Bobby Lockhart 15:03 breaks Karie's meet record;
Kiera Carlstrom, Good Counsel MD boys, Robinson VA girls also win
by Pearl Watts
The Northern Region prevailed on the girls side with Robinson
claiming the
team title and Oakton's Keira Carlstrom the individual winner while
Good
Counsel (MD) took the boys team title and Handley's Bobby Lockhart
set a new
meet record to highlight the varsity seeded divisions at the Tenth
Annual
Glory Days Grill Invitational held at Bull Run Regional Park this
past
Saturday.
With the district meets barely a week away and with the regional
meet the
following week, Robinson looks to be the dominant team on the girls
side as
they moved up one spot from their runnerup finish at last year's
Glory Days
Grill meet to win with 92 points. The Patriot District was especially
strong
as they took the top three and four of the first five team positions
as Lake
Braddock scored 135 points for second place to slip past third place
Hayfield
(141 points) with Magruder (MD) fourth with 179 points and West
Springfield
fifth at 194 points.
Robinson was led by junior Sam Ference, who has been the Rams most
consistent performer this year, with her sixth place overall finish
at 19
minutes, 17 seconds over the rolling, moderately hilly, all grass
3.1 mile
(5k) course. Robinson also had juniors Lauren Hovland and Joanna
Rodgers
within 30 seconds of Ference in the number two and three spots with
their
fourth through seventh runners all within 1:30 of Ference, as they
now look
forward to the championship season.
Runnerup Lake Braddock was paced by junior Kelly Swain's third place
finish
in 18:53 and also had freshman Sara Rothe greatly contribute with
her ninth
place time of 19:24 while third place Hayfield put three runners
among the
top twenty five finishers led by Morgan Phelan (13th; 19:32).
In the individual competition, Oakton senior Keira Carlstrom made
her first
foray into racing on Northern Virginia soil this season a good one
as she won
in 18:27 to become the number seven performer all time, with five
of the six
performers ahead of her former Foot Locker National Finalists.
Carlstrom and a group of nine others were in the lead pack after
a fairly
conservative first half mile in somewhat breezy weather under warm,
sunny
skies before Carlstrom, Centreville sophomore Dacia Barr, Swain
and Katie
Endres of Potomac Falls made a slight break from the pack and went
through
the first mile in 5:42.
Approaching a short but steep hill close to the race's halfway point,
Swain
picked up the pace but first Barr and then Carlstrom covered the
move with
Endres then relegated to fourth place. Carlstrom then took the lead
in the
next quarter mile on the back portion of the course and held a five
second
lead over Barr at the two mile mark, which the Oakton senior hit
in 11:38.
Carlstrom then maintained a twenty to thirty yard lead over Barr
for the
remaining mile of the course and finished well in control for a
seven second
victory over Barr, who now ranks as the number ten performer with
her
runnerup time of 18:34 with Swain third (18:53) and sophomore Endres
fourth
in 19:07 to finish just ahead of fast closing Kristin Hart of Herndon
(5th;
19:10).
On the boys side, Good Counsel matched the Robinson girls as they
scored 92
points in winning for the second straight year. Good Counsel employed
some
excellent pack running as their top five scoring runners were all
within 40
seconds of each other led by Joey Norcia (8th; 16:17) and Kevin
Graves (9th;
16:21).
The Northern Region took the next six spots in the team scoring
with West
Springfield notching second with 127 points to finish just ahead
of Herndon's
third place total of 135. The Hornets were followed by Westfield
(189),
Robinson (200), Oakton (248) and Langley (260) in the fourth through
seventh
spots with the only notable absence among region teams not competing
from the
top ranked squad of Jefferson.
The boys race for the individual title was not expected to be very
close
with three time AA state champion and two time Foot Locker National
Finalist
Bobby Lockhart in the field and the Handley senior left no doubt
shortly
after the opening gun. Lockhart had a thirty yard lead after the
first half
mile, blitzed through the mile mark in 4:29 and hit the two mile
mark in 9:24
with a thirty second lead before finishing up in 15:03 to break
former West
Springfield star Sharif Karie's 1995 record of 15:05.
Ben Stern of Georgetown Day was the closest pursuer behind Lockhart
for
most of the race and finished in the runnerup spot for the second
year in a
row, this time at 15:47. Oakton senior Phil Gaeta ran in third for
most of
the race but was overtaken on the final downhill straight by Herndon
junior
Rasheed Thompson as Thompson placed third (15:52) and Gaeta fourth
(15:54).
The next region finisher was West Springfield junior Jeff Day as
he led the
Spartan's runnerup team position with his tenth place finish in
16:22. The
region also had the next six spots behind Day in Langley's Billy
Bylund
(11th;16:23), Herndon's number two runner Mike Dominguez (12th;
16:24), Lee
sophomore Robert Longoria (13th; 16:25), Hayfield junior Kevin Camp
(14th;
16:30), junior Brian Buckland leading Westfield's fourth place team
finish
(15th; 16:31) and West Springfield's Bryan Will as the number two
runner for
the Spartans (16th; 16:33).
