40'00" The Region II meet. Whether it was the long drive, or meet
management glitches, valley track athletes look to the state
meet with higher expectations. Many Valley competitors finished 7th or
8th in a six place meet... frustrating to say the
least. Bright spots for the Valley were the
large number of runner-up and third places with several PRs
mixed in. Fort Defiance's Girls had breakthroughs in
the 4x100 Relay and the Discus with Katie
Cummings 111' throw. In the boys meet Turner Ashby's Matt
Brunk had a big day PR'ing in both the shot put and the
discus. The Virginia State AA Championships are
next at JMU Friday Night and Saturday Morning
Events.
