5A boys - 5A girls
5A girls featured Erin Bedell, who doubled 800-1600 two hours apart; Brandi Cross, who was startled by her time in the 400 meters (52.46, a Texas state meet record and 2005 US#1), and Skyline Dallas, which doubled in the 4x100 and 4x200 relays en route to the team championship.

Cinco Ranch Katy defends its Texas 5A boys title
Cinco Ranch Katy anchor Queito Teasley catches Eisenhower Houston in the home stretch to win the 4x200 relay for 20 of the points needed for Cinco Ranch to repeat as Texas 5A champion. This was a showdown of the three fastest 4x200 squads in the US. Cinco Ranch won in 1:25.19, a couple ticks off their US#1 time in the Texas Relays, Eisenhower Houston was second in 1:25.31 US#2 and Carter Dallas was third in 1:25.41 US#3. Cinco Ranch was without its usual #2 runner, multi event star Scott Sellers, who pulled a hamstring in the triple jump and had to retire for the evening without competing in the high jump, where he is US#1 for the last 2 years, and in two relays.

"Running is my boyfriend."
"I want to run for the rest of my life. When I see people 90 years old finishing a 5K, I think that's the coolest thing. I can't wait until I do that."

NIKE GHAC RELAYS
the hottest meet in high school track and field -- virtually |
|
by John DyeNike and DyeStat announce the NIKE GHAC RELAYS, a new way for high school track and field teams to compete with other schools from across the country -- without leaving home. In the �postal relays� of old, coaches would have their team run a time trial, drop the results in the mail, and�a few weeks later�find out how they ranked. Now, Nike and DyeStat are using online technology to create a modern version of that idea. And instead of just one event, the GHAC Relays consists of 10 events across all track and field disciplines. The best teams will have balance. You can't win the GHAC Relays with just a couple of studs in a couple of events. Each team's best performance in each event will be scored decathlon style with a formula that gives 1000 points for a national record level performance and 700 points for the DyeStat Elite top 100 cutoff standard. The team score is the sum of the 10 event scores. An online scoreboard will let you slice and dice the scores any way you like. Prizes and surprises await the best teams.

| Steve (steveu) Underwood says: "God On The Starting Line is a wonderful gift to the world of prep distance running. It's kind of like eating, oh, a premium triple chocolate fudge brownie ice cream sundae. You might feel stuffed and a little woozy, but like you've never devoured anything so delicious." |
