Wally Gilbert Invitational 2007

Plenty of teams are talking about being the best team in the state. The Manchester boys are proving they are one of the best teams in the state on the track. Despite missing one of the top returning middle distance runners in Andrew Duty as Duty suffered a stress fracture at the end of the cross country season, the Manchester boys look to have the ingredients for a powerful punch this season at Saturday\'s Wally Gilbert Invitational in Lynchburg. Meanwhile, a total of nine state best performances were put up throughout the day including a 1:31.10 4x200 meter relay from Manchester.

To some of you, Wally Gilbert, is just the name of a track meet held each year at Heritage High School in Lynchburg, Virginia. However, I had the pleasure of getting up close and personal with the man, Wally Gilbert, and I can tell you he is much more than just a name.
