a medal for the team too
by Pete Cava, NSSF
Ja-Vell Bullard already had a Nike Indoor Nationals championship ring after winning Sunday's 400. Yet when he crossed the finish line in the meet's last event, he held his right fist high, his index finger pointing toward the ceiling.
“That was for my friend,” said Bullard, pointing to Bethel (Va.) High School leadoff man Earl House. “He wanted to win this race so bad. He wanted a ring so bad, that this race was for him.”
House had given Bethel the lead by the first exchange, and the Virginians never looked back. House handed off to Sherrard Marrow, who passed to Austin Cuffee, who gave the baton to Bullard. Bethel's winning time was 3:20.79.
Second place went to Track Eastern Carolina, author of a 3:22.12 in the second section. Pleasantville (N.J.) Track Club, second to Bethel in the fast section, wound up third in 3:24.15.
Bethel won the NIN 4x4 title for the second consecutive year.

trading wins with Landstown
by Elliot Denman, NSSF
After bowing to Landstown High School/Virginia Beach, Va. in
the 4x200 Saturday, the Blazin’ Raiders of Eleanor Roosevelt
High School weren’t about to let that happen in the 4x400
finale.
It was left to Tasha Stanley – a heroine of so many Blazin’
Raider triumphs over the years – to do it again.
Three yards down on Landstown’s Cierra McGee rounding the
final turn, Stanley poured it on to draw even 40 meters out
and win by a single stride at the end, 3:46.43 to 3:46.91, with
Booker T. Washington a distant third in 3:56.99 over the SWAT
team’s 3:56.77.
The Raiders’ 3:46.43 (with Christian Hickson, Afia Charles
and Doris Anyanwu running the first three legs) and
Landstown’s 3:46.91 moved up to 3-4 on the all-time NIN
charts, where the Raiders’ 2007 3:45.02 and Woodow
Wilson/Long Beach, California’s 1999 3:45.35 remain 1-2.
“Yes, I was always confident we could win it,” said Stanley.
“This was my last indoor meet (as a high schooler); I definitely
wanted to go out as a winner.”
“Oh, I knew she (Stanley) was coming back on me,” said
McGee. “But she was a little stronger; I just couldn’t hold her
off.”
