BOYS
new 2007 US #1

Cypress Falls TX battled with Skyline TX, and it came down to the highly-anticipated anchor between Skyline soph Howard Shepard and Cy Falls jr Blake Shaw, 1-2 respectively at last year's USATF Jr Olympics in 1:52.25 (that's right, as a freshman!) to 1:53.61. Not to be denied this time, Shaw sat on Shepard's shoulder through a 51-point first 400 and pulled away on the 2nd lap for a fine 3:28.18 winning time. Skyline held on for silver in 3:28.89.

Quotes:
Blake Shaw, 800 anchor leg

  • It was a big race (with Howard Shepard anchoring against me.) He beat me in Jr Olympic regions and nationals last summer. That was a huge surprise, he came out of nowhere (Howard didn’t run for his school’s varsity last year.) I’d never lost a summer track race before.
  • I knew we went out fast (51-point at 400), because my legs were hurting. My goal coming in was to push the curve after the 400 to try to get some separation. My coach told me I’ve been slowing down there. But I could tell we went out too fast today, so that wasn’t going to happen. It’s funny, because just 2 weeks ago I was only splitting 51 in the 4x400.
  • I gave up basketball after freshman year, then baseball this year, but I still play football as well as cross country in the fall.


Legs:
200 - Dedrick Johnson, Jr
200 - J.R. Slade, Sr
400 (47.3) - Jack Freeman, Sr
800 (1:54.3) - Blake Shaw, Jr

GIRLS
Houston Lamar TX took the title in 4:02.81, holding off A&M Consolidated TX in 4:04.60.

Lamar took heat #1, and benefited from a fast early pace by Lancaster TX, which led through the first 3 legs. A&M Consolidated won the second and final heat.

Quotes:
Halsey Fowler, 2:16.6 800 anchor leg

  • I feel like we all worked really well together and everyone I think just ran their best and just competed against all the other great teams out here.
  • We really wanted the medal so I just really tried to catch that girl.
