National Boys:

5/16 Update: Desert Vista (AZ)
has a strong week coming out of the state meet. Allante Battle only improves his 100m time to 10.64 to win state (as well as winning state in the 200m and 400m!) and Chris Conway runs state meet fourth place finish 4:23.38 in the 1600m to help the team cause. Shea Kearney also had a great state meet showing with a mark of 16’4.75” in the pole vault to win. With this team up by over 300 points, they will be a hard one to beat. Warren Central (IN) improves their team score with improvements from De’Sean Turner in the 3200m (9:07.62) and Jeffery Williams in the long jump (22’4.5”. Warren Central is 130 points ahead of the tied up third place teams of Lee’s Summit North and The Woodlands – both at 7908 points. Let’s see how that competition plays out.

5/9 Update: Desert Vista
is still the reigning team in the nation. With new weekly marks from Chris Conway of 4:25.07 in the 1600m and Shea Kearney’s 16’3” pole vault, this team continues to climb. Warren Central is in a solid second place with a new few marks this past week from Brad Ellington running 48.2 in the 400m and Mark Harsley’s shot put mark of 50’3.5”. The Woodlands is still in third place with their state meet completed but we have not seen an updated mark in awhile, so look for some improvement here.

5/2 Update: Desert Vista still remains the top dog here. This team just continues to improve with marks from Steven Figueroa in the discus of 168’4.5” in the discus and 60’0.25” in the shot and Mychal Hammonds in the high jump with a mark of 6’4”. Another nice mark from distance runner, Chris Conway, of 4:26.21 in the 1600m helps the cause.
Newcomer Warren Central (IN) comes in and edges out powerhouse The Woodlands TX out of the second spot here. D’Juan Richardson’s 14.24 mark in the 110m hurdles and Devin Pipkin’s 10.69 100m mark gives this team a boost. Derrick Spight’s high jump mark of 6’9” is pretty special, as well as De’Sean’s Turner’s 4:14.5 (1600m) and 9:22.3 (3200m) marks help this team’s score tremendously too.

4/25 Update:
Desert Vista continues its dominance with better marks in the field events this week, while The Woodlands remain 2nd with no changes. See the regional report for more details.

4/18Update: Strong all around performances have Desert Vista AZ in the lead, with Allante Battle pacing the 100m and 400m running 10.87 and 49.03 respectively as well as a team best in the long jump of 22’4”. Good distance marks from Matt Boughton in the 1600 (4:26.3) and 3200 (9:29.90) and good field events make this a team hard to beat.
Alex Neff brings The Woodlands TX onto solid ground with his 1600m mark of 4:15.83 and 3200m mark of 9:03.00. Sprint and hurdle marks are hard to beat from this team with marks from Brian Schmitt (10.89 in the 100m), Adam Hayes (51.02 in the 400m) and Terak Haider (15.13 in the 110m hurdles)

National Girls:

5/16 Update: Division 5A Texas State champions, DeSoto (TX) continues to pour it on with new marks from Gayla Cloud in the 100m hurdles (13.95) – good for a second place finish at state, Richelle Ray in the long jump (16’10.25”) and Skylar White in the discus (158’4”) and shot put (45’8”) – good for first place finishes in both events. This team has some balance and pulls ahead of Kingwood and Murrieta Valley who did not have any new marks this past week. No new marks from second place Kingwood (TX) this week. Kristen Hanselka runs a 10:59.52 for second place at 5A Texas state meet, but does not improve upon her 10:56.89 set earlier this season.

5/9 Update:
Newcomer DeSoto (TX) comes in and grabs the top spot from Kingwood (TX) by only 71 points. Gayla Cloud’s 14.06 110m hurdle effort along with Brittney Cain’s 11.97 100m mark and Skylar White’s 157’3” discus and 44’9” shot helps this team jump to the top of the country. Kingwood (TX) drops a notch to the number two spot nationally with no new marks this week from this team. Look for more good marks from these teams as the state meet is this weekend.

5/2 Update:
Kingwood is still the king here among the girl’s team scores with 7707 points – a slight edge over Murrieta Valley’s 7600 tally. Hanselka continues to peak with her marks with new marks in the 1600m (5:00.12) and 3200m (10:49.55). Just a well-balanced team.
Murrieta Valley was dealt a blow this past week with the loss of their super star, Kelsey Rubeor, to a major knee injury where she will be out for six months. Her marks posted now will have to prevail for the rest of the season to keep this team strong in the rankings.

4/25 Update:
Kristen Hanselka bettered her 1600m with a 5:00.12 mark to help raise the score of Kingwood TX.
For Murietta, Kelsey Rubeor is the all-star of this squad with five of the top marks for this team from the 100m Hurdle to the long jump, high jump, discus and shot put. It looks like Kelsey is going to make a fine heptathlete in college.

4/18Update: Kingwood TX jumps in as a newcomer this week, popping to the top spot in the nation edging Murrieta Valley. Kristen Hanselka has a strong 5:03.01 and a 10:56.89 and a solid 100m Hurdle by Kathryn Lupton with a time of 14.40. This team is solid across the board from the sprints to the throws. The team to beat!
Good all around marks, still, from Murietta CA. Strong in the distances with Taryn Pastoor running 5:06.89 and 10:58.9, and again a solid 100m Hurdle performance of 14.8 from Amber Middleton. Kelsey Rubeor throws the discus 121’5” and puts the shot 43’3” to help the cause.

Northeast Boys –
  • 5/16 Update: Wow! Colt’s Neck (NJ) pounces to the top of this region with a strong week to take over the number one spot by 436 points! This team posted all new marks (except for one) this past week. Craig Forys’ 4:13.88 1600m and 8:48.99 two mile are superb along with Matt Sullivan’s 14.77 110m hurdle mark and Andrew Sobieski’s 50.4 in the 400m.

  • 5/02 Update: Monsignor Farrell holds a slight edge over newcomer McDowell (PA) with 7436 points. Matt Frawley’s 1 mile mark of 4:21.09 helps the cause of this team. Note: Newcomer McDowell (PA) moves into a strong second place nudging Don Bosco Prep from second to third.
  • 4/25 Update: Monsignor Farrell (NY) continues to dominant this region with a 22 overall ranking leading the region by 200 points.

Northeast Girls -
  • 5/16 Update: Southern Regional (NJ) remains on top of this region by 436 points with no new marks this past week. Colt’s Neck (NJ) is the story of this region taking over second place with 7155 points. With new marks from Ashley Higginson in the 1600m (4:55.21) and 3000m (9:37.92), Coach Schlentz’ team is rising.
  • 5/09 Update: Southern Regional (NJ) gets a boost from Danielle Tauro in the 3000m with a 9:47.10 mark to stay 507 points ahead of second place Chambersburg (PA). Cherokee (NJ), a newcomer this week, comes in strong with a third place ranking with some solid marks.
  • 5/02 Update: New Jersey is the state to beat here in this region! Southern Regional has another great week with a move from sixth nationally to fourth. Ashley Furlong bettered her pole vault mark to 12’0” and Brittany Knowles’ 110m hurdle mark of 14.8 helps too. I still say this team has some room to grow with better marks from Tauro – something we all know will come in time.
  • 4/25 Update: Change in the action here with New Jersey teams dominating the top three spots. Southern Regional (NJ) takes over with a HUGE week that brings them to the top sixth spot in the nation from a 55th spot from last week. Super star Danielle Tauro’s fine marks of 5:03.2 in the 1600m and 11:09.1 in the 3200m helps as well as Ashley Furlong’s pole vault mark of 11’6”. Look for this team to continue its upward trend. Regional note – Jim Schlentz’ Colt’s Neck (NJ) team is making a move in this region as well. Keep an eye on this all around team.
  • 4/18 Update: No changes in this region from last week. ND stays on top with strong performances from Kristen Mahon in the 400m with a 56.7 and a solid 5:39.6 1600m from Ashley Buxton.

Southeast Boys –

  • 5/09 Update: McEachern (GA) still on top of this strong region. Ben Hubers continues to impress with a sub 9:00 effort in the 3200m of 8:58.45. With this region winding down with state meets, we could see this region pretty static from here on out. But of course, it is still time for newcomers to come in and take a stand with any mark from the track season. That could make it exciting.
  • 5/02 Update: McEachern is still on top in this region. Ben Hubers runs a spectacular time of 4:06.27 in the 1600m to help this team out this week to help put a little bit of space between them and the newcomer this week, Amos P Godby (FL). Still a tough region with the top three teams separated by 194 points.

McEachern, ranked fifth nationally, still holds the lead with 7713 points with strong performances from William Wynne in the 400m (46.72) and 110m hurdles (13.69).

Southeast Girls –
  • 5/16 Update: Collins Hill (GA) remains strong in this region. The top two teams in this region, Collins Hill and TC Roberson (NC) had no new marks to add to their score from last week, but third place, Governor Thomas Johnson (MD) draw within fourteen points to TC Roberson with new marks this past week.
  • 5/09 Update: Collins Hill (GA) remains on top here by over 600 points. The only thing that could spoil this teams’ strong number five national spot is for a new team to come in and take a stand in the rankings. Governor Thomas Johnson (MD) is a newcomer this week in this region bringing them into a solid number three spot.
  • 5/02 Update: No changes in the rankings in this region. In fact, of the top three teams, TC Roberson (NC) was the only team that had a point change. Collins Hill (GA) remains strong at number three nationally.
