Blazin' Raiders girls (Eleanor Roosevelt MD) 4:07.42
Track Eastern Carolina boys 3:29.24 MR


After being denied on anchor in the 4x200 and DMR, Blazin' Raiders went wire to wire in this one and were never threatened.
Eastern Carolina and Cleveland Heights matched strides through 1:55 anchors.

  
Carolina boys pull away at end

by Pete Cava, NSSF

For most of the way, the sprint medley relay was tighter than the Democratic presidential race. Track Eastern Carolina (New Bern, N.C.) fielded a team of Fuquawn Greene, Miles Sparks and the Hendrix brothers, Andrew and Anthony. Matching up against the Tarheel squad was Cleveland Heights, Ohio, with Wael El-Halaby, Bryan Underwood, Dontave Cowsette and Jared Hall.
The North Carolinians had the lead at the initial exchange, but the Ohio squad stayed right on their heels, taking the lead on the final leg. Anthony Hendrix passed Jared Hall to put Track Eastern back in front, but Hall held on like a terrier.
On the bell lap, Anthony put daylight between himself and Hall and began to pull away on the final turn. Anthony brought home the stick in 3:29.24 – meet record time – with Cleveland Heights second in 3:31.14.
Third place went to Blazin' Raiders Track Club (Greenbelt, Md.), with a time of 3:32.91.
“I had a long day today,” said Fuquawn, the talented, soft-spoken sophomore who ran the fastest 200 meter qualifying time earlier Saturday. “I had to run three races, including the sprint medley,” Greene continued. “So I had to come back on short rest for this.”
Greene got another long day planned for Sunday. “I've got the 4x4 and the 200 final,” he said.
Raiders defend home turf in closing relay

by Elliot Denman, NSSF

Eleanor Roosevelt’s hometown Blazin’ Raiders had taken three Saturday relay crowns (4x200, DMR, SMR) at the 2007 NIN meet but hadn’t been in the victory column this time around – until the concluding sprint medley.
But the team of Afia Charles, Doris Anyanwu, Jenea McCammon and Tasha Stanley changed that run of fortune with a decisive 4:07.42 win in this 200-200-400-800 specialty, leaving the AJ’s Track Club of Chester, Pa. (4:09.29) and the Irish Road Track Club/Conestoga High of Berwyn, Pa. (4:09.84) to battle it out for second and third.
Next in were the Cruzin’ Clippers of Oxon Hill, Md. at 4:10.23.
“This is our home track, so right then and there, that’s a lot of motivation for us to do well here,” said Anyanwu. “You wouldn’t want someone coming into your own home and putting their feet up on the furniture, would you?”
Charles is a sophomore, McCammon and Anyanwu juniors, and Stanley the lone senior.
Stanley is bound for the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill to study science and pre-med on a track scholarship, but she knows she’ll miss the supportive atmosphere of her high school.
“Oh, college is going to be great, I’m sure, but just the same I’m going to miss my teammates. We’ve done so much together. It’s going to be hard saying goodbye.”
Chanelle Price-anchored Easton, Pa. demolished the NIN record for this 2-2-4-8 race with a 3:56.46 triumph a year ago. Put that one down as another that’s going to last a while.
