Highlights |
Saturday
- Glenville OH boys 1:28.95 800 SMR, breaking
the national record of Wheeler GA (1:29.68 in March 2003) and
fulfilling their expectations “to do something big.".
Theodore Ginn anchored this effort, and then
upset Kerron Clement and Jason Richardson, ranked 1-2 in the country,
in the 110m hurdles in 13.62.
- Red Bank NJ girls 11:37.86 DMR for a new national
record, breaking the 11:41.28 standard of the Ale Barrientos-led
San Lorenzo Valley CA team at the Penn Relays in 2000.
- Ari Lambie humbles "the best girls mile
field ever" in 4:39.05, a meet record and the 3rd best ever
by US high school girls, with a 10-second margin over last year's
champion, Megan Kaltenbach.
- Sam Vazquez 4:03.87 toppled both Steve Magness
and Chris Solinsky in "the best boys mile field ever"
with a 57-second last lap. Solinsky, who took the lead on the
backstretch, was second in 4:05.30. Jeff See
of Middletown OH was third in 4:06.07, taking the sophomore class
record held by Alan Webb, who in turn took it from Jim Ryun in
1999. Seven runners ran under 4:08.
- Katya Kostetskaya dominated Heidi Magill, best
in the US the last 2 years, to win the girls 800m in 2:05.95,
best in the US this year.
- Shana Cox doubled 200/400 over stellar fields
in 23.24 and 52.94.
- Ohio 800m champion Derrick Hoye 1:50.34 hammered
the field throughout and held off the late charge of John Richardson
1:50.67.
- Skyline Dallas girls 3:38.35 4x400 beat Miami
Northwestern by 8 seconds and became the first Texas team to run
under 3:40.
- Winslow NJ boys 3:10.47 won the 4x400 with
a fabulous anchor by Antraye Miles coming from third place for
their third relay win of the meet ( 1:24.49 4x200 and 40.92 4x100).
- Scott Sellers TX edged Mike Morrison
in high jump by clearing 7-3.25 on his first try. Morrison
made it on his second try, and both missed three times at 7-5.
- Andy Fryman completed a throws double by winning
the discus at 192-6. He won the shot put Friday night at 65-6.25.
- 4xMile - In the cool of Saturday morning, early
rising runners competed in the rarely run 4xMile relays. The winners
were Davidson Hilliard OH boys, despite Steve
Magness' 4:06.7 anchor split for FMR Klein TX. Magness got the
stick in 7th place and burned himself out with 56.5 first lap
that carried him into third place. But he could not catch Davidson's
Chris Nichols, who finished in 4:11.3 to fulfill a seasonal goal
of the Hilliard OH crew. Saratoga Springs NY,
despite missing Nicole Blood due to a hamstring injury, won the
girls race easily.. steveu's distance

After 13 years, AOC has become the
biggest post-season meet, with the most entries (nearly 2,000
this year) and the most events. The meet managers, the National
Scholastic Sports Foundation, bill AOC as "the nation's premier
high school outdoor event." US#1 bragging rights and even
national records will be on the line this year. AOC
Previews:
-
a
new distance peak? - You might have
thought the high school distance running resurgence peaked 2
years ago with the graduation of Alan Webb, Dathan Ritzenhein,
and Ryan Hall. You would have been wrong. Meet managers are
calling this year's AOC boys mile field the best ever assembled,
and the girls mile features Ari Lambie, who ran 4:37.23, US#3
all time, in the Massachusetts state meet June 7.
- Michelle
Carter - like father, like daughter.
Michelle and dad Michael are the first parent-child pair to hold
national HS records.
