T.C.
Williams Invitational
Sheena Johnson, Rickey Harris light it up in Virginia
Dwight Thomas did not run, but he was not missed as Sheena
Johnson, Rickey Harris, and a host of others provided enough heroics for two big meets.
Gar-Field VA sr Johnson won five events, including two that required same day prelims, and became the fifth fastest high school girl ever in the 300m hurdles with a blazing 40.74 time, more than 3 seconds ahead of the runner-up. That put Johnson #1 in the US on the DyeStat Elite rankings, ahead of the great Lashinda Demus, Long Beach Wilson CA jr who was the 1999 Girls Athlete of the Year. Demus in turn has two of the times ahead of Johnson on the all-time 300m list. This story is obviously not over, as Demus is openly shooting to beat the US record of 40.18 (Leslie Maxie, Millbrae CA, 1984).
The rest of Johnson's day went like this: 11.99, 14.16, 18-4, and 39-3.5.
Meanwhile, Rickey Harris was almost as outstanding on the boys side. The Centreville jr shook off the shoulder injury suffered a week ago in the Penn Relays and won three events by big margins: 200m (21.22), 400m (47.06, a margin of 0.78), and 110h (13.89, a margin of 0.52).
Three boys who chased Harris got their own wins in other
events. Oxon Hill MD sr David Driggers, 22.31 in the
200, won the 100 in 10.54. Surratsville MD jr Jerod Void,
14.41 in the 110 hurdles, won the 300m hurdles in 38.63.
Northwestern MD sr Dwayne Thomas, 48.08 third in the 400, won the
800 in 1:52.92.
Dwayne's brother Dwight, US and Pan Am Junior sprint
champion, was entered in both the 100 and 200, but did not run. It
would have been his first competition representing a high school in more
than a year.
Heritage VA boys moved to US#5 in the 4x400 relay
with a 3:14.93 victory.
The girls events saw a flock of other top
performances. Campbell County WY jr Alicia Craig, in town
for a wedding, solidified her US#5 ranking in the 3200 meters with a
32-second victory in 10:40.30. Jr Tysha Colon, of H.D.
Woodson in Washington DC, had daylight over a stellar field in the 200
meters in 24.04 US#5. (Alyssa Aiken 24.19, Teyarnte Carter 24.21,
and Chiquita Stevens 24.48). Stevens got her wins as the Largo
MD girls doubled in the short relays: 46.35 US#6 and 3:58.30.
Hayfield VA sr Nikeya Green doubled easily in 2:15.94 and
5:08.54. Hayfield also got a throws double as sr India Odum went
39-3.5 and 45-8.75. Long Reach MD sr Cynthia Nicholls got 5-9 for
one of the best girls HJ marks of the season.

by Jessica Edwards 10-6 and Kacie Petropoulos 10-6. Daum is

a couple of years ago and has led the campaign to get girls PV sanctioned

the 3200 and teammate Peter Cioni 4:13.2 and Tim Keller 4:14.4 on the
1600.
Karen Freberg 50-10.25
- San Luis Obispo CA jr breaks 50' barrier with a bang - 5 of 6

Two NE state records in
8 days for Brian Turner The Omaha NE sr added a 1:50.82
800 meters 5/2 in the Metro Conference championships to go with his 4:10.8 1600m at the Millard South
Invitational 4/25.

Rockford's second place 4x800 relay (7:52.60), Ritz destroyed the 3200

Honor Roll by

-
OR - Centennial
Invitational
This meet featured a great boys 3000 meter race. The top 16 in the field all finished under 9:00
min, with Ian Dobson and Noel Paulson within a
second of each other. Dobson won in 8:18.16 and Paulson was 2nd in 8:18.72. (about 21
seconds ahead of the next finishers).
The weather was perfect, clear and cool. Dobson took the early lead
at the front of a pretty tight pack. At around a mile he began to lengthen the lead slowly followed by Kyle Robinson and Chris Clancy.
With around 800m to go Paulson left the chase pack and began moving up,
from about 20 or so meters behind Dobson. Paulson was right on Dobson's
heels over the last 300m with the two running stride-for-stride, but
it's pretty tough to run down somebody like Ian. The times for their
final lap were 61 seconds for Dobson and 60 for Paulson.
These turned out to be the 3rd and 5th all-time fastest high school 3000m ever run in
Oregon and a PR for both.. Paulson broke the Oregon 3A record by 6 seconds.
The Oregon State Meet may see more records fall as US#3 Eric Logsdon
joins these US#1 Dobson and US#2 Paulson, although Paulson runs in a
different class..
