Check out the Virginia boys' all-time performances at McAlpine Park.

Here are the top 1,000 times from Great Meadow's non-state course.

Photo by Andy Paisley The Beach District boys' race should look something like this year. Not too different from last year with a  Kellam runner running way out in front then followed by a pack of Ocean Lakes harriers. Bobby Peavey of Kellam should easily defend his district title, while also looking ahead to bigger wins at the regional and state meet. He will be more interested at the district meet if his team can give the defending team champions from Ocean Lakes a scare. The Dolphins return a potent top three in Drew Paisley, Conor Doan, and Seth Cunningham, but also had four graduations from their 2007 top seven. Meanwhile, Kellam returns their entire top 6 from a district runner-up squad last year. The Ocean Lakes girls could possibly have a perfect score at the district meet with the top four returnees from last year's race including All-State cross country runner Stacey Nobles. Landstown's Stephanie Frenchik could stop those plans of a top 5 sweep though as she really improved during the track season with a 3200 best of 11:22 as well as running on the state champion 4x800 meter relay.

Octavia Rinehardt was running so smooth and effortlessly Thursday afternoon that it looked like she was taking a stroll through the park. Rinehardt, a Tallwood senior, was running in Bells Mill Park, but she was far from strolling. No, she was dominating as she breezed around the course in a personal-best time of 18 minutes, 18.10 seconds to win her first Eastern Region cross country title. “I just wanted to run my race and go for a good time more than anything,” said Rinehardt, who won by 25 seconds.

The Beach District Meet on Wednesday will have the Ocean Lakes boys and girls going for another sweep of the team titles, while the Eastern Region's top runners in Bobby Peavey of Kellam and Octavia Rinehardt (pictured right by John Herzog) of Tallwood are capable of putting up course record times at Sportsplex Park in Virginia Beach. There is a strong chance that three of the Beach District champions will be the Eastern Region champions next Thursday at Bells Mill Park in Chesapeake with the Ocean Lakes boys, Peavey, and Rinehardt.
