Video clips from the 2007 St. Christopher\'s Mid-Atlantic Track Clash held at St. Christopher\'s School in Richmond, Virginia on Saturday, February 3rd. More clips to be added on Monday.
Robert E. Lee\'s Sean Holston nearly took down a long standing 300 meter national record of 33.19 set in 1986 by clocking a US #2 all-time 300 meter performance of 33.21 at the College Games in New York! The time this weekend now makes Holston the fastest Virginian prep ever the event surpassing now US #6 all-time Lashawn Merritt at 33.51. Meanwhile, Fork Union\'s Axel Mostrag won the junior 1000 meter run at the Collegiate Games over a loaded high school field in a US #9 all-time performance of 2:26.11. National record holder Alan Webb is the only Virginian prep ever to run faster for 1000 meters. Photos to left of Holston and Mostrag by David Fleenor. At the St. Christopher\'s Mid-Atlantic Track Clash, the track facility proved itself to be one of the fastest 200 meter flat tracks in the country with the performances turned in. There were a total of four US #2 flat track times recorded with Midlothian\'s Jason Witt in the 3200 meter run (9:17.57), Cox\'s Eddie Judge in the 1600 meter run (4:16.28), and the Manchester boys in the 4x200 (1:30.60) and 4x400 (3:22.44) meter relays.

It is hard to imagine that 24 years ago, Alisa Harvey set the VHSL AAA State Meet record for 1600 meters at 4:50 in Newport News while competing for Thomas Jefferson High School (Alexandria). Now at age 41, Harvey is still racing and running a 4:50 mile as the World and American indoor masters record holder in the event. The mother of two will be one of the featured athletes in the college and open divisions at the first annual St. Christopher\'s Mid-Atlantic Track Clash in Richmond, Virginia. MileStat.com\'s Brandon Miles was able to interview one of Virginia\'s greatest female distance runner at any competitive level (high school, college, professional, or masters).
