MIAMI 8/3/03 – Bianca Knight and Rannell “Speedy” Hall were named Verizon Athletes of the Meet after their performances as competition concluded at the 2003 USATF National Junior Olympic Track & Field Championships at Tropical Park. The meet is the third stop on USA Track & Field’s 2003 Verizon Youth Series.

Bianca Knight of Jackson, Mississippi won the youth girls 400m and was the runner-up in the 100m. The 14-year-old member of the Jackson Jaguars Track Club had a time of 53.87 in the 400m and 11.95 in the 100m that was the same time as the winner. On Saturday, Knight ran 23.81 to set a national youth record in winning the youth girls 200m dash bettering Angela Williams’ 24.03 set in 1994.

The 10-year-old Hall ran 25.83 to break his own record in the bantam boys 200m finals, bettering the national youth record of 25.88 he set Thursday in the second heat of the 200m preliminaries. The previous record was 26.01 by Richard Crawford of Texas set in 1996. Hall ran the anchor leg on the record breaking Metro Dade’s bantam boys 4x100m relay team in 51.63. On Saturday, the relay team ran 51.96 seconds bettering the previous mark of 52.30 by the Valley United track club set in 2002.

Trey Charles of the First Light Track Club set a national youth record in the youth boys 200m hurdles. Charles ran 23.99 bettering Chris Hickman’s time of 24.83 set in 1995. Johnny Dutch of the Junior Striders also bettered the previous record with a time of 24.49 to finish second.

The Florida Elite Track Club set a record in the youth boys 4x100m relay with a time of 43.25 bettering Boynton Beach Track Club’s 43.51 set in 2000. The Houston Heat Track Club set a national youth record in the young women’s 4x400m relay in 3:37.90 bettering the West Valley Eagles’ 3:38.83 set in July at the 2003 Youth Athletics Championships in Buffalo.

The University of South Carolina-bound Ronnetta Alexander ran 13.49 to win the young women’s 100m hurdles. The 18-year-old of the West New York Jets was just shy of Ginnie Powell’s 13.39 record set in 2001. “I was ahead early because I got out of the box first and I knew the winner would be based on who gets out first,” said Alexander. “I just tried to stay focused and clean over the hurdles,” Alexander continued. World Youth team member, Dominique Manning ran 14.19 seconds to win the intermediate girls 100m hurdles. “I hit a few hurdles that knocked me off balance to the side, but I was able to straighten myself up and finish strong at the end,” said Manning.

World Youth team member Nicole Leach ran 1:00.56 to win the intermediate girls 400m hurdles. The 16-year-old Philadelphia native had to make up for lost time after the first 200m. “I was nervous the first five or six hurdles and I wasn’t going over the hurdles very smoothly,” said Leach. “I was jumping over the hurdles rather than hurdling. I had an over stride a little bit towards the end, but I was smoother down the homestretch as I was trying to make up time (that was lost) the last 150m,” Leach continued. Atlanta native, Siera Hill’s goal was to set a new record, but she fell short in winning the young women’s 400m hurdles in 1:00.40. “I had a lot of squishing (from rain) in my shoes coming off the curve,” said Hill. “I just ran my own pattern, attacking every hurdle down the homestretch.”

The University of Florida-bound Kerron Clement’s goal was to break his own 400m hurdles record from last year. The 17-year-old native of Trinidad was thankful to repeat as the young men’s champion after running 50.13 seconds. “I could have run a 49 or 48 because I was really relaxed and paced myself from start to finish,” said Clement. “I was happy that I didn’t stutter step which I always do the last few hurdles.”

The 2003 World Youth 110m and 400m hurdles gold medalist Jason Richardson won the 110m hurdles in 13.86 seconds. “I broke my rhythm because I hit one of the hurdles pretty badly and that made me have to re-institute my snap,” said Richardson. Earlier in the morning, the Cedar Hills (Texas) High School senior claimed second in the 400m hurdles with a time of 50.90. “I am happy with my time in the race during the pouring rain,” said Richardson. “Both my contact lenses slipped below my eyes after the first hurdle. So I basically ran the last eight hurdles without any contacts,” Richardson continued. World Youth teammate Jamaal Charles won the young men’s 100m dash in 10.71 while placing second to Richardson in the young men’s 110m hurdles with a time of 13.90. Kevin Craddock of Alex Van Dyke track club won the intermediate boys 400m hurdles in 53.25.

Team USA member from the Pan American Junior Championships Elzie Coleman won the 400m in 46.67. “I just wanted to close down and hold the lead to the finish,” said Coleman. World Youth 200m bronze medalist, Cleo Tyson won the young women’s 100m in 11.79. Alexandria Anderson (11.71) and Krystin Lacy (11.73) claimed first and second in the intermediate girls 100m dash. World Youth team member Cody Harper ran 4:02.91 to claim first in the intermediate boys 1500m run.

Shauntel Elcock of the Fort Wayne Express had to overcome a migraine headache to run 53.23 seconds in winning the intermediate girls 400m dash. The 16-year-old Northridge High School junior is the 2003 Indiana 200m and 400m state champion. “I was very nervous and did not want to pull out of the race because of my headache,” said Elcock. “I picked up the pace on the curve and gave it my all the last 100 meters, I refuse to loose,” Elcock continued.

MIAMI 8/2/03 – Rannell “Speedy” Hall continued his record breaking streak in the bantam boys 200m and 4x100m relays on the fifth day at the 2003 SATF National Junior Olympic Track & Field Championships at Tropical Park. The meet is the third stop on USA Track & Field’s 2003 Verizon Youth Series.

The 10-year-old Hall ran 25.83 to break his own record in the bantam boys 200m finals, bettering the national youth record of 25.88 seconds he set Thursday in the second heat of the 200m preliminaries. The previous record was 26.01 by Richard Crawford of Texas set in 1996. Hall ran the anchor leg on the record breaking Metro Dade (Miami) track club in the fourth heat of the bantam boys 4x100m relays. Metro Dade had a time of 51.96, bettering the previous mark of 52.30 by the Valley United track club set in 2002.

Jon Allen of the NW Flyers set a record in the bantam boys 6lb shot put with his toss of 12.44m/40-9.75, bettering Kevin Bookout’s 12.16m/39-10.75 set in 1993.

World Youth Team member, Toni Aluko of Maryland cleared 1.75m/5-8.75 to win the young women’s high jump. D’Andra Carter of the Texas Throwbacks continued her winning family tradition throwing 43.71m/143-05 in the intermediate girls discus throw. Carter’s older sister Michelle broke her own national youth shot put record on Thursday en route to her win in the young women’s division.

Team USA members Alexandria Anderson and Krystin Lacy claimed first and second in the intermediate girls 200m dash. The 16-year-old, Anderson won with a time of 23.48 while teammate Lacy ran 23.61 to claim second place. “After the drive, I knew I had to pick it up because I was in third place coming around the curve,” said Anderson. “I was just focusing on trying to get ahead because I did not have the best start.”

In the young men’s 200m, Jason Craig took a winning dive at the finish line to pull an upset photo finish from World Youth team member, Michael Grant. Craig of Huber Heights, Ohio, and Grant of Georgia both clocked a time of 22.11. “I ran my own race. I tried to catch everyone before I got on the curve because I knew everyone would catch on strong at the end,” said Grant.

Cleo Tyson ran 23.63 to win the young women’s 200m dash. “My start is the weakest part of the race which is why I try to be the first one out of the curve,” said Tyson. “I kept seeing her (Loche –2nd), so I just pushed harder down the homestretch.”

Karjuan Williams of the Comets track club came from behind down the homestretch to win the intermediate boys 800m run in 1:52.83. Team USA member Cody Harper claimed second place in 1:53.07. “I never saw him (Williams) there, he just came up on me out nowhere,” said Harper. “I started out way too slow, but the first 200m was good. I got boxed in early on and felt like I was trying too hard when I’m usually relaxed,” Harper continued.

In the young women’s 800m run, 2001 World Youth team member and Seton Hall-bound Crystal Anyanwu won in 2:10.15 while 2003 World Youth team member Selena Sappleton claimed second. The 17-year-old Sappleton had a time of 2:10.56. “I tried to stay with the first person and kick with 150 meters to go,” said Sappleton. “I’m satisfied with my performance as I kept my arms open and pumped my knees high down the homestretch,” Sappleton continued.

The 5th place finisher at the 2003 Pan American Junior Championships Jennifer Reekie ran 10:28.65 to win the young women’s 3000m run. On Wednesday the 17-year-old also won the young women’s 5000m race walk.

MIAMI – National high school shot put record holder, Michelle Carter broke her own national youth record to highlight day three at the 2003 USATF National Junior Olympic Track & Field Championships at Tropical Park in Miami, Florida.

The University of Texas-bound Carter tossed 15.82m/51-11 in the young women’s shot put bettering the 15.59m/51-1.75 mark she set last year in Omaha. Earlier this month, Carter won gold in the shot put at the 2003 Pan American Junior Championship in Barbados with a toss of 16.23m/53-3. “I am satisfied with my performance because I basically wanted to beat my (national youth) record this year,” said Carter. “I did better than expected because my technique was off today.” She set a prep record last May of 16.73 meters/54 feet, 10.75 inches at the Texas State high school championships.

Rannell “Speedy” Hall of Miami set a national bantam boys record in the 200m dash. The 10-year-old ran 25.88 seconds in the second heat of the 200m preliminaries, bettering Richard Crawford’s 26.01 set in 1996. “Rannell had fun out there today, this is just the beginning for him,” said Track & Field Program Coordinator for Miami-Dade Parks and Recreation department Robin Beamon. Beamon is also the event coordinator for the meet.

Hannah Carson of the Arizona Cheetahs set a Junior Olympics bantam girls record in the javelin throw. The 2003 Youth Athletics bantam girls champion threw 33.16m/108-9 bettering the Agnes Gallegos’ 27.19m/89-2 set in 2001.

Yvette Lewis of the Norfolk Real Deal leaped 12.88m/42-3.25 to win the young women’s long jump. Fresh off her young women’s heptathlon championship, Team USA member, Gayle Hunter was the runner-up with a leap of 12.23m/40-1.50.

Gerron Herring of the K.C. Elite won the intermediate boys long jump with a leap of 7.18m/23-6.75. Francois Gatson, a Team USA member from the World Youth Championships in Canada, leaped 7.06m/23-2.00 to a runner-up finish.

The 2003 World Youth 110m and 400m hurdles champion Jason Richardson is trying something different after running a 21.13 in the young men’s 200m placing second in his heat. Michael Grant, the 2003 Verizon Athlete of the Meet from the Youth Athletics Championships in Buffalo, ran 21.19 seconds to win his heat in the young men’s to advance to the 200m finals on Saturday.

Another Team USA member from the World Youth Championships, Selena Sappleton ran 2:11.84 to place second in her heat in the young women’s 800m preliminaries. Local favorite Alondra Cooper won her heat with a time of 2:15.10 to advance to the 800m finals on Saturday.

INDIANAPOLIS- America's next generation of track & field stars will compete at the 2003 USA Track & Field Junior Olympic National Championships July 29-Aug 3 in Miami, Florida.

The third leg of the Verizon Youth Series, the six-day meet at Tropical Park Stadium will showcase more than 7,000 youth athletes from across the country in the largest youth athlete developmental program in the world.

“The Junior Olympic National Championships are a highlight for USA Track & Field each year,” said USATF CEO Craig Masback. “It is an essential part of our overall athlete development program, and has been a reliable proving ground for future Olympic greats. We thank the Miami-Dade Parks & Recreation Department for hosting this outstanding event.”

Competition age divisions and corresponding birth years for Junior Olympics are as follows: Bantam (1993-later), Midget (1991-1992), Youth (1989-1990), Intermediate (1987-1988), and Young Men/Women (1985-1986); athletes born in 1984 are also eligible if they will still be 18 on July 28, 2003.

The Junior Olympics Nationals is the largest event of the Verizon Youth Series, which includes the annual USA Junior Track & Field Championships, Youth Athletics Championships and Junior Cross Country Championships. Verizon honors male and female athletes-of-the meet at each event of the series. At the 2003 Youth Athletics Championships, July 2-6 in Buffalo, N.Y., Michael Grant (Collins Hill High School- Ga.) was the male recipient and Courtney Champion (Stephenson High School – Ga.) was the female recipient.
