Boys

Kris Washington turned in a 1:54.7 third leg to give Motor City Track Club (Mumford, MI) a lead it never relinquished and anchorman Isaiah Ward crossed the finish line in
7:37.99 to give the Michigan squad the victory. The performance made the Motor City foursome of George Jackson, Shaka Dukes, Washington and Ward the year's fastest 4x800 squad on the U.S. high school list.
Washington overtook Chris Pregler of Doylestown (PA) TC on the third leg and the Michiganders never looked back.
“All year we haven’t had a chance to race against anyone in terms of good competition,” said Ward. “We weren’t sure how well we were going to do against this type of competition. Today, we proved that our training is good enough to compete against the best. We took cross country seriously, we got second at indoors, and all the hard work paid off in winning the national outdoors.”
On the final leg, St. Charles (IL) North High School passed the Pennsylvanians for third place. St. Charles's time was 7:45.49 to 7:47.48 for Doylestown. Second and third place, however, went to Albemarle (VA) High School and Hudson High School. Albemarle and Hudson ran times of 7:42.21 and 7:42.24 in the second section to move up in the composite standings.

Eleanor Roosevelt’s Blazin’ Raiders had already won the 4x200 and the 1600 sprint medley, and were the 2007 NON 4x800 champions in 8:55.50. But a title defense was not in the Raiders’ game plan. This time, it was Warwick Valley, NY in front from start to finish.
Junior Kristen Jados led it off in 2:18.9, senior Tori Pennings widened it with her 2:14.1, senior Claire Pettit sped up the pace with a 2:11.1, and sophomore Lillian Greibesland’s 2:11.3 brought it home for a rousing 8:55.74 triumph.
For Warwick Valley, with its immense year-round distance running tradition, this was the second quickest 4x800 time in the nation this year. “Beginning the third leg we really started pulling away,” Greibesland said. “We knew Roosevelt wasn’t here, so we wanted to motivate ourselves by trying to break the meet record."
Pettit put it this way: “When I got the stick we had a little lead, so I had to be confident that I could extend that lead. I didn’t think about what was behind me, I just kept pushing. We’ve been trying to win a national championship for a quite a while so this felt good.”
New Jersey’s Hunterdon Hawks were a distant second to Warwick Valley in 9:08.51 and Collins Hill took home the third-place medals with their 9:10.91 victory in the early
section.
