Region B Championships 2008

With the impressive times that come consistently from the larger AAA and AA division in Virginia State track, the A group is often pushed to the back of people’s minds.  Clarke County High senior, Ben Veilleux, however has proven this year that the smaller division A is still capable of producing runners that can compete on the highest level, and in a lot of cases, come out on top.

George Mason was able to knock off the defending district, regional, and state champions by a thin 2 point margin. The Region B Championships on Wednesday at Panorama Farms figures to have another small margin of victory with the Clarke County girls hungry to avenge their district loss.
