Performance list for the Southeastern Invitational to be held January 8th and 9th at the Boo Williams Sportsplex in Hampton.
Two US #1 performances were recorded on Friday at the first day of competition of the Southeastern Invitational held in Hampton's Boo Williams Sportsplex with Nansemond River's Ricky Blake leaping out to a nation's best mark of 48'2" in the triple jump, while Oscar Smith sophomore Joel Coleman blazed the nation's fastest in the 55 meter dash with his 6.36 clocking. Another super sophomore shined on Friday at Boo Williams in Great Bridge's Shakeela Saunders who went over 39 feet in the triple jump with her US #2 mark, while clocking a US #4 time of 7.06 in a 55 meter dash victory. More to come.
While the CNU Showcase was happening in Newport News this past weekend, just down the road on I-64 East was a competitive meet at the two year old Boo Williams Sportsplex in Hampton. On the first day of Southeastern Invitational, two US #1's were produced by Joel Coleman of Oscar Smith in the 55 meter dash and Ricky Blake of Nansemond River in the triple jump. The second day followed up with some more impressive performances, especially on the track from two of the Eastern Region's top female sprinters in Shakeela Saunders of Great Bridge and Monica Williams of Green Run.
