Week 4 of indoor track in Virginia included another US #1 performance from Sean Holston in the 300 meter dash with a 33.99 clocking at the Southern Maryland Mega Meet after posting a US #1 for 500 meters only week earlier. Other top performances included a personal best clearance from Anne Marie Gordon (pictured left) in the pole vault with a winning height of 11\'9\" at VMI\'s Keydet Invitational. Complete results, elites, and meet summaries are all posted from this past weekend\'s invites as well as video clips and photos (more to be added) from VMI.
Mills Godwin senior Anne Marie Gordon likes drama apparently. Not only is she in theatre at school, but seems to like to wait till the final attempt when clearing personal best heights in the pole vault. At last March\'s National Scholastic Indoor Championships, Gordon cleared 11\'7.25\" on her third attempt at the height. On Saturday at the Keydet Invitational, Gordon cleared a best height of 11\'9\" in similar dramatic fashion on her final attempt at the height.
