Gray Horn 3786, Ryann Krais PA 3823


 Gray Horn leads "a system of people"
 Ryann Krais three-peats
 by Pete Cava, NSSF

 Last year, Gray Horn of Waynesfield-Goshen High School in Waynesfield, Ohio, was second in this five-event competition. 
    This time around, the rugged-looking senior stepped into the winner's circle with a total of  3,786 points.  Horn's performance included a time of 8.35 for the 60-meter hurdles (good for 896 points);  a 21-4.75 long jump (702 points);  a shot put put measuring 44-11.5 (710 points) a 6-5.5 high jump clearance (776 points) and a time of 2:56.22 for the 1,000 meters (702 points).
    “I was just hoping to come here and better what I did last year,” said the crew-cut blond giant.  “I wanted to put myself on the list of the top names in this event.”
    Horn was grateful to a support system that includes family and fellow athletes.  “This win means a lot,” he said.  “There's a system of people who have helped me win this event.  First of all, you've got my fellow competitors.  They supported me this whole time.  I've got my grandma and grandpa, my mom and dad – the whole family.  They're here for me today.  This whole thing's a system of people.”
    Horn plans to enter the University of Florida this fall.  At 6-5 and 200-pounds, he has the build of a wide receiver – a position he played in high school – but he intends to concentrate on track.     “I'd love to do both sports,” he said.  “But with Florida being the football powerhouse that it is, I think I'm going to stick with track and field and work with that.”
    Second place went to Kevin Carney (Brentwood, Tenn.) with a 3430 total.  Kurt Reichenbach (Pinckney, Mich.) finished third with a 3394 aggregate.

  It was no secret that Ryann Krais was ready to perform at an ultra-level.
   But just how ultra would it really be for the UCLA-bound Methacton High /Norristown, Pa. senior?
   She’d already won the NIN pentathlon twice – scoring 3,670 points as a sophomore in 2006 and a meet-record 3,715 as a junior last March -and came to Landover determined to make a serious run at Shana Woods’ national record of 3,924 for California’s Long Beach Poly in 2006.
    Krais opened with a smooth 8.62 victory (and the over-all win) in her section of the 60-meter high hurdles and followed with a 5-5 ¾ high jump that shared the best mark in the 25-multi-athlete field.
   But a shot put of just 31-7 ½ slowed her bid.  Four others had better tosses.
  The long jump would become the decide-it-all event.
 Twice, she seemed to uncork super jumps of at least 19 feet. But each time the red flag went up, indicating a foul.  So she settled for a “safety jump” of 18-4 1/2 on her third attempt.  The fouls were by minuscule margins – of perhaps an inch – but would prove critical.
   So that put everything on the line in the concluding 800 meters.
   Methacton coach Rob Ronzano’s calculations showed she’d need to run at least a 2:15.94 to get the national mark.
   Digging deep into her dwindling energy supply, Krais ran an opening 1:06 400 meters – under record pace – but the all-out effort took its toll and she settled for a 2:23.32 clocking and a final score of 3,823 points.
   Totally wearied, but now the No. 2 all-time pentathlon performer on the all-time charts, she crumpled to the side of the track for a needed respite.
   “Oh, this is nothing, just some cramps, normal stuff,”  she said, trying to put a smile back on her face.  “I had a good day, but just ran out of gas.”
     “Ryann was outstanding,” said Ronzano. “She won for a third straight year and broke her own meet record.
   “That was the fastest hurdles race she ever ran on this track, and one of her best-ever high jumps, she barely ,missed at 5-7.
   “The shot put was OK but not great, then it came down to the long jump. They were close fouls, too, no by very much. If either of them over 19 had counted, she’d have had the record.
  “So when it came down to the 800, she had to go out too fast if she’d have any chance at the record.  To her credit, she went all-out going for it.
  “It just wasn’t to be.”
   Lorraine Graham of the Springdale, Md. Maryland Jaguars and Jesse LaBreck of Maine’s Messalonskee High School occupied the 2-3 spots after three events, LaBreck held on for third with a 3,399 total as Aurora’s Shakela Pinnick moved up to second at 3,549, but Graham dropped to seventh.
  Eleven of the 25 NIN pentathletes scored more than 3,000 points.
 After a night’s rest, Krais bounces back to compete in the individual 60-meter hurdles and long jump on the Sunday program.
 And then she can start thinking of the outdoor season – where she’ll defend her Penn Relays 400-meter hurdles title, among other challenges.
   The highly-promising Hannah Carter – whose 173-7 javelin throw last year led the nation, despite her eighth-grade status – occupied 17th place with a 2,660 score. Now a Mesa, Arizona freshman, she led all NIN shot putters with a 38-8 ¼ toss, but struggled through the hurdles (10.04) and 800 (3:37.40.)
