Potential Highlights
(note: some athletes mentioned are also entered in Arkansas Invitational)
- San Antonio Stevens (San Antonio Blazers) sr Rynell Parson's comeback takes flight here in the 55, where he is two-time defending champ (6.25 last year). After setting soph class records in 2007 at 200 indoors (21.62) and 100 outdoors (10.23), Parson was injured most of last year.
- Starkville MS sr Tavaris Tate leads the 400 field, an event where he ran several mid-low 46s outdoors last spring (US#2 46.39) and was 2nd at Nike Outdoor. McEachern GA (Titans TC) jr Jaron Robertson (47.30 outdoors) coudl be his main challenger.
- Rio Grande City sr Stephen Saenz is the top thrower here. His US#3 65-09.75 from last week, which won the Throwers Summit in Anaheim CA, has been verified to have really been 67-7 - still #3 in this incredible early season for putters. Officials admitted they mis-recorded a 20.60 meters throw as 20.06.
- Though Bayou legend and 2-time meet champ Rachel Laurent is now an LSU Tiger, the event will be a fine battle between soph sensation Morgann Leleux, who set US freshman outdoor record at 13-02 last year, and St. Paul's Episcopal Alabama star and champ Neal Tisher (12-9).
- The boys 55H field includes Atascocito TX (Wings Elite) sr Cameron LaCour (#3 returnee at 60H 7.97, 13.74w 110H), Hightower TX (Wings Elite) sr Trayvion Jones (14.12 110H outdoors) and Temple TX (Texas Greyhounds) sr Tevan Reese (37.25 300H).
- The top distance runners in Mississippi and Louisiana - Pass Christian MS jr Cory McGee and St. Thomas LA jr Malia Cali - are scheduled to clash in the 1600. McGee is entered in the prestigious Millrose Games Jan. 30, where she was 2nd last year, and has run 4:48 for the mile. Cali is the defending NSIC 2M champ.
- The 55 includes the #2 (11.54) and #3 (11.58) US returnees at 100m, Columbia GA (Titans TC) sr Takeia Pinckney (7.51 60) and Ft. Worth Dunbar jr (Dallas Gold TC) Ashley Collier (7.01 for 55).
- Christway Academy TX (Genesis) soph Nia Fluker, who ran 54.08 and 2:08.69 for 400/800 last spring, will try the 400 and the 55. Her challengers will include Dallas Skyline sr (Dallas Gold TC) Candace Jackson (23.83 200 outdoors).
- The speed relays, with a variety of club and school teams from Texas, Georgia, and other states, are always a highlight.
