finals, McCorory, broke a 19 year old American indoor 400 meter dash record with her NCAA and school record breaking performance of 50.54!   Also in the same meet, Queen Harrison of Virginia Tech, a product of Hermitage High School in Glen Allen, Va, went 1-2 in the women's 60 meter hurdles with her Hokie teammate Kristi Callan in a time of 7.95.  Harrison became the first female athlete from Virginia Tech to win a NCAA track title. The Virginia Tech senior was a 2008 Olympian in the Beijing Games in the women's 400 meter hurdles, which McCorory is definitely gearing up to make a run for the US Olympic team in the 2012 London Games in two years. Hampton High School graduate and current University of Miami junior Ti'erra Brown placed third in the hurdles finals against Harrison and earned All-American honors with her time of 8.08.   The George Mason University men's 4x400 meter relay placed 7th overall with a time of 3:08.50 and their entire relay is comprised of all former Virginia high school stars in Kevin Wilson from Landstown, Nick Vaughn from South Lakes, David Verburg from E.C. Glass, and Ja-Vell Bullard from Bethel.   Hampton University Press Release on Francena McCorory   Virginia Tech Press Release on Queen Harrison
