Red-clad Trotwood-Madison High School of Trotwood, Ohio, competing here as the Waggoner Raiders, led wire-to-wire en route to the first boys' title at the 2008 Nike Outdoor Nationals.
Chris Burrows, Donte Lyons, Derricus Purdy and Mike Shaw finished in 1:25.18, the season's second-fastest prep performance. The squad's previous best was 1:25.44. Second was South Lakes High School (Reston, VA) in 1:26.42, with Eastern Hills High (Fort Worth, TX) third in 1:27.51. Trotwood-Madison's lineup consisted of four seniors, who weren't completely satisfied with the first-place finish.
“It's good to win it, I guess,” said Purdy, who handed off to Shaw, “but people still don't respect us. We were expected to win, but we were looking for Team Texas. They beat us [at the 2007 NON], so we were looking to beat them this year.”
Shaw said he and his teammates switched focus when they learned Team Texas wasn't back this year. “When we found out they weren't here we just focused on breaking records,” he said. “Every time we run we tell the first guy to stay with the pack. When he does that, we know we have it. When Donte began to pull out in front, we knew that was it.”
Shaw, a University of Michigan football recruit, is one of the top entries in Friday's 100 meter event.

Sophomore Afia Charles had her problems noting the track markings. But her Blazin’ Raiders of Eleanor Roosevelt High, Greenbelt, Md. still held on to win in 1:36.95.
It wasn’t easy but the Raiders (running with Elan Hilare, Doris Anyanwu, Tasha Stanley and Charles) did hang in to defeat Skyline of Texas, a very close second in 1:37.05, with
Oak Ridge, Tennessee (1:38.39) nosing out Withrow of Cincinnati (1:38.89) and Brooklyn’s Boys and Girls High (1:38.96) in the 3-4-5 battle.
Anyanwu’s a junior and Charles is a sophomore, but seniors Hilare (bound for Southern California) and Stanley (headed for North Carolina-Chapel Hill) are ready to make their marks in the collegiate ranks.
“I was focused on the wrong exchange zone,” said Charles. “So when I was running to try to get the baton I heard somebody say ‘Afia look out.’ I knew it could cost me because in the last 100 meters I saw the other girl’s hand behind me. Thankfully, I finished strong and it was the last 10 meters of the track that meant the difference. If it had been a longer race, I don’t know what would have happened. I just wanted to run relax. I kept hearing Doris (Anyanwu) yell ‘run relaxed, run relaxed.’ Usually when someone challenges me, I lose form because I start being tense. I wanted to keep my shoulders down and run hard to victory.”
Early heats went to the Beastly Wolverines (1:42.74), the Blazin ‘ Raiders B team (1:40.28) and Booker T. Washington (1:41.28.)
