Albuquerque is a mile high city and high ranking preps abound in the GSW entries. There are two national record holders, 8 national leaders this season, 7 US#2 performers, and numerous state champs. The national record holders are local hero Curtis Beach (decathlon 7909) and Mason Finley CO (discus 236-6).
New Bern boys vs. sub-47 all star team!
New Bern NC's stellar 4x400 relay, which set a national record indoors (3:13.06) earlier this year, will shoot for the outdoor record (3:07.40 by Hawthorne CA in 1985) in the closing event Saturday night June 6. Meet director John Haaland announced that he has assembled an all-star squad of one-lap burners to help New Bern go all out. The all stars are: Tavaris Tate MS, 400m national leader (45.71), Clayton Parros NJ (46.63), Andre Carter GA (46.85) and Markus Wheaton AZ (46.80) - that adds up to 3:05.95, quite a rabbit. The National Scholastic Sports Foundation will assist with the all-star team's travel expenses under its ongoing program to help elite athletes travel to national meets, Clayton Parros is thrilled to join US "Dream Team."
GSW has risen from regional to national significance over the years. Athletes from the core states (AZ, CO, KS, MO, NV, NM, OK, TX and UT) are joined by top competitors from the rest of the country. This year's meet is affected by the swine flu scare, which caused the Texas state meet to be postponed to the same weekend as GSW. Also, the California state meet is the same weekend this year. Some of the top athletes will be missing, but there will still be plenty of elite competition. |
