CHAMPIONSHIP WEEK
For the 7th straight year we close the high school indoor season with two national meets on the same weekend -- NIN at PG Sportsplex at Landover MD next to the Washington Redskins stadium and NSIC at the New York Armory off Broadway at 168th street in Manhattan.
With two national stages there are twice as many opportunities for athletes to bask in the limelight. But some events inevitably are deprived of the face to face showdown you expect in a national championship. The girls 800 suffers the most this time -- talent in the deepest HS event of the season is split between the two meets.

Lashawn Merritt
signs Nike contract
On the eve of the NCAA championships, East Carolina University freshman Lashawn Merritt has signed a professional contract with Nike. In his short college career, Merritt had already run a 44.93 400 meters, third fastest ever indoors behind two Michael Johnson races and a world junior record, and coach Bill Carson was predicting Merritt would run under 44 seconds this year.
