May 10-14, 2001 (delayed by storm) 2001 OutdoorArkansas State Meet |
|
 |
from Arkansas Track Stats
The first year of the Arkansas
track and field festival designed to increase attendance got off to a
good start on Thursday, May 10 as the Class 1A and 2A State Meets went
off as planned at Hot Springs.� However,
severe weather struck on Friday with torrential rains and fantastic lightning
displays forcing postponement of the Class 4A and Class 5A meets until
Monday, May 14. The Class 3A meet was completed before the sever weather
arrived.� A recap of the meets follows.� Complete meet results will be posted on www.ArkansasTrackStats.com when
available.
The Class 4A and 5A State
Meets concluded Monday afternoon at Hot Springs after the storm delay
on last Friday.� The hot, sunny
weather led to mixed results as the heat especially affected the 3200m
races.� Winners in all events from each classification
plus the three next best performances qualify for the Meet of Champions
to be held Wednesday evening at Lake Hamilton High School.
Jefferson County took home
three of the four team championships with the Pine Bluff Zebras taking
the Boys 5A, the Pine Bluff Fillies taking the Girls 5A and the Watson
Chapel Lady Wildcats turning the hat trick in the Girls 4A. Only the Hot
Springs Trojans in the Boys 4A kept Jefferson County from taking all four.
Watson Chapel is a suburban community adjacent to Pine Bluff.
Three of the state�s leading
distance runners turned in excellent performances and served up two new
Class 5A records and one of three new overall record in this year�s state
meets.� Senior Megan Kale of Ft. Smith Northside did
her part for the Lady Bears by posting the second faster Girls 800m this
year and setting a new Class 5A record at 2:18.26 creating a potential
showdown at the Meet for Champs with Class 2A champ Chelsie Mock of Jessieville.
Mock, who announced her signing with the University of Arkansas at Little
Rock, posted the state�s fastest 800m earlier in the year at 2:17+ and
clocked a 2:18.71 last week at the 2A finals.�
The twosome will be joined by Class 4A champ Tiffany Dodson of
Harrison who cruised a 2:20.88 in winning her crown.
Kansas signee Brandon Hodges
of Hot Springs coasted home in the Class 4A Boys 800m in a quick 1:52.86
as well as running a leg on Hot Springs� 4A record setting 4x400m relay.
The Trojans raced home seven seconds ahead of second place posting a 3:19.29
setting up a Meet of Champs showdown with Class 5A champ Pine Bluff which
recorded a 3:21.29.
The big news of the day was
Eric Gross of the Class 5A Mt. Home Bombers setting a new 5A and Overall
record in the Boys 1600m with a blistering 4:10.45. Gross ran virtually
by himself with splits of 62-62-63-63 while 13 seconds ahead of the next
finisher.� Gross, a UA-Little Rock signee, smashed the
old record of 4:11.74 held by former Arkansas Razorback All-American and
current pro runner, Brian Baker.�
Hot Springs sophomore James
Hamilton broke the 29-year old record of smooth Luther Guinn of Arkadelphia
in the Class 4A Boys 400m with a smart 47.73 while teammate Antwon Hicks
won the high jump in 6�10, the long jump in 21�7�, the 300m hurdles in
38.42 and the 110m hurdles in 14.14.�
The latter mark ties a 33-year old record set by cool Joe Trotter
of the former Pine Bluff Merrill.
On the Girls side in 4A,
Antisha Anderson of Pulaski Robinson was a triple winner and dual record
setter by winning the 100m in 12.08 (new 4A record), 100m hurdles in 14.58
and 300m hurdles in 43.89. The latter was a new 4A and Overall record.
Latoya McBride of Watson Chapel took home two trophies with a 5�7� high
jump victory and a 4A record �setting performance of 57.90 in the 400m.
Dyshonda Avery of Stuttgart set a new 4A shot put mark at 41�7� as well
as winning the discus at 116�6�.
All in all 21 (16 Girls and
5 Boys) State Meet classification records were set or tied and three (2
Girls and one Boys) Overall State Records were set. New Overall records
were:
