Gus Lacy Track Classic 2011

After running laps and laps around the shorter track indoor facilities throughout the winter, many of the teams and athletes competing at this past Saturday's Gus Lacy Track Classic were given an unexpected return back to indoor racing with meet management opting to move the meet into the Fork Union's Estes Athletic Center due to the severe storms which rolled through Virginia. Some adjustments had to be made to the events offered since some of events such as the 4x100, 100/110 hurdles, and 300 hurdles cannot be run on a 160 meter indoor track facility. With athletes more fit and faster in the spring, the Estes Center produced some great performances than normally seen during the winter. Western Albemarle senior Derek Armstrong punctuated this in running one of the fastest 3200 meter time ever at the facility with a 9:19.56. In the last ten years, only Kippy Keino of Fork Union at 9:20 had run as fast in the Estes Center.   Gus Lacy Track Classic Complete Results
