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.

The first annual St. Christopher\'s Mid-Atlantic Track Clash will be getting underway this Saturday at 11:00 PM at St. Christopher\'s School in their brand new 200 meter indoor track facility in Richmond. The meet is attempting to do something fairly unique from regular weekend meets in bringing high school, college, and post-collegiate athletes all together for a more inclusive, yet exclusive event with one section only finals. In only its first year, the Clash already has plenty to get track enthusiasts excited about. Four US #2 flat track times were recorded during the meet with Midlothian\'s Jason Witt in the 3200 meter run at 9:17 and Cox\'s Eddie Judge in the 1600 meter run at 4:16, while Manchester boys rolled to relay wins in the 4x200 at 1:30 and 4x400 and 3:22. More to come....

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).
