2008 Boys and Girls Highlights Thus Far:
All of the highlights in 2008 have thus far been produced by the girls, led by Roosevelt High School's new Usa high school narrative of 8:43.12 in the 4x800-Meter Relay, breaking the current 8:50.41 record. Roosevelt is located in Greenbelt (Md). Think for a moment about how difficult it would be to find 4 girls on a high school track team that could average less than 2:11 for the 800-meter run.
Second best endeavor comes from Jordan Hasay of Mission Prep in San Luis Obispo (Ca). Hasay has run 4:17.46 for the 1,500 Meter and has run two races faster at the same distance in 2007. The Usa high school narrative for the 1,500 is 4:16.6, less than a second away.
Will she set a new Usa high school record? The odds say yes. She also has the current best times nationally in the 3,000-Meter and 3,200-Meter runs as well. She has to be the premier girls high school middle distance runner in the country.
Rachel Laurent of Vanderbilt Catholic High School in Houma (La) is only 1.25 inches shy of matching the Usa high school narrative of 14-feet-1.25 inches in the pole vault. Her best height so far is 14-feet even. Can she set the national record? I say yes, she can.
Watch out for Hannah Carson of Rhodes Junior High School in Mesa (Az). She has thrown the javelin 167-feet-11-inches to set a new Usa high school freshman record. The national narrative is 176-feet-5-inches. Wow, she has an improbable opportunity to garner a national narrative before she graduates from high school.
We will keep you posted on the final 2008 results after the high school district and state meet competitions are held. I am sensing some more new national records from these superior young women.
