Moving to Maryland (PG County Sportsplex, Landover)
from Virginia in its 8th year, the F.I.T. (Friends of Indoor
Track) Relays saw sizzling early season girls relay times
by Prince George's County rivals Eleanor Roosevelt
and Largo. Roosevelt 3:52.8 blew away Largo
4:00.3 in the 4x400, but Largo 1:42.3 (Eleanor Roosevelt 1:42.7)
returned the favor in the 4x200. Both races were faster than
those in the Bishop Loughlin Games in the New York Armory.
Roosevelt's 4x400 relay was led by leadoff Crystal
Anyanwu 55.3 and anchor Tiondra Ponteen
55.7. Langley VA sr Nick Crumpton had a fine
horizontal jumps double in 21-10 and 45-10. Robinson VA sr
Steve Huntzinger broke the meet shot put
record at 57-10. Garfield VA sr Tiffany Evans
threw the shot 45-2.5.

The
Rocket and The Zephyr!
SAN
DIEGO CA 12/14/02 -- In almost identical fashion, Stevens Point
WI sr Chris (the Rocket) Solinsky and Flathead Kalispell MT
soph Zoe (the Zephyr) Nelson flew to victory in the Foot Locker
Cross Country Championships national finals at Balboa Park.
Each
runner started pulling away in the third mile, sealed the victory
by handling The Hill better than anyone else, and cruised home
the last half mile with ease. Solinsky won by 20 seconds over
fellow Midwesterner Wesley Smith in 14:41, which tied for third
fastest ever on this course. The margin of victory tied Dathan
Ritzenhein for biggest margin by a Foot Locker boys winner.
The Midwest boys scored 27 points (South 44). Zoe Nelson finished
in 17:30, with Katy Trotter NJ second at 17:44. Trotter led
the Northeast girls 26 to the team title (West 43).

Rachel Wittum. Marie Lawrence 15:11

fell face first in the mud at the start and had to rally from last place
in the first mile. She had won the freshman race at the Foot Locker Midwest
regional in a time that would have placed her 6th in the seeded race to
qualify for the nationals in San Diego. Collier Lawrence,

girls are sisters, making for a happy flight back to Nevada.
