Northern Region Meet Summary Feb 26, 2007

"Can I really be having this good of a meet?" That is what T.C. Williams sophomore Tynita Butts was thinking after having a breakthrough day at the Northern Region Meet improving by a foot in the long jump for a 19'00.75" win and three inches for a 5'6" regional title in the high jump. Butts also ran a PR to finish second in the 55 and placed in the 300 meter dash. (Photo by Brandon Miles)  While all the attention and excitement was focused on Robert E. Lee's Sean Holston in his quest to become the first Northern Region male athlete ever to sweep all the metric sprint events at the indoor regional championship in the 55, 300, and 500 meter dashes, which included a US #7 all-time run in the 500 on Saturday, there was certainly a full meet found at George Mason University for the Northern Region Meet which saw plenty of great team and individual battles.
