Anthony Hendrix and Akinto Boone duked it out over the final 200 meters, with Hendrix taking the lead on the homestretch to give Track Eastern Carolina the nod over Newburgh (NY) Elite Track Club.

Track Eastern Carolina, Newburgh, Cardinal O'Hara (Springfield, PA) and Absegami Track Club were all in contention heading into the conclusive 800 meters. With 400 left, it was Hendrix in the lead, followed closely by Ford Palmer of Absegami and Boone. Moon grabbed the lead with 200 to go. Hendrix, a sophomore, took it back with 40 meters left. Hendrix's split was 1:51.9 to 1:52.7 for Moon. The quartet of Fuquawn Greene, Miles Sparks, Andrew Hendrix and Anthony Hendrix produced
a time of 3:23.71.

Second was Newburgh in 3:25.03 with Absegami third in 3:26.25.

Greene, Sparks and the Hendrix brothers also won the sprint medley relay title at this year's Nike Indoor Nationals.

“We wanted to break the national record,” said Sparks, “but our coach told us not to worry about it because we have another shot at it next year. Andrew got us out in front, he opened up the gap and Anthony kept himself composed and held on to win.”

Anthony Hendrix admitted that Boone's surge on the backstretch gave him the willies. “I was feeling good until he passed me,” said Anthony. “When he went passed me it clicked in mind, ‘Wait a minute, he just passed me.’ We had too much on the line to let that happen and to let him beat me. I couldn’t sit back and know I could catch him and not do anything about it. I had to put it all out there. It worried me but it didn’t worry to the point where I was going to give up. When most people are passed they just give up. I wasn’t going to let that happen.”

Girls


by Elliot Denman for NSSF

By 5:30 p.m, two relay finals were in the books and the Blazin’ Raiders of Greenbelt, Md.’s Eleanor Roosevelt High were two-for-two. There was little doubt that the Raiders’ quartet of Doris Anyanwu-Afia Charles-Tasha Stanley-Amirah Johson was going to win this 200-200-400-800. The only questions, though, concerned their final time.

Stanley, the lone senior in the group, broke it up with her 54.6 lap. And anchor Johnson, a freshman phenom, with no one on her heels, brought it home comfortably in 3:53.87.

It was the Raiders’ third consecutive 1600 medley win, following their 3:52.38 triumph in 2006, and their meet and national-record 3:51.90 in 2007.

Said Anyanwu: “It feels really good to go into a race knowing we’re able to do what we need to do to win. It’s a mental thing. If you know you can do it, your body is going to do it. But if you go around doubting yourself, you’re not going to be able to accomplish what we accomplished today. “We were pretty confident that we could come in and win both events. We have great coaching and I know what each of my teammates is capable of doing. I didn’t take any of our opponents for granted, but I just know what we are capable of.”
