TJ Graham NC 21.38, Ashton Purvis CA 23.43



Graham adjusts nicely to banked track

by Matt Soja, DyeStat correspondent

North Carolina's TJ Graham did not run an indoor 200 meters this winter before last weekend, but he had clocked a 34.43 300m (US #3), so it was not a surprise when posted a speedy 21.58 in the trials to become the top seed for Sunday's final. Justin Murdock from Maryland ran a mere three hundredths of a second slower, so it promised to be a close battle for the gold. The big upset was that New York's Mike Abelard, who had run the country's second fastest time this winter (21.50), failed to qualify for the seeded heat of the three-section final, running only a 22.02.

On Sunday, Abelard won the second heat easily in 21.65, and he had to wait to find out if Graham and others bested that mark in the top section. Unsurprisingly, Graham flew around the track to win by a huge margin in 21.38, with Texan Shaquille Tubman in second in 21.61. Abelard and Murdock tied for third with identical times from different heats.

Graham's time was US#2 this winter, only 0.01 second behind Markus Henderson's national leader.

The Raleigh senior said this was his first 200m on a banked track, so he had some trouble adjusting his technique. He added, "yesterday in the prelims I ran in lane 6 and did not know the rail was so close, but today I was more used to it." Although he wanted to break 21 seconds, he was happy with his national crown. This is his second year of running track and the first serious indoor season. He will go to North Carolina State, where he will play football and run track in the spring, adding, "I can handle both sports."

Graham also competed in the 60m dash, posting the third fastest time in Saturday's semifinals (6.80) but finished a slightly disappointing sixth in Sunday's final.His sister Ariah, an 8th-grader, took third in the middle school 400m dash in 58.24, so speed certainly runs in the Graham family.
Purvis blows away talented field

by Tony Jones, Illinois PrepTopTimes, a DyeStat site

1. Ashton Purvis So. San Jose 23.43
2. Candyce McGrone Sr. Indianapolis, IN 23.79
3. Chalonda Goodman Jr. Newnan, GA 23.80

Summary: Purvis won going away in arguably the most talented field of the meet. Purvis once again broke her sophomore record (previously 23.54A). The race wasn’t even close as the younger Purvis (older sister Julian) exploded like a rocket around the two-turn banked track and into the history books again.

McGrone surprised the talented but indoor inexperienced Goodman with a lean at the finish line for second. Texan speedster Erica Alexander placed 4th in 24.14.

Victoria Jordan (TX), who was expected to contend for the title, had a bad start and finished last in the championship heat and 12th overall in 24.59.

As mentioned earlier, the field was loaded. All twelve finalists finished under 24.60.
