SE #1 - Midlothian VA (Next Meet: Central Region Meet 11/4)

After taking an over four week lay off from racing after finishing third in the Nike Race of Champions at Great American, the Nike Team Nationals Southeast #1 ranked team from Midlothian needed to show they are still the team to beat with plenty of criticism from teams ranked below them of hiding from the competition. While Midlothian has traditionally held a stranglehold on the Dominion District as this year was their eighth consecutive district title, the team performance they put up was nonetheless impressive when comparing historically to past great Midlothian teams and runners. The results were clear that this is the best Midlothian boys team ever and they have been doing some serious training since Great American.

The Trojans were led to victory by junior Jason Witt, who successfully defended his individual district title with a course record time of 15:46. The course record had been previously held by his older brother Ryan, an All-State runner and Foot Locker South Senior race champion and record holder.

While two solid individuals in Manchester's Andrew Duty (2nd, 16:13) and James River's Charlie Schmitt (3rd, 16:26) came in between Witt and his fellow teammates, the rest of them did not take long to come in after Schmitt with five Midlothian runners finishing within a 12 second span with Mark Merritt (4th, 16:33), Tommy Reese (5th, 16:34), Jonathan Mellis (6th, 16:36), Michael Hammond (7th, 16:37), and Thomas Cole (8th, 16:45). Midlothian averaged 16:18 on the Pocahontas State Park 5K course, which is 40 seconds faster than they averaged on the same course last year at the district meet. Midlothian went onto finish a close third in the AAA race at the VHSL State Meet and five points away from a state championship. Their team averaged 23 seconds faster per runner from Pocahontas to Great Meadows with a 16:24 team average.

Projected State Times

Jason Witt      15:46 - :23 = 15:23
Mark Merritt 16:33 - :23 = 16:10
Tommy Reese 16:34 - :23 = 16:11
Jonathan Mellis 16:36 - :23 = 16:13
Michael Hammond 16:37 - :23 = 16:14
Thomas Cole 16:45 - :23 = 16:22
Michael Rogers 17:14 - :23 = 16:51

In comparision to recent great Midlothian squads, this team stands above the rest. Midlothian only had two runners (16:13, 16:20) under 17 minutes last year at the district meet at Pocahontas prior to finishing five points away from a AAA state championship. In Midlothian's 2003 state champion season, Midlothian only had three runners (16:01, 16:08, 16:32) under 17 minutes. In 2002, Midlothian had four runners under 17 minutes (16:20, 16:23, 16:51, 16:56) on a team that nearly upset a nationally ranked Thomas Jefferson S&T team.

The common course for districts is great to get a read on the Midlothian team because it will not be the same case for the regional meet for the top ranked team in the state and Southeast region as the Central Region's home course at Pole Green has been somewhat altered and times have shown so far from Wednesday meets and weekend invites that the new course is running faster than the old one. Midlothian had averaged 7 seconds faster at the regional meet last year at Pole Green from districts though.

However, times and course comparisions can be thrown out of the window as Midlothian will be getting a major test from Southeast #3 ranked Hermitage, who are the defending Central Region champions.

SE #2 - Chapel Hill NC (Next Meet: NCHsAA State Meet 11/4)

After heavy rainfall on Friday, which made the course at SAS Park at least 20 seconds slower and wind gusts up to 20 mph on Saturday, the Chapel Hill boys took care of business in probably the most competitive region in North Carolina at the NCHSAA 4A Mideast Regional. Chapel Hill defeated one of the top ranked teams in the state in 4A #4 ranked Broughton of Raleigh by 28 points with a team average of 16:33 and five finishers in top 12.

Conditions were definitely less ideal than the last time Chapel Hill ran on the SAS Park 5K course back on September 16th at the adidas Raleigh Invite. Chapel Hill averaged 16:32 to win the adidas meet with 4A Mideast Regional third-place finishing team Enloe taking second with a 17:08 average. Enloe averaged 17:04 at the regional meet.

While many runners had a tough time dropping their times at SAS in the conditions, Chapel Hill sophomore Taylor Gilland was able to drop 13 seconds from his adidas victory to win his regional cross country title in a time of 15:50 as he was three seconds ahead of Enloe's Nick Graw. Joining Gilland as an All-Region performer were teammates Jack Marshall 94th, 16:36), Peter Anderson (6th, 16:40), Kent Pecora (10th, 16:45), and Miles Rampel (12th, 16:53). Marshall and Anderson were also able to drop their times from the September invite at SAS as Marshall posted a 16:53 on September 16th, while Anderson was 22 seconds faster from his 17:02 at the adidas Invite. Chapel Hill's second and third team finishers at the adidas Invite in Miles Rampel and Kent Pecora were slower on Saturday with Rampel 42 seconds slower from 16:11 clocking at SAS earlier in the season and Pecora 10 seconds slower from a 16:35 at adidas.

SE #3 - Hermitage VA (Next Meet: Central Region Meet 11/4)

While most districts had their championship meets on Wednesday and Thursday on ideal racing days throughout the state, Hermitage raced in the Colonial District Meet on Saturday after heavy rainfall on Friday and encountered strong winds during the weekend race. The conditions to a degree as only two Hermitage harriers in race champion John Vial (16:15) and district runner-up Nathan Puckett (16:40) were able to dip under 17 minutes on a new Pole Green Park course, which some feel the course is running faster than the old. However, the bigger test of that question will be answered at Saturday's Central Region Meet. Vial was certainly stronger than his 2005 district race in which he finished eighth in 17:02 and his final time of 16:15 was eight seconds faster than Pole Green best from last year's Central Region Meet. Meanwhile, Puckett maintained his same district runner-up finish from last year, but was 20 seconds slower.

Slightly different courses and definitely different conditions, Hermitage averaged 16 seconds slower from the 2005 Colonial District Meet. However, Hermitage was one point better in their team score at 34 points, but the margin of victory was smaller with Freeman 20 points behind this year, while Maggie Walker was a distant 51 points behind in second last year. There is no doubt that Freeman is a solid team and stands an excellent chance at qualifying out of the Central Region this Saturday, but Hermitage definitely did not have their best day and could have had a more dominant showing at their district meet. The team that beat Brentsville at Disney was not all there on Saturday.

While Vial ran a great race to separate himself from not only the field but also increased the team time spread, the gap of 1:11 was the largest Coach Joe Pardue has seen out of his season all season. At Disney, the time gap for Hermitage was 54 seconds. Hermitage needs Vial as a legitimate front runner against the other top teams in the state, but also needs their back pack to move up as Vial moves up as Ben Hendrick (8th, 17:16), Walter Kidd (11th, 17:25), and Kieran Lee (12th, 17:26) have all had better races this season than districts.

Next week Hermitage faces Midlothian in a big clash for the Central Region title. Hermitage is the defending regional champions and Midlothian has a history of poor showings at Pole Green for the regional meet. Midlothian has only won the Central Region title on one occassion since the meet moved from Bandy Field to Pole Green in 2001 with their 2002 squad. On two occassions, Midlothian has finished second at the regional meet and then go onto to be the region's highest finisher representative at the state meet with a state championship in 2003 and third place finish last year. Another advantage for Hermitage will be the fact they have raced on the modified Pole Green course a few times this season, while it will be the first time for Midlothian on the new course. As unpredictable as the regular season was, the championship season expects to be even more so with teams flip flopping each week.

SE #4 - Brentsville VA (Next Meet: Region II Meet 11/3)

After suffering a narrow one point defeat at Disney to Hermitage and jeopardizing their Nike Team Nationals hopes, Brentsville returned stronger than ever at the start of the championship season at the Northwestern District Meet held at Kernstown Battlefield in Winchester. Coach Rob Dulin's boys put up their best team performance of the year as they dominated a very tough AA district. Brentsville the top three places individual with district champion Adam Henken clocking a 15:44 personal best and being followed to the line by teammates Henry Melius (2nd, 16:05) and Ray Delgado (3rd, 16:13). It was especially a big performance for Delgado, who had been underperforming prior to the district race, but it appears Brentsville has their big front three running at their best making them a tough team for any team in the state to beat. Luke Watts also had an exceptional race as the team's fourth finisher in sixth with a personal best of 16:25 to give Brentsville four of the top six finishers. Brentsville senior Andrew Johnson rounded out the team's scoring in 11th place at 16:45. The team's top five averaged 16:15 on the 5K course.

Unfortunately, the 2006 Northwestern District Meet course is not held at the same venue as the 2005 meet, so state meet time projections are tough to project accurately without any time differences between team averages. However, looking at the quality of runners in which the Brentsville runners finished ahead of is pretty convincing evidence that this team is much better than shown at Disney as well as their three earlier showdowns with top ranked Midlothian. Brentsville had three runners ahead of the defending AA 1600 meter outdoor champion in Ryan Witt, who earned All-State honors in 2005 state cross country meet with an eighth place finish.

It was the tighest the time spread has been all season for Brentsville after having a 1:20 gap at Great American and 1:18 gap at Disney, the team dropped it down with 1:01 gap between their top five at the district meet. The improvement should be noted. The front runner for Brentsville in Henken certainly did not slow it down for his teammates to catch up as he ran 22 seconds faster than the winning time from the Judges Classic held on the same course in mid September posted by Clarke County senior and defending Group A state champion Simon Biddle-Snead. Midlothian and Chapel Hill better watch out! Brentsville is coming on strong!

SE #7 - Jamestown VA (Next Meet: Region I Meet 11/2)

Nike Team Nationals Southeast #6 ranked Jamestown rolled through their district meet on the 3.05 mile course found at Eastern State Hospital in Williamsburg, Virginia. The impressive stat of the meet for them was having three runners under 16 minutes with district champion Andrew Colley at 15:37, Andrew Mearns in fourth at 15:48, and John Holt in fifth at 15:57. A good measuring stick is seeing how they stack up to the past great Jamestown teams in 2000 and 2001, which finished as AA state runners-up in 2000 and AA state champions in 2001. The 2001 Jamestown team came out on top in the combined state meet scoring and ended the season ranked #6 in the Southeast region by Marc Bloom in The Harrier national rankings.

The Eagles averaged 16 seconds faster than they did 2005 at the Bay Rivers District Meet at Eastern State Hospital, which a significant improvement was needed as the team scene in AA will be more competitive than ever as Brentsville and Western Albemarle looked impressive in district wins as well. With only one senior in their top seven, the Jamestown team is probably a year away from possibly becoming the best team in the state. However, Coach Howard Townsend's boys showed at the Maymont Festival in taking second to current SE #2 Chapel Hill of North Carolina and finishing ahead of almost all the top teams in the state that they do not have to wait till 2007 and this year could be their year.

SE # 8 - Fort Mill SC (Next Meet: South Carolina State Championships 11/4)

Last year, Fort Mill won a dramatically close regional meet over eventual South Carolina 4A state champion on a sixth runner tie-breaker. Their regional title this year was won a big more convinciningly at the Region III-4A Meet as Fort Mill had four of the top five finishers with a team average of 16:03 to win by 12 points over Northwestern.

Fort Mill raced at full strength for the first time since the Wendy's Invitational when they nearly upset SE #2 Chapel Hill and showed how tough they can be when they are running at all cylinders. Northwestern's Stuart McDaniel took the individual title in 15:31, but it was all Fort Mill after that with David Huckaby (2nd, 15:34), Mark Blackmon (3rd, 15:57), Travis Owens (4th, 16:06), and David Willis (5th, 16:07). Fort Mill's entire top seven was under 17 minutes with Josh Mabry (10th, 16:35), Daniel Kalshoven (11th, 16:42), and Ryan Fielden (13th, 16:57) all finishing within the top 15 places. The team had a time spread of 1:01 with their top five.

Fort Mill will be heavy favorites to win the 4A state title next week at Sandhills Research Park in Columbia, South Carolina as they simply manhandled the defending state champions at regionals.

SE # 9 - West Springfield VA (Next Meet: Northern Region Meet 11/2)

The Spartans of West Springfield won last year's Patriot District Meet by a fairly close margin of ten points over West Potomac. The same two teams were the top two finishers in the district again, but this time by a much wider margin of 54 points. Coach Vic Kelbaugh's boys averaged 12 seconds faster from 2005 with four of the top six finishers in always competitive Patriot District. Team leader Mike Spooner, who recently verbally committed to run for the Vols next fall at the University of Tennessee, ran seven seconds better at 14:51 to successfully defend his district title. Meanwhile, the next three finishers for West Springfield ran well also as they put four runners under 16 minutes with Alex Martis (3rd, 15:38), Leo Walker (5th, 15:52), and Loring Ross (6th, 15:53).

The issue continues to remain if West Springfield's fifth runner will be good enough for them to hold off teams with seven runners they can put in front of the Spartans' fifth finisher. Alex Kingsley (17th, 16:31) and Tom Crompton (18th, 16:35). In comparison to other top teams in the region as they head into Thursday's Northern Region Meet at Burke Lake Park, Oakton had all seven runners run faster than Kinglsey at their district meet at Burke Lake, while Thomas Jefferson had six runners. While their district meets were ran on different days, weather and course conditions were not significantly different.

West Springfield averaged 43 seconds slower at the state meet last year from districts, but doing the math it does not make sense that Mike Spooner runs seven seconds from last year's district meet, but is projected to run nine seconds slower than the state course. It is almost a given that better and faster runners have less time differences going from faster or shorter courses to slower or longer courses. The 43 seconds probably has more accurate application to the team's probable fifth runners in either Kingsley or Crompton, which could be an area of concern as times of 17:14 and 17:18 last year would add on at least 50 points to any team's score. Not as bad as last year's 80 points that were added on to West Springfield's team score at states from their fifth runner, but puts great pressure on all of their top four runners to come through and keep the overall team score under 100 points to keep them in the state title hunt.

Champions never go down easy and Coach Phil Tiller's defending AAA state champion Oakton boys showed at the Concorde District Cross Country Championships that they have a team who will in contention for another state ring once again.

Oakton averaged 15:41 on the Burke Lake Park 2.98 mile course and finished 29 points ahead of Robinson to defending their district title from a year ago. Oakton averaged 15:35 as a team in the 2005 district race, but it is easy for your average to be lower when you are led by two All-State and Foot Locker All-South performers in James Phillips and Matt Kroetch. Oakton has shown themselves to be one of the deepest teams in the state this fall as they have a roster of contributors that extends beyond their top seven. The case was apparent at the Glory Days Grill Invitational when they had two runners in the varsity B race running under 17 minutes for 5K. However, they have lacked the firepower up front to compete with some of the other top ranked teams in the state such as Midlothian with Jason Witt, Brentsville with Adam Henken and West Springfield with Mike Spooner.

After their district meet performance, Oakton may still not have a runner to knock heads with runners of that caliber, but definitely have several runners moving up to match up well with the other top teams' runners past the number one runner. Oakton junior Joe Lorusso and senior Matt Saunders came up big at Burke Lake as the top two finishers in the race and ahead of one of the state's top runner distance runners in Ermin Mjuezinovic (3rd, 15:31) of Herndon with Burke Lake bests of 15:15 and 15:18 respectively. And the truth is that Oakton could have three runners up there as senior Alex Nissen had an off day finishing fifth in 15:50. Nissen had finished only a second behind Lorusso at Glory Days when both runners posted 5K personal bests of 16:09 (Lorusso) and 16:10 (Nissen) respectively. Especially looking ahead to the state meet against a favored Midlothian team, Oakton will need these three runners to key in on Midlothian's second runner Mark Merritt and try to finish in between Witt and Merritt.

Last year, the Oakton crew ran an average of 45 seconds slower from their district meet at Burke Lake to the state meet at Great Meadows. Based off their district meet performance, Oakton would then have had six runners under 17 minutes at states, but front running would still have to be an issue with the top projected time of Lorusso at 16:10. Last year, 16:14 was the cutoff time for All-State in AAA. If Oakton can get at least one of their guys in the top 15 at states and then another two not far behind, the defending state champions could be in good position.

SE Bubble - Thomas Jefferson S&T (Next Meet: Northern Region Meet 11/2)

Since moving over from the Concorde District last year, Thomas Jefferson definitely has had an easier going in their new district as they have not had to face teams of the quality as of Oakton yet within the Liberty District. In 2005 at the Liberty District Meet, Thomas Jefferson tallied a low 19 points with a team average of 15:59 and this year put up 25 points with a six second drop in their team average at 15:53.

It is interesting to note while Oakton and West Springfield averaged 45 and 43 seconds slower respectively from districts to the state meet, but Thomas Jefferson had only ran 30 seconds slower on average. Possible reasons could be that Oakton and West Springfield have to race harder in their district meets with greater team competition, while Thomas Jefferson can cruise more so through their district meet or just Thomas Jefferson improved more from districts to states. However, looking more closely at the results, the big difference had to have been All-State runner Brian Landry missing the district meet last year, but racing at states to help improve their team average significantly. Without Landry, Thomas Jefferson averages 16:55 at the state meet with their first five finishers and averages 55 seconds slower from districts to states.

Based off times run by other top runners in the region at Burke Lake during districts week, one could argue Thomas Jefferson's top finisher Paul Norland probably had a lot more left in the tank as he successfully defended his Liberty district title with a time of 15:28. However, Norland's time was 20 seconds faster than his 2005 winning time. Norland was the final All-State finisher in AAA last November in 15th place at Great Meadows. Thomas Jefferson senior teammate Richard Prevost also duplicated his 2005 district finish taking runner-up once again and 19 seconds faster at 15:31. Prevost has been the Ray Delgado for Thomas Jefferson this fall as both runners had been expected to be solid front runners for their teams but had not been running at the levels as expected. Prevost had told teammate Norland before the district race that the season starts now and the statement could not be more true and Prevost has started the championship season off strong.

Thomas Jefferson is still not a team at full strength. Top finisher Brian Landry has been out all season with injury and one of their top five runners in Aiden McHugh missed Glory Days and districts due to injury.

SE Bubble - Western Albemarle VA (Next Meet: Region II Meet 11/3)

While missing one of their top runners in Will Massie for the second consecutive meet, Coach Lindy Bain's Western Albemarle boys were 10 seconds on average faster than their 2005 performance at the Jefferson District Meet. Western is going to need Massie back healthy and running well for them to pose any challenge to Brentsville with Ray Delgado especially starting to run at top form for the defending AA state champs. Western has two runners that can definitely break into the top 15 at states to earn All-State honors and give them front running team representatives in sophomores Kyle Satterwhite and James Howard-Smith. Satterwhite won his first district title as he posted a fine time of 16:17 on the Panorama Farms 5K course. Meanwhile, Howard-Smith was third in the race in a time of 16:31 as Louisa County sophomore Thomas Baker (2nd, 16:26) broke up the two Warriors.

Western Albemarle averaged 16 seconds faster from districts to states last year. Based off projections, the Warriors look to have at least five runners capable of running under 17 minutes at the state meet as they had four at Panorama on Wednesday with Satterwhite, Howard-Smith, Post (5th, 16:57), and Carlos Gomez (6th, 16:58). Take into account if Massie returns and Tyler Stutzman runs closer to his 16:51 best from the Albemarle Invite versus his 17:11 at the Jefferson District Meet, Western Albemarle could potential have all seven runners under 17 minutes at the state meet. Western Albemarle had all 7 runners in the top 11 at the district meet, while the meet turned out to be a Western Albemarle and Louisa County dual meet as Louisa made up the five other non-Western Albemarle runners in the top 12 with Baker, Ehab Hoffman (4th, 16:45), Jesse Martin (7th, 17:10), Lawrence Minor (9th, 17:15), and Eric Stone (12th, 17:28).

Western Albemarle will get their first opportunity to race against defending AA state champions and current SE #4 Brentsville at the Region II Meet on the same Panorama Farms course on Friday, November 3rd.

SE Bubble - Oak Ridge TN (Next Meet: TSAA State Cross Country Championship 11/4)

Oak Ridge boys continue to march on for another 3A state title run in Tennessee. A previous SE top 10 ranked team this season rolled their regional meet with a 57 second spread and 17:04 team average to win by 32 points over Knoxville West. The same venue as last year's district meet, but many of the courses in Tennessee have been altered to 5K distances from the traditional three mile courses that had been run. Oak Ridge was led by region champion Maclean O'Donnell in a time of 16:28. Joining O'Donnell on the All-Region team were teammates Chris Cole (6th, 16:52), Emerson Peacock (10th, 17:17), Ben Shassere (11th, 17:19), and Phil Riember (12th, 17:25). Last year, Oak Ridge averaged 16:38 as team on the Victor Ashe Park three mile course.

Dominion District Meet
Thursday, October 26th

FEATURED TEAMS:

SE #1 - Midlothian VA (Next Meet: Central Region Meet 11/4)

Midlothian senior M.C. Miller matched her time on the Pocahontas State Park 5K course from last year's district meet at 19:08, but finished fifth for the team and sixth overall at the Dominion District Meet versus last year when she was first for the team and second overall. While Miller had been under the weather and missed a decent amount of school leading into the meet, the results were also a sign of how much stronger the Midlothian girls are from a year ago as they averaged 18:52 and had seven of the top nine finishers. James River junior Kristen Wolfe, currently ranked #1 in AAA, successfully defended her district title from a year ago in a final time of 18:19.1. Wolfe won last year's district meet in 18:39 and went onto run 20 seconds faster and finish fourth in the Virginia 3A state race in 18:19.

The Midlothian girls also averaged roughly 20 faster last fall from the district to the state course as they had a team average of 19:28 in the 2005 Dominion District Meet and a 19:09 average in their state championship performance at the 2005 VHSL State Meet at Great Meadows. It is quite a noteworthy stat and foreshadows a possible very dominant state meet performance with six runners projected to run under 19 minutes on the state course. Last year, Midlothian won the AAA state title by a 52 point margin with just two runners under 19 minutes.

FEATURED TEAMS:

SE #4 - Episcopal FL (Next Meet: Region 1-2A Meet 11/3)

The Episcopal girls dominated the district meet winning with a perfect score and placed all seven runners in the top 15. The next team was Bishop Kenny with 56 points, followed by Bolles (2A state runner-up) with 71 points. Their team average improved from 19:15 when they ran on the same course September 9th to 18:48. All five girls were under 19 minutes for the first time this year. The weather was cool and windy and the course was running slow, as it was soggy from raining all night.

Despite the conditions, Episcopal girls were faster than the 2005 team in the same meet on the same course as they only had two runners under 19 minutes and averaged 18:57 as a team. Even after their ninth place showing at Eastern States, there still has to be hope for last year's 12th place team at Nike Team Nationals to earn one of the four at-large berths.

Patriot District Meet

FEATURED TEAMS:

SE #6 - Lake Braddock VA (Next Meet: Northern Region Meet 11/2)

Lake Braddock had a tougher challenge than expected from West Potomac at the Patriot District Meet, but then again West Potomac has definitely showed great improvement over the past few weeks with the emergence of some solid freshmen runners. Lake Braddock won the district title by 10 points over West Potomac as they averaged 18:30 on the Burke Lake 2.98 mile course. Coach Mike Mangan's girls were led by two-time All-State cross country runner Michelle Presley as she took runner-up honors in 17:50 to West Potomac's Elizabeth Heath. Lake Braddock had four more finishers in the top 15 with Hayley Sullivan (4th, 18:16), Erin Landy (8th, 18:35), Amanda Parker (13th, 18:48), and Anna Corrigan (15th, 18:57) with Nadeen Khoury (16th, 18:59) just off All-District honors as the team had six runners under 19 minutes.

Lake Braddock would definitely be competing at a whole other level than West Potomac and appear to be a stronger challenger to overwhelming AAA state favorite Midlothian if Christine Moore is able to return back to top form from the beginning of the season when she was running first for the team and ahead of Presley. However, Moore was seventh for the time and 30th overall in a time of 20:07.

Lake Braddock failed to make it to the state meet last year as a sixth runner tiebreaker gave James Robinson the the final state meet spot in the 2005 Northern Region Meet, so it is not possible to use team average differences for Lake Braddock from districts to states to project times. However, three individuals qualified for state competition last year from the Patriot District with this year's district champion Elizabeth Heath and two Lake Braddock runners in Presley and now graduated Erin Klein. The average time difference between the three runners from their district meet to their state meet times is 24 seconds. An arguement for using the 24 seconds as adjusment would be the fact that Lake Braddock is coached by the same coach in Mike Mangan who was able to get his two runners to improve considerably from their district races in Klein and Presley to have minimal time differences and earn All-state honors.

However, looking at how the Northern Region teams faired at Great Meadows last year from the regional meet in regards to team average time differences, a 24 second adjustment to times seems to be way too kind. Lake Braddock averaged 18:30 as a team at the district meet, while last year's Northern Region champion Oakton averaged 18:27 at the 2005 regional meet. At the state meet, Oakton averaged 1:09 slower from Burke Lake to the state course at Great Meadows. Fairfax had the smallest time difference between team averages from regions to states at 1:02, while the overall average between the four Northern Region state meet teams was 1:11. The biggest question could be is Lake Braddock better than 2005 Oakton team?

FHSAA Class 3A District 7 Meet

St. Cloud, FL

FEATURED TEAMS:

SE #7 - Satellite FL

The Satellite girls successfully defending their district title as it was nearly an identical performance with 21 point total and four of the top five finishers. The team averaged ten second slowers from last year's district meet on the same course, but the difference can mostly be attributed to their fifth in Alisa Kowaleski running 20 seconds slower than last year. Satellite senior Jessica Stern dethroned Jamia Hutto (2nd, 19:18) of Oak Ridge for the district title in 18:49, while Juliana Stern (3rd, 19:25), Kaitlin Shiver (4th, 19:30), and Ashley Shiver (5th, 20:14) finished in the top five for Satellite. Their regional championship come up this week and then they will be gearing to defend their 3A state title with the same five from last year's state championship.

SE # 8 - Morristown West TN (Next Meet: TSSAA State Cross Country Championship 11/4)

The Morristown West girls were Region I AAA champions once again. While the course changed from three miles to 5K in 2006, the winner stayed the same with the SE #8 squad. Morristown West senior Haley Moody successfully defended her individual title as she posted a 18:50 on the Daniel Boone High School 5K course. Moody had won the 3 mile course in 2005 in 18:27. While Morristown West did not 'perfect 15' the meet as they did in 2005, they still dominated the meet with five of the top seven finishers for a team score of 20 points. Behind Moody were teammates Tara Gietema (2nd, 19:24), Tesha Haggard (4th, 19:51), Emily Parker (6th, 20:05), and Terra Haggard (7th, 20:08).

SE #10 - Blacksburg VA (Next Meet: Region III Meet 11/1)

While a fast course is found at Green Hill Park for athletes to run personal bests, the back pack for the Blacksburg girls definitely exceeded expectations running some big personal bests and making them a feel a bit more confident as they move in championship into a eventual clash with previous Southeast ranked Brentsville girls. There was no surprise from Blacksburg's front three in Allison Homer (1st, 18:32), Lauren MacMillan (2nd, 18:46), and Cate Berenato (3rd, 19:06) as they have continued to be anchor for the team this fall. However, Avery Mattingly (6th, 20:08) and Kathleen Stevens (7th, 20:09) had been struggling to even break 21 minutes this fall for 5K and almost bypass breaking 21 onto breaking 20 minutes with their district meet performances. Regular fourth runner for Blacksburg Hannah Barrow had an off day in 11th place at 20:40, while Joanna Stevens (12th, 20:47) adds extra depth with now seven runners under 21 minutes for 5K. The team averaged 17 seconds at districts (19:20) from last year's meet (19:37).

Northwestern District Meet
Thursday, October 26th
Kernstown Battlefield - 5K
Winchester, VA

RESULTS: http://milesplit.com/meet/results/40894 (Courtesy of MileStat.com/va.milesplit.com)

FEATURED TEAMS:

SE Bubble - Brentsville VA (Next Meet: Region II Meet 11/3)

The Brentsville have definitely raced better than they showed at Great American in the Race of Champions, but they have not raced anybody to help bump them back up into the top 15. Racing on a new district course at Kernstown Battlefield does not help, but their performances nonetheless were solid. Becky Stewart had a great race as the team's top finisher to successfully defend her district title in a quick time of 18:26 on a fair 5K course. Brentsville had a total of four finishers in the top ten with Stewart, Amelia Emerson (5th, 19:34), Lauren Bussian (6th, 19:48), and Sarah Earman (10th, 20:01). Stephanie Hutson (20:24) rounded out the team's scoring in 12th place as Brentsville won by 31 points over John Handley.
