Statesmen shine under the Lights

Once a year the Nike invitational goes under the light and for many on the team it a chance to shine and take the spotlight. For the distance runners it is a special treat because it is well known that they run better in cool weather. The only time the distance group gets that opportunities are either at Districts, regional or of course Nike invitational under the lights.

Junior Joe Gerner unfortunately will be missing the District and more than likely the regional championships, so had to take advance of the perfect weather. From the start of the 3200m race, Gerner settle into his traditional running from the front style and came though the first mile in 5:14. Joe would keep pushing the pace, running smoothly and confidentially. He was joined by a runner from Westfield who pushed him the last 200m to super race and personal best by nearly 20 seconds. Freshman Logan Hirka following the great pace set by Gerner dropped nearly 12 seconds from his personal best to dip below the 11 minute mark for the 3200m.

Earlier in the day it was sophomore Alexander “AJ” Norton who pulling out a bag of surprise when he busted out in the heats of the 1600m run. Norton was not slated to run the race but got his chance when the three seniors schedule to compete was a no show. AJ took advantage of the perfect weather under the lights to lead most of the race and dropped nearly 30 seconds off his personal best and dip under the 5 minute mark for the event.

Junior Courtney Herbolsheimer consistence, competitiveness and leadership sometime get over looked because she always perform to the best of her ability each meet, every time she stepped on the track. Herbolsheimer running against some of the best runners in the state of Virginia recorded a personal best winning her heat of the 800m run and came within 0.42 of her personal best in the 1600m run. The 1600m race produced three automatic state qualifiers and the best time in the state this year. Senior Nicole Merriless record a seasonal best in the 800m by nearly 15 seconds.

Junior Brittany Johnson’s competitor in the regional got to be hating on her. In her two final events of the day, she let her competitors think they had a won only to snatch the gold medal at the end. In the 200m dash, a Washington and Lee runner flew by Johnson out the blocks but she forgot it the race was 200m meets not 20 meters. So with 100m meters to go – Johnson turned on the after burns to win her second straight invitational 200m dash. The long jump final was right after the 200m dash, so Johnson was spent but she was sitting in third place and need to pull it out the bag again. Her first two jumps did nothing to improve her standing, so after gathering herself, taking her time, Johnson run down the runway on her final jump and left the tape do it thing and record her fourth long jump win in as many invitational this season.

Junior Meara Goss has been struggle to find the form she expected this season but the results still showed that she is one of the best in the regional. Event though her mark is not where she wants it, Goss has medaled in each invitational this season – tonight under the lights she won two more – taking 4^th in the shot put and discus.

The Statesmen has two meets before the district championship and this will be considered battle week – get to the top three in your event or hit the Lettering, District, regional or state standard or your season is over.

Brittany Johnson wins four events set three meet records.

The Statesmen 2009 spring track and field season has been a series of crazy happenings and unpredictability’s much like the weather. So finally the weather cooperated and so did the Statesmen. The sun came out and the stars of the team came out led by three established leaders’ juniors Brittany Johnson and Meara Goss and sophomore Courtney Herbolsheimer.

Junior Brittany Johnson sweep the all the jumping events at the Liberty District championship during the indoor season and based on her dominating performance at the 4^th Heritage High School/LoudounPrepSports.com Invitational. Johnson won the triple jump, the 100m and 200m dash – all in new meet records and for good measures she won the long jump and finished 3^rd in the high jump. Her victory in the 100m dash automatically qualified her for the Virginia AAA State championship, qualified for the Northern regional championship with her 200m victory and the Liberty District championship in the triple jump, long jump and high jump.

Sophomore Courtney Herbolsheimer had a challenge day starting with an early morning soccer match and then rushing down to Heritage to compete. She paid the price in the 1600m run but rebounded nicely to secure a medal in the 800m run.

Junior Meara Goss has been having an up and down season but with the warm weather comes higher expectations and better performance. Goss seem to be on the road to another successful season – grabbing a medal in the shot put competition.

Senior Geoff Barnes has shown flashes of brilliance and once again there were flashes at the LoudounPrepSports.com Invitational. Barnes achieved two big personal best in the 100m and 200m including an automatic Liberty District championship qualifier.

Youth also served notice with freshman Logan Hirka and Abigail Hodges stepped up and improve their standing on the team. Hirka took over 2^nd place on the team in the 3200m, dipping under the 11 minute mark; he is also ranked #2 in the 1600m. Hodges dropped into the faster section of the 100m and 200m as a late replacement, took the opportunity to grab the #2 ranking in the 100m dash.

Statesmen Concluded Winter Season at State Championship

If, Fairfax County budget cuts has it way it could be the last season for indoor track and field for a while. The Statesmen team made sure it was one of their most successful seasons in nine (9) seasons. The final four members of the team completed the season at the VA AAA state meet in Hampton, VA – Boo Williams Sports Complex.

Junior Brittany Johnson finished an impressive season finishing top 15 in all three of the jumping events that she qualified for the State meet. Johnson’s season included three District titles, two District silver medals, one regional silver medal and one regional bronze medal.

Junior Meara Goss has the highest finish for the Statesmen improving her 13^th place finish last year to make the finals in the women’s shot put. Goss placed 9^th in the finals just missing out a State medal by one place. Goss’s wonderful season include her second straight indoor shot put title, a silver medal regional medal and the Statesmen’s #2 ranking.

Every season you get someone who comes out of left field make you go wow!!! This season it senior Nicole Brown and man was she impressive. When the season started we thought was going to be a very good high jumper after clearing 4ft 8in at the first meet. Brown was not even an average hurdler and shot putting was not even in her future. The hurdling was changed on one impressive showing at the first invitation when she dropped over a second from her personal best and the performances as gotten better and better. Throughout this successful season Brown would collect a District runner up, regional bronze medal and her final race would be personal best to close the season. Nicole’s shot putting started when she was asked to try and get a mark for the District championship and it would end up with her in the state meet. First she collected an impressive bronze medal at the District title and two weeks later blow the competition out the circle by taking a surprising bronze at the regional championship, qualifying for the State meet. For the season Brown competed in 43 events, quite impressive because most people would compete on the team for four season and times would not get to compete in that many events.

Senior Aaron Anderson could not have imagined at the beginning of the season that he would be in the State championship. But, it’s amazing what hard work, dedication and believing and betting on yourself can do for you. Unless it happens to you it hard to explain how just one thing can change your outlook on life and your future. After never running the 55m hurdle in his life and end the season with the school record. One season, three short months can make you believe all things are possible. Anderson concluded a season with a bronze medal at the District title, a fourth place at the regional championship and broke the school record three times.

The spring season is upon us and we expect more athletes continued on the journey to join these leaders at the outdoor state meet in Newport News. We will be looking for some surprises and leaders to lead us back. We want to thank the coaches, Darrell General, Mindy Harman, Jose Portillo and Theodore Robinson. Also, thanks to all the parents who have showed their support throughout the season.

Lady Statesmen finished 3^rd at District with only 4 scorers

After Day one of the Liberty District championship, the Lady Statesmen sat in first place by three points. It was a big surprised but it was definitely on the radar because this season was theme, Return to Glory. A week before the championship, the wild card athlete had to drop off the team to work on her grades – so the goals of winning the title when from possible slim to none. But, we had a nothing theme, “Small School, Big Heart” and during the Day one – the heart of the champion would not stop beating as the team grab three (3) individual titles and first place. On day two, the only way to win the title was by perfection – the numbers just not in our favor. However, heart only just was not enough on day two as the numbers was just too much, event one, two and three sealed our fate. As the big school ranked up 30 points before we were able to grab 3 points. Woodson was impressive in winning the 4x2, 1000m and 500m before we took 5^th and 6^th in the 1000m and 500m dash respectively. The Statesmen did mount a comeback when by winning an individual title and grabbing another runner up to collect 18 more points to finish an impressive 3^rd place in the team title with only four athletes scoring points.

Junior Brittany Johnson grab another District title by winning the triple jump title to make a clean sweep in the jumps. Johnson added to the high and long jump crown won on Day one. She also ran a surprising and unexpected 300m dash to winning the slow section and grab a silver medal in the event.

Senior Nicole Brown continued her impressive winter track experience by qualifying in her third event for the regional championship (500m dash) and was the last athlete to miss making the finals in the triple jump after improving her personal best by over two feet.

Sophomore Courtney Herbolsheimer booked her place in her second event for the 2^nd year in a row for the regional championship. Herbolsheimer improved her personal best by over four seconds to take 5^th in the 1000m.

Overall the girl’s team placed 3^rd with 74 points and the boy’s placed 7^th with 18 points (we beat Stone Bridge by 18 points).

Liberty District Day One - Four District Titles won; Lady Statesmen in first place

The season was theme “Return to Glory” and after the first day of the Liberty District championship at the Prince George’s Sports and Learning complex, the Marshall Statesmen track and field team sure looks like their pushing to accomplish that mission. Two years ago, it took the extra ordinary efforts by a same group of 11 girls to win the District title and this year, the numbers are less as it will take the efforts of mainly 6 girls to pull that feat off. After day one of the championship, we at least have hope as the Lady Statesmen holds a slim three (3) point lead over W.T. Woodson behind some impressive performances.

Women – Team Rankings – 7 Events Scored

Marshall – 53
Woodson, W.T. – 50
Jefferson S&T – 39
McLean – 26
Langley – 18
South Lakes – 17
Madison - 14

Junior Brittany Johnson accounted for 28 of the 53 team points by grabbing two Liberty District titles in the Long jump and the High Jump. Johnson studying under the quiet leadership of sometimes forgotten coach Theodore Robinson have continues to excel in the pits. Robinson recognized her talents long before she got to Marshall and because of his belief in her which has brought her to this place. Johnson tried to hide her emotion of finally winning a jumping title indoors after losing out last year on misses. She added the Long jump title win her first jump and personal best for good measures. However, Johnson could not repeat as 55m dash District champion but grab a silver medal and 8 points for her effort. Her lost ended an impressive streak of five (5) straight 55m titles by a Lady Statesmen (Jacqueline Hargrove (2004, 2005, 2006), Shannon McVey (2007) and Brittany Johnson (2008).

So many times, we’ve seen clear favorites come into a meet expecting to win and those dreams get dashed, junior Meara Goss will not fall into the category, as she collected another Liberty District title in an impressive domination of the completion. From the very first throw, the crown to hand to the defending champion as she put it out of reach with a personal best, 34ft throw. Meara would improve a final throw another foot and just missed getting the school record but it was walk in the park for the defending champion. Goss won the event by over three feet and look to be in position to make a return to the Virginia AAA State meet.

Senior Alexander “Lex” Suares had his share of missteps and misfortune this season and his career but he still knows when it comes to the Liberty District and Statesmen throwing, we owned the circle. Saures knowledge of the Statesmen tradition enforced by the meet record holder his coach Jose Portillo got him ready for the District champs. This year like so many season, a Statesmen dominated the field to win another District title for Marshall Throwing.

To say Senior Nicole Brown is naturally gifted athlete is an understatement. There isn’t one sport which Brown has tired where she did not excelled, track and field was no different. Nicole came into the 55m hurdle competition ranked #1 and fully expected to qualify for the regional championship and hopefully taking home a title in her first and final championship. However, this is District championship and everyone was hungry, so despite an automatic regional qualified, a huge personal best – Brown, picked up an impressive silver medal in her first and only Liberty District track and field meet. What was not expected was for Brown to do anything in the Shot put competition however like we said – this is District competition and with her first throw, we knew it was going to be a special meet. Nicole would improve her mark by over seven (7) feet to surprise the competition and take an impressive bronze medal in the shot put.

Sophomore Courtney Herbolsheimer hard work started long time ago in the summer, throughout an impressive cross-country season and so far a wonderful indoor season. District champs was expected to be quite a telling definition of the season, Herbolsheimer knew it was going to be tough because the Liberty District over the last few years has produced some wonderful distance runners. However, when you study under a great General (Maine Corp, Hall of Famer, Darrell General), you can expect to be prepared for war. Thus, Courtney was ready for the battle as the race started and everyone was pushing the pace. Everyone stayed even for five laps and then the race got hotter and Herbolsheimer kept jockeying for position and did not realize how fast she was going. When she crossed the line and looked up at the clock the moment was realized, not only had she qualified for regional two years in a row, but she had significantly lower her personal best by over six seconds.

In athletics and in life some people are blessed with talent and things are giving to them. For others, that have talent they have to work for it and earn whatever is given to them. Senior Aaron Anderson has come a long way from four year ago and he has come a long way from a year ago. This year, Anderson was given a mission by his new hurdle Coach Mindy Harman, he was asked to do some things and he responded like true champions always do. He was asked to give himself a chance to be successful and accept the gifts and responsibilities of his talent. Most on the team has one maybe two coaches on coat tail riding, he had four but his true character and ability to accept the challenge did withered under the pressure. The turning point of the season had to be when he took his leadership role too far by switching the order of the relays but his response when Coach General brought down the hammer of disciple (that mean 250 push ups) was like a true leader, he did it without complaint or argument because he accepted the fact he and only he was responsible for his action.

So, it was understandable when Anderson got emotional when going up against national and state ranked hurdler Vince Brown and he did not win. While he accomplished the goal to reaching the regional championship (bronze medal and personal best), Aaron knew the hard work he put in the season and felt losing to anyone was not good enough. While the coaches and teammates felt he did wonderful, while everyone sees that he had come a long way from four year ago and one year ago, the heart of a champion is not satisfied until, he is champion. For good measures, Anderson jumped 19ft for the first time in his life to be the last to miss the finals. But, the hard work and journey continues with a new mission be champion and get to Hampton.

The championship concludes next Thursday, Feb. 5^th, 2009 in Landover, Maryland.

Liberty District - Day One

By Pearl Watts on Milestat.com

The South Lakes boys and Marshall girls squads hold a slight edge in the team scoring after the first day of the Liberty District championships held at the Prince George's Sports and Learning Complex in Landover, MD on Thursday, January 29.

South Lakes has had the oustanding performer of the four districts within the Northern Region thus far in Vince Brown.
The Seahawks senior was a triple winner in the space of about an hour and a half as he posted personal bests and region leading marks with state meet qualifying victories in the long jump (22-1.5) the 55 meter hurdles (7.46) and the 55 dash (6.42); with the hurdle and dash performances also establishing new meet records.

Brown's exploits propelled South Lakes to the first day lead by the slimmest of margins as the Seahawks compiled 58 points.
Jefferson is right there with South Lakes at 57 points as they posted a field event win from senior Dan Markwalter in the pole vault (12-6) and received a 1-2 finish on the track from seniors Timmy Galvin (4:33.73) and Colin Maloney (4:35.72) in the 1,600 run.

The other wins on the boys side came from Marshall senior Lex Saures in the shot put (44-3.75) and McLean's 4x800 relay squad with their victory in 8:26.79.

The Marshall girls hold the lead at 53 points with more than half their points provided by senior Brittany Johnson as she won both the long jump (16-8.5) and high jump (5-2) as well as finishing second in the 55 dash at 7.65, with South Lakes senior Lachelle Wallace winning the event easily in a state auto qualifier of 7.39.

Woodson holds a firm second place spot with 50 points and had victories from sophomore Tiffany Reed in the 55 hurdles (9.24) and junior Erica Howes with a strong second half surge in the 1,600 run (5:13.14).

Marshall picked up another first place after junior Meara Goss claimed the shot put (35-4.5) and the same Langley quartet of Carolyn Shaw, Jill Canning, Amanda Steffy and Lauren Shaw won the 4x800 relay for the second year in a row; this time at 9:45.44.

The Liberty District Championship finishes up on Thursday February 5th at the P.G. Complex and will be held in conjunction with the final day of the Concorde District Championships with field events at 4:00 p.m. and running events starting at 5:00 p.m.

Statesmen excel during the winter break

Three weeks, three invitational track and field meets and three trips to the Liberty District championship site really allowed the Statesmen to shine. During the three week period, one state qualification was obtain by junior Brittany Johnson, seven (7) regional qualifiers where obtain, twenty-five (25) District marks were achieved and fifty (50) letter were earned.

While most people took off during the holiday break, Senior Aaron Anderson and Nicole Brown looked at it as an opportunity to improve their district and regional status. Anderson known more as a 300m hurdler was convinced to try the shorter hurdle event to work on his technique has really taken a love for the event. Each week, his performances has gotten better, achieving the regional qualifying mark three (3) times, collecting a 4^th place medal at the Southern Mega Meet, the #3 district ranking, #7 regional ranking and #35 state ranking. Anderson was challenged to improve his strength in the longer spirit and he again rose to the challenge achieving the Liberty District qualifier in the 500m dash twice.

Nicole Brown has tried almost every sport Marshall has to offer including golf, volleyball, field hockey, soccer and her #1 love lacrosse. Brown finally tried track and field this year and she has excelled in it with lighting speed. During the break, she hit the Liberty District qualifier twice (2) and has moved to the #1 district and #7 regional ranking in the 55m hurdles. Like Anderson, Brown was challenged in the 500m dash and she also excelled – grabbing the district qualifier, #3 district ranking, #13 Regional ranking, #38 State ranking and #67 National ranking.

With all the impressive performances the past three weeks, only one athlete has the distinction of achieving a district qualifier at each meet she has competed during the break. Sophomore Courtney Herbolsheimer completed that feat in the last three weekends in the 1000m (3:17.34), 1600m (5:32.39) and the 3200m (12:21.88). Herbolsheimer is ranked top 10 in the District; top 35 in distance loaded regional and top 60 in the state.

Junior Brittany Johnson continue to have impressive performances at the sports and learning complex achieving a state qualifier in the high jump, a regional qualifier in the 55m dash and district qualifier in the long jump. Johnson is currently holds the #1 district ranking in the long jump and high jump, she is ranked #2 in the 55m dash. In the high jump, Johnson has the impressive ranking of #1 district, #2 region, #10 state and #38 nationally.

Senior Alexander “Lex” Saures and junior Meara Goss missed one meet each during the three weeks but they showed know effects when they returned for the Southern Maryland Mega meet. Both improved on their #1 Liberty District ranking with Saures achieving a northern regional qualifier, losing out at the meet only to the #1 ranked regional ranked thrower from Stuart. It has been a wonderful return for Saures after taking off his junior year. Goss seem to have gotten over the injuries from earlier in the season as she improved her District mark while earning two medals at the invitationals she competed over the break.

Seniors John Peterman and Lucas Rooney has taking their leadership duties directly to the track. Peterman on a mission to qualify for the regional championship has improved his mark in the 500m dash each time he has stepped on the track. Even with a two week layoff from practicing, Peterman still managed to achieve a personal best and district qualifier. Rooney has stepped up his game and the success is coming in strides as including a big personal best and district qualifier in the 3200m run this past weekend. He also is a staple on the 4x800m and 4x400m relay team and has led his young distance crew some promising performances.

The future looks bring as the young guns has stepped up, most impressively are the performances by the Ritter brothers, Gabriel and Nicholas. Each week one or the other has stepped and represented the family proudly. Week one it was young Nicholas as he lowed his personal best nearly 15 seconds in the 1000m. Week two, Nicholas again stepped up and lowered his personal best in the 1600m nearly 22 seconds but Gabriel also go into the act, lowering his 1000m personal best by nearly 12 seconds to dip below the 3 minute mark. Week three, Gabriel took the spotlight running an impressive final lap, he lowered his personal best in the 1600m by over 22 seconds, Nicholas also achieved a personal best in the 3200m run – they closed the invitational week for the team by running on the 4x200m relay with Rooney and senior Sam Hagopian, it was seasonal best for the team.

The selection of the District championship comes down to two more meets on Jan. 10^th and Jan. 17^th. There will be some spirited battles as the full team return from break and fight for a return trip to the Prince George’s Sports and Learning complex later in the month. Special thanks to all the coaches for their hard work and the athletes for giving up their break to compete and parents for all their support.

District champions collect wins to open the season.

Junior Virginia AAA All State high jumper Brittany Johnson started the season where left off, clearing 5ft 2in. However, in stead of George Mason, it was Thomas Jefferson Middle school and instead of taking 6^th, it was a winning the event. While the State meet certainly should not be held on the same level as a quad meet, for Johnson it signifies the continuing of the road to be a state champion. The height is significant because it was the final height cleared last season and she matched it to start the season, its like getting 30 more jumps to see how high she can get. Johnson not forgetting she is the defending Liberty District 55m dash champion, she won her new specialty (500m dash) in a personal best.

Fellow junior and defending Liberty District shot put champion Meara Goss has been fighting injuring to start the season, hardly getting to practice as she would like but it’s hard to stop a warrior. Goss looking to getting back to the State championship meet didn’t let the pain and lack of enough practice to affect her performance as she dominate the competition winning by over three feet in a Liberty District championship qualifier.

It’s been a long road back for 2007 VA AAA State finalist Alexander “Lex” Saures since his last full season. His life has been filled with challenges and questions however, the last time full season he was in the circle, he left a District champion. Saures hope things has come full circle and he is on way back to reclaiming what is owed to him. Saures and Goss reminded Statesmen fans of season 2000 – 2001 when Marshall had too dominating throwers by the name of Culbreath and Barham. That season ended at the state championship for both Marshall Athlete of the Year. Saures won his event and qualified for the Liberty District championship.

It is amazing what happens when you set goals and go after them, Senior John Peterman hope that lesson learned on the first meet of the season will results in success. Step one was taken and achieved with precision as Peterman goal was to hit his best mark from last season at the first meet. Running a smooth first 300m, Peterman excelled on the final lap with ease and control to hit his desire goal, mission accomplish.

Sophomore Courtney Herbolsheimer coming off of a MVP cross-country season which reinforced her wonderful freshman year which saw her qualify for the Northern Regional championship. Getting off to a great start is important to preparing for the expected battle in the distance heavy Liberty District. Herbolsheimer got a taste of the battle early with Jefferson, McLean, Langley and South Lakes and came out tested and rewarded. As she place 2^nd in the 1600m run and won the 1000m very close to her personal best but miles ahead of last season’s pace.

Senior Nicole Brown’s track career should have started three year ago, but when you’re an All-Star lacrosse player – you can get pre-occupied. Brown started her season with a bang placing 2^nd in the 500m dash and clearing 4ft 8in in the high jump to take 3^rd in the event. She is also an up and coming hurdler.

The expectation for the season was really up in the air, the reality is the coaching staff is still getting to know the student-athletes and the student-athletes are getting use to the staff. What’s most important is the season is started and now we can work to improve the team. All together there where sixty-five (69) personal best achieved, thirteen (13) letter gained, three (3) District championship qualifier, one Regional and one State championship qualifier.

Hargrove close out wonderful high school career at States

Senior Jacqueline Hargrove finished her high school career with two state medal from the indoor championship. However, she was left disappointed as once again - she finished two spots out of the medal for a second straight year at the outdoor championship. Hargrove finished a very respectable 10th in the AAA meet after posting a time of 58.74.

Freshman Brittany Johnson looked to be in great position take over the reins finished 30th in the 100m and failed to clear a height in the high jump after the opening was raised to 5ft 2in. Johnson will look to continue the Statesmen presense at the State championship and follow in the footsteps of Ms. Hargrove. Who is off to Manhattan College in New York on a full scholarship in track and field. Her next goal is to qualify for the USA track and field trials and the Olympic games in 2008.

Good luck Jackie and good season everyone. See you next year......maybe.

Johnson shines at Regional

--Hargrove disqualified after winning heats.

In a sign of the changing of the guards, freshman Brittany Johnson took up the mantle and stepped into the spotlight as senior Jacqueline Hargrove literately past the torch after been disqualified for stepping on the line on the curve during her qualifying 400m race. Johnson has been getting better and better each meet after battling some injuries and overload of school work. While her school work has gotten lesser as the semester grew near, her workload on the track has increase and its paying dividend. The signs of her improved work habit and improvement showed flashes at the District Championship, when she led for most of the 100m race before losing at the end. There were to be no such repeat as Johnson was the hunter, first coming from behind to finish in a dead even tie for first place in the heats. In the final, she again has to come from behind and this time, second wasn’t an option as she was running from the slow section and need to win to ensure a place to the State championship. Like her fearless leader, after winning the slow second of 100m final in a personal best (12.80), Johnson because only the 2^nd freshman in seven (7) years to qualify for the State championship.

For most people, one event would be enough but no, Johnson like Hargrove her freshmen wanted more. Hargrove had qualified her first year in the 200m and 400m dash, Johnson’s opportunity was in the high jump. After runner up performance at the Liberty District champs, she had to be confident and it showed as she cleared the open height with ease and did the same at 4ft 10in. She also gains some sense of satisfaction as the District championship fail to clear that height. Johnson would not clear another height but equaling her personal best was good enough to secure a 4^th place finish and a second event at the State meet.

Senior Jacqueline Hargrove’s removal from her final regional championship left one dream unfulfilled – winning a regional title. Three times Hargrove finished second, with two coming lost coming in dramatic fashion as she lost the indoor triple jump title back in 2005 by a quarter of an inch on the final attempt and this winter she lost the 500m dash title after leading for most of the race at the line. The event was hers to lose after coming into the meet with over a second advantage over the next competitor who she defeated handedly at District. Hargrove seem to be on the winning to collecting the missing title after she had won the heats with the fastest time (58.33) with the closest competitors more than a second behind (59.70). However, the rules only allowed two steps on the line while running the curve with anything over resulting in an automatic disqualification from the event and Hargrove was charged with taking four consecutive steps. While it didn’t impede or would have made a difference based on the times posted, the officials made the judgment call with no coach’s protest allowed.

Sophomore Alexander “Lex” Saures is a fighter and warrior but there are limits and the number is 9. Nine is the number of people that goes to finals in the discus, unfortunately Saures need one more practice session, one more turn at the circle, one more weight lifting session, one more (you complete) because it all come down to one more place and 3 inches. No athlete wants to be number 10 or number 6 @ District; unfortunately Lex would have to use it as motivation for next year. As if one heartbreak was not enough, Lex has the displeasure of finishing two spots out of the finals for the shot put event. It was a tough semester for Alexander and with some hard work especially with his school work, next year will be much better.

Junior Oscar Olazo just can’t seem to get a break with it comes to regional championship, last year he finished 8^th and ticks away from the State championship. This year it looked to be different as Olazo took the leader the first lap of the 800m run and seem to put himself in place for a run at the championship. But, this year the competition was stronger and the battle was fierce but put till the end and finished a respectable 11^th in the event, motivation for next year!!!!!!!!!!!!

Freshman Meara Goss is the future of Marshall throwing and her place at the State meet will be a staple of the program. However, it was not to be this year, after creating a fire storm this year by winning four District meets and taking a bronze medal at the District Championship, Goss showed she is ready and her future in this season is bright.

Junior Ann-Elise Gustavsen unfortunately will not be able to continue her progress from this year as she will be return back home for her senior year. Gustavsen started the year trying to sprint and was asked to try throwing. Unhappy but respectfully she try it and it was all over from there, as she feel in love with the event. It was all come full circle at the indoor District meet with she finished 6^th to qualify for the regional champs. In the spring the take seem impossible as Gustavsen came in ranked 7^th in the finals but on her final throw she increased her personal best by one foot to reach her second regional championship – even though she did not like the results, it was a wonderful experience. Hope she continues her throwing when she returns home.

Sophomore Chandler Dennison had the season going just the way she like it, she had qualified for the District in the 200m, 400m & 800m run and ready to take it to the next level. Dennison had just run a relay PR in the 4x800m and then things took a turn for the worst. She got hurt in the open 800m the meet before District and things haven’t got right since. Even though she was a warrior and ran with courage, even the “Gladiator – Russell Crowe (2002)” – could not overcome injuries. Dennison will look to get health and be ready to take over the leadership role left by the departure of the seniors.

Junior Lance Cheng has been battle injures all season and it hampered his ability to improve on his wonderful indoor season. His performances have been consistence through the season and the regional championship was no different. Cheng ran close to his personal best and can feel accomplished and encouraged for next year.

Hargrove repeats as District Champion

-Saures (2), Goss, Johnson (2), Dennison, Gustavan, Cheng, Olazo qualifies for Regional.

Senior Jacqueline Hargrove won her 13^th and final Liberty District crown at Thomas Jefferson High School. Hargrove’s school and meet record in the 400m dash was as dominating as her four years in the District which saw her finished no worst than 3^rd in ever individual events. In total Hargrove won 29 medal in four years of District competition including gold medals in the 55m dash (3), 400m (2), 200m (2), 300m (2), 100m, Long Jump, shot put and 4x400m and silver medals in the 55m, 100m, 400m, High Jump, Long jump (3) and triple jump (2).

In an impressive career that will continue next year at Manhattan College in New York City, Hargrove leaves to follow in her footsteps two wonderful freshman – Brittany Johnson and Meara Goss. Johnson will look to represent in the sprint and the jumps and look to be off to a great start – collecting a silver medal in the high jump and medaling and qualifying for the regional championship in the Long jump (6^th – 15ft ) and 100m (12.87 – 4^th). Goss continue to impress and continue her accent into the legacy of Marshall’s throwing tradition by capturing a bronze medal in her first District competition. Junior Ann-Elise Gustavsen improved on her 6^th place finish during the indoor season to move from 7^th to 4^th in the shot put of final.

Sophomore Chandler Dennison indoor season ended a tad bit too early just as she was gearing up to drop some times but the outdoor was shaping out to be her time until a injury at the last regular season meet threaten to take it all away. Dennison put it all behind her like the Warrior she is by running an impressive lead off leg on the 4x800m relay team and came back to do battle in the 800m race. Running behind one of the greatest distance runner in Liberty District W.T.Woodson Sarah Hadiji, Dennison picked her spot and then put in a great kick in the last 100m to place 5^th and secure her place at regional.

Coming into the final 150m of the 800m final, junior Oscar Olazo must have had to be thinking here comes my first District title but out of no where South Lakes senior Chris Webb came rumbling down the straightway and pushing Olazo back to his runner up spot for the second year in a row. Olazo meet wasn’t all good as he did not get his chance to compete in the 4x800m and 4x400m relay teams.

Junior Lance Cheng confirmed his place as a legit Liberty hurdle by making the final and qualifying for both the indoor and outdoor regional championship. Cheng meet wasn’t with out disappointment as he fail to make the finals of the triple jump and miss capturing the two season double after winning the indoor title.

Sophomore Alexander “Lex” Saures had the hardest road to the Liberty District championship as he had to battle elements outside of the circle so that he can return to competition. So without much practice under his belt, Saures picked up where he left off from the indoor season (when he qualified for the State championship) to qualify for the regional championship. Lex looked rusty as he could only muster just over 42ft in the shot put but was impressive in the discus as he threw over 120 feet for a career second best.

Junior William “Alex” Haugh had a wonderful championship by running a personal best in the 1600m run (4:41), a PR leg on the 4x800m (2:05) and finally ended the meet with a PR leg on the 4x400m relay team (54.8). Sophomore Patrick Sullivan dropped over 13 seconds off his personal best in the 3200m run and fellow sophomore Lisa Carter after completing her 200 push ups the night before dropped over two seconds off her personal best in the 800m.

Johnson medal to lead team at Northern VA Metro Run & Walk Invitational

--Eight achieved Liberty District qualifiers

Its always fun to watch freshman Brittany Johnson compete because she seem to be having so much fun but its even better to see the excitement and joy in her spirit when she wins. Johnson has a career day in her first spring track and field invitational as she collected three (3) District qualifiers and just missed another by three quarter of an inch. Johnson had personal best in all events she competed including a medal winning performance in the high jump. All together Brittany had Liberty District qualifiers (HJ – 4ft 10in, 100m – 13.38, 200m – 27.91) and personal best (LJ – 14ft 10in).

Sophomore Chandler Dennison had another impressive day to build on her first spring meet as she lowered her personal best and Liberty District mark in the 400m dash and picked up another District qualifier in the her first 200m dash of the season.

Senior Jacqueline Hargrove continues her gradual return to competition by achieving a Liberty District qualifier in the 800m run. Junior Oscar Olazo Nostades started his drive to the State championship by running a District qualifier in his signature event the 800m run. Freshman Akkarin Chorachaturaphak (the man with name – it great to listen to announcers try and say his name) continues to impress as he lowered his personal best in the 300m hurdles and achieved another District qualifier.

There is one goal that will have to wait until next year that’s competing at the Penn Relays in the 4x800m as the boy’s team missed achieving the required standard of 8:15.00 with an 8:23.96. It was a bitter sweet as the team picked up medals with a third place finish in the event but missed their required mark.

In the distance races, the future was on showcase as freshmen David Drago dropped over 16 seconds in the 3200m run, Thomas “Jace” Barrett dropped nearly 15 seconds in the 3200m run, Andrew Dickson dropped nearly 10 seconds in the 1600m run and Michael Burin dropped nearly 4 seconds in the 1600m. Sophomore Patrick dropped nearly 10 second off his personal best in the 3200m and Lucas Rooney dropped in same amount in the 1600m run.

Junior Liam Umek had two personal best in the 100m and 200m dash, junior Sara Bojo has two personal best in the 100m and 300m hurdles and junior Matthew Muise had two in the 200m and triple jump.

Saures, Goss wins throwing events @ McLean Tri-meet

As usually track and field meets at our neighborhood school are never without excitement and surprises. The completion of the meet has left us without clear result of who are the winners of the tri-meet section only the double dual meet.

The event that can be verified is Marshall throwing which is in full resurgent as for the second meet in a row sophomore Alexander “Lex” Saures won the discus and shot put event including another huge personal best in the discus. Saures look to be following in the foot steps of his coach (Jose Portillo) as he had to maneuver the usual cage setup to break the 125ft mark. Saures also won the shot put with another throw over 41ft.

Freshman Meara Goss look to be right in the middle of the return of Statesmen throwing when Assistant Director of Activities Joe Swarm ran the throwing circle and flashback to Carissa Culbreath (Class of 2003). Goss was impressive in her first meet take 2^nd in the shot put and discus. This week she improved over a foot in the shot put and won the event with a personal best of 27ft 4in.

While most of the seasonal runners where kept out of the meet, the younger runners had their chance to shine and they took advantage of their opportunities. Sophomore Allyse Golden achieved four lettering mark in the Long jump, triple jump and 200m dash, sophomore Aaron Anderson hit two lettering standards in the 300m hurdles and 100m dash, freshman Jace Barrett has two personal best including nearly 13 seconds off his 1600m personal best, also fellow freshmen Vincent McLeese and David Drago dropped thirteen (13) and (9) seconds off their 1600m best. Sophomore Daniel Bui coming back from early season setup picked up four personal in the Long and triple jump and 110m including over nine (9) seconds in 300m hurdles.

Hargrove wins State championship bronze medal in 500m

Senior Jacqueline Hargrove concluded a wonderful, unbelievable and finally rejoicing championship season. The Liberty District championship could not have been better which included three titles (shot put, 300m) and more importantly leading the Statesmen to their first indoor team crown in 11 years. The Northern regional championship was unbelievable because in the 500m provided the perfect opportunity for a regional title but a uncharacteristic race led to a unreal lost in the event.

It took two years for Hargrove to finally return where she belong as a State championship medalist. Like most of career accomplishment, Hargrove was never given anything – she had to work for it, this championship was no different. Coming into the meet ranked 7^th, she knew there was work to do. However, the hard work starting back in cross-country and displayed during the season made it confident that the task can be completed. After, her incredible race at the Northern Regional championship, some final touching up needed and it paid dividend. Running from the 2^nd to last heat, she was running against the clock and unlike last week, when she ran close to her personal best in her splits, Hargrove ran the perfect race and dropped over a second off her personal best (1:16.62 to 1:17.65). After the final heat was completed, Hargrove had improved on her 5^th place medal from 2004, broke her own school record, put the regional performance behind her and provide a perfect culmination to a wonderful high school Virginia State championship series and her indoor State career.

Fellow senior Shannon McVey had own incredible season and the highlight had winning the Liberty District 55m dash crown and being a prominent member of the District team title. Like Hargrove, McVey found herself in an unusual position recovering from the first false start of her career. Also, not on her side is lack of competition for three weeks but that didn’t seem to make a different as McVey rolled to her second fast time in the event. They only issue is it was at the VA State championship and her mark of 7.41 could not move her to the finals which required 7.34 to get in & to get left out.

This season was supposed to be an experimental season for sophomore Alexander “Lex” Saures in his first indoor season but like his size and heart, he had bigger dreams. He wanted to be ranked amount the Statesmen’s great throwing tradition and Saures took advance of the knowledge by his coach (another of the greatest Jose Portillo) and propelled it into a regional medal and State qualification in his first season. While the State meet turned out to be an experience, it should serve well for the spring version.

The indoor season will conclude next week with Hargrove and junior Oscar Olazo competing at Nike Nationals in Landover, Maryland.

Statesmen battles at Northern Regional

-Hargrove, McVey & Saures going to States champs.

It was a battle of the elements in the George Mason University field house as the Statesmen were involved in some familiar and unfamiliar situations. As usually senior Jacqueline Hargrove was the first up in the long jump and she is still trying to master the art of the toe board. But, like the champion she is Hargrove pull it out and sneaked into the final in 7^th place. That where she does her best work as Hargrove pulled out her best jump of the season to advance to the States championship for a fourth (4^th) straight season by a quarter of an inch (17ft 0.50in to 17ft 0.25in). The triple jump did not go so well as Hargrove this time was on the losing enough of the number as she missed the finals by less than two inches.

In the 500m dash, Hargrove came in ranked number one and expected to dominate the competition. However, her goals where bigger than a regional championship title, it was to run fast. So she decided to push the pace going out in 27.0, going through the 400m in 58.4 and was on pace for a very fast time but the last straightway did not cooperate. Hargrove would be nipped at the line and grabbed her third runner up in the regional championship.

Sophomore Alexander Saures can’t forget the historical tradition in Statesmen’s history. Everyday he is reminded in the form of his towering and multi championship decorated throwing Coach Jose Portillo. However, when Saures locked him self out of the throwing side of the field house, that historical journey seem to be in trouble as could not be found for the warm up and start of his flight. So, with no warm ups but sweating from running the most he’s done all season (200 meters), Saures stepped into the circle and added his name to the list. On his third and final throw of the trials, Lex broke the magical 45ft barrier and put himself in prime position to make States. But, he had to wait, twelve more throwers had to be given their chance. Only four took up the challenge as the first step was complete, making the finals. Each of the nine competitors were given three more throwers but now improved and the journey was complete, Saures was going to the States championship, following in the footsteps of his coach and mentor.

It’s hard being a distance runner in state of Virginia especially in the Northern Region, sophomore Tara Cappiello ran an personal best and school record in winning her heat of the 1000m but it wasn’t good enough even crack the top 10 as nine runners dripped under the 3:10 mark with the top six achieving the state standard. Junior Oscar Olazo also had the unfortunate situation of having a bad race at the wrong time. He was bumped and blocked up through out and he could not get into his race.

Freshman Brittany Johnson took advance of her first regional championship to gain some valuable lessons. She surprise and realized her talent by leaping over the opening height in the high jump. Johnson showed that if she put her mind to it, she can accomplish anything as she cleared 4ft 8in. unfortunately, it wasn’t all good as Johnson had the undistinguished task of being the last person to miss the finals in the 55m dash.

Senior Shannon McVey was in caught in an unfamiliar situation as she was charged with a fault start in the 55m dash. Three athletes fault started in her heat however a judgment call by the official (probably because she had the better start) tagged McVey as being out, VHSL rules does not allow any fall starts.

Junior Lance Cheng first regional championship was a great experience but it was left a little unfulfilled as he just missed making the final of the triple jump. Cheng finished 10^th with 9 going to the finals, he also had a personal best in the 55m hurdles to concluded a great season.

The 4x400m had a great outside chance to making the state championship but they needed everything to go right. But, from the way the meet was going who knew. Sophomore Tara Cappiello led off and put the team right in the mix however on the 1^st exchange senior Shannon McVey’s path was blocked by another runner and it slowed down our progress long enough give us work to do. On the second exchange, senior Jamie Schiller kept the team close which left Hargrove some serious work to do. Even with an anchor leg of 58.5 it was not enough to over the leaders and the best in the region. The team did run the best in seven years with a seasonal best of 4:08.16. The girl’s 4x200m relay team of Johnson, McVey, Schiller and sophomore Chandler Dennison placed 13^th.

Hargrove, McVey and Saures advance to the State championship to be conducted on Friday, March 2^nd and Saturday, March 3^rd @ GMU starting at 4:30PM.

Lady Statesmen Wins Liberty District Team title

--Hargrove, McVey, Cheng wins individual crowns

It’s been eleven (11) years since the Marshall Statesmen team captured the District track and field Indoor title and like the team in 1996, this year’s team used the same examples to pull off their championship crown. The 1996 championship team was led by seniors Melanie Burgess (C’96) and Elizabeth Johnson (C’96) and this year’s team was led by seniors Jacqueline Hargrove (C’07) and Shannon McVey (C’07). However, it was the supporting cast that made the difference in both championships run. While the pervious team champions had the meet wrapped up with events to spare, this year’s team needed the final event to secure the win. They did have one more thing in common, the same foe – the Langley Saxons.

After day one with the team leading by five (5) points, the coaching staff got to the thinking, we can win the District championship. We just needed to implore the new school motto adapted from the basketball season’s magical run last year and imprinted on the black and Columbia blue winter sprint pack shirt, “Small School, Big Heart”. Running the numbers from the entries, the meet was going to break even with Langley and close with Thomas Jefferson and W.T. Woodson. The first event (55m hurdles) we was on the losing end of the prediction after Langley improved two points, the second event (55m dash) Langley gain two more points and we collected one, the 4x200m was going to be critical and we did as intended and gain the valuable eight (8) points. In the 1600m run, while we didn’t expect to or gain any points in the 1600m, Langley lost five (5) points, the 500m dash when as predicted as Langley gain their seven (7) points. The 1000m was going to be most critical as we had pencil in a gain off zero (0) point to Langley’s twelve (12) – however the Statesmen gain six (6) point and Langley lost 10 points. With three events remaining, the Lady Statesmen had two in the 300m and Langley had four (4) in the 3200m with Marshall leading by two points (75 to 73). Seniors leadership took over as the Statesmen picked up eighteen (18) points in the 300m to put the championship away to Langley ten (10) points in the 3200m. Leading by 10 points going into the final event the 4x400m relay, all the team needed was one point, but someone should have told them. Unfortunately, it didn’t make a difference because while the Lady Statesmen were tracking down Madison for first place, Langley was suffering in the back after dropping the baton on the first leg.

Senior Jacqueline Hargrove led the Statesmen by scoring fifty-two (52) of the team’s one hundred and three (103) points and closing out an impressive indoor career. Hargrove won two District titles including breaking her school and meet record in the 300m dash with an impressive national ranking mark of 41.01. Jacqueline also finished no lower than 2^nd in six (6) other events including her first lost in the 55m dash in four (4) years. In total, Hargrove won the 300m, Shot put and finished 2^nd in the 55m, Long jump, triple jump, high jump and 4x400m relay.

Fellow senior Shannon McVey was the perfect compliment including handing Hargrove her first lost in the 55m dash at the Liberty District championship. McVey just narrowly missed breaking the school and meet record set by 1996 champion Melanie Burgess (7.37 to 7:30). Shannon also stepped up to the longer sprint and dropped an impressive personal best by over two seconds when the team needed it most to take 2^nd in the 300m dash. Call upon to led once more, McVey anchored the 4x200m relay to a regional qualifier and runner up in the event. The team of freshman Brittany Johnson, sophomore Chandler Dennison and seniors Jamie Schiller and McVey run was impressive because they team had never ran that fast without Hargrove. Freshman Brittany Johnson looked to be the leader of the next pack as she ran a regional qualifying mark to take 5^th in the 55m dash. She also placed 4^th in the high jump.

When people speak of the Statesmen track and field, the faces of the program is Hargrove and McVey but forgotten senior who has been the glue that keep all the relay team together in contention has been Jamie Schiller. Every school record, every regional qualifier, every District medal in the relays, Schiller has been a part of, something not even Hargrove can claim. One again, Schiller was called upon and she did not disappoint, she was the third leg on the runner up 4x200m and the led off leg on the District title clinging 4x400m relay team.

Sophomore Tara Cappiello really setup her performances this year after a wonderful freshman season, she was called upon even more this year especially in the sprints to replace of all people her big sister Gina Cappiello. The coaches knew last year’s regional qualifier in the 1000m was going to be critical in the team’s run to the championship but we still had her scoring no point based on the entries. Cappiello was asked to be the swing in the meet and she did not disappoint. Her strong bronze medal performance was a twelve (12) point swing in the Statesmen favor. She also anchored the 4x400m relay team that results in the team title.

Junior Katherline Heffelimire does her work in the quiet but dangerous event of pole vaulting. Sometimes, we seem to forget about her and this year she qualified for her first regional championship while equaling her school record of 6ft 6in. Heffelimire will once again try to break that 7ft barrier.

Two important performances that would seem forgotten because they happen a week ago was but were very important to the team position was a surprising 6^th place in the Shot Put by Ann-Elise Gustavsen and strong seasonal best performance by the 4x800m relay team (Cappiello, sophomore Crystal Courtner, senior Tanya Khandpur, sophomore Chandler Dennison).

Lance Cheng lead boy’s with Triple Jump Crown

Junior Lance Cheng has worked hard to get where he is now, fighting through the pain, the disappointment and the competition finally paid off as he captured his first District title in the triple jump. Improving on his indoor personal best and District leading entry, Cheng leap over 41ft for the second time in his career and the result was the win and defeat of arch rival Jordon Calderwood of Langley. Lance also broke through in the 55m hurdle by qualifying for Regional championship with his 5^th place in the event.

Fellow junior Oscar Olazo also finally had all his hard work pay off as he finally gain that regional championship ticket. While Olazo was expecting a District title to come with his trip to regional, he had to contend with some recent hardship that limited his practice time and meet preparation. However, he recovered enough to pull off a runner up performance in the competitive 1000m run.

Seniors Kevin Gollogly and Alex Cvrk just missed qualifying for the regional. Gollogly had the unfortunate distinction of being the last man to miss advancing after finishing 7^th in the 500m dash. Sophomore Daniel Farhood has come a long way this year especially after his sad summer but his performances on the field was a welcoming comfort (at least for a few moments). Farhood have been gradually improving his performances and once again it happen as he had a huge personal best in the triple jump.

Hargrove racked up twenty-six (26) points on District Day One

--McVey runs #2 All-time 55m best

Every time you think you’re seen all you can from Senior Jacqueline Hargrove, she amazed you and give you more. Hargrove continued her domination of District competition and took it to another level by capturing her first shot put title. In her final winter season the only thing missing from Hargrove’s resume is a team District title and after taking 6^th in the shot put last year, she was going to compete in the event again for point. However, to the shock and amazement of everyone, Hargrove pulled off the unexpected, thanks to some great insight and coaching from Liberty District Men Shot Put record holder and current throwing coach Jose Portillo. Improving on each of her throws, Hargrove captured the event with a personal best on her third throw. Junior Ann-Elise Gustavsen following the lead of Hargrove pulled off a huge upset to capture 6^th place and book her ticket to the regional championship.

Hargrove’s day was just getting started as she competed in three events at the same time. In the space of 15 minutes, she provided a scare when it took her three jumps to clear her opening height, won her heat in the 55m dash, captured 2^nd in the Long jump and finally came back and cleared 5ft to take 2^nd in the high jump on misses. Hargrove day finally ended with her qualifying for the finals of the 55m dash (with the 2^nd fastest time) and breaking her own meet record in qualifying for 300m dash finals.

In the 55m dash, Senior Shannon McVey will make it very difficult for Hargrove to capture her fourth straight dash title after dropping two amazing performance on the straightaway. McVey first blazed to a State qualifying marking in the winning her heat of the preliminaries and then moved to #2 all time in Statesmen school history with astounding performance in the semi-finals. McVey then return later in the day to qualify for the 300m dash finals with the 3^rd fastest time.

Freshman Brittany Johnson fulfilled the expectations from preseason by qualifying for the regional championship in the high jump with a 4^th place and should add another regional qualifier in the 55m dash after qualifying for the finals.

Junior Lance Cheng finally realized his dream of qualifying for the regional championship in the 55m hurdles by qualifying for the finals (all he needs to do is show up and walk cross the line). Cheng also had a personal best in the long jump. Sophomore Alexander “Lex” Saures competing in the winter track and field claimed his first of many regional qualifiers by finishing 5^th in the Shot Put competition.

The girl’s 4x800m relay team ran their seasonal best in placing 6^th in the event, the team of sophomores Tara Cappiello, Crystal Courtner, Chandler Dennison and senior Tanya Khandpur ran their fastest time in seven seasons. The boy’s team once again missed out on qualifying for regional after taking 4^th in the event in back to back seasons. The team of seniors Kevin Gollogly, Alex Cvrk and juniors William “Alex” Haugh and Oscar Olazo ran a seasonal best.

Sophomores Chandler Dennison & Crystal Courtner are currently one, two after finishing first and second in the unseeded section of the 1000m run.

Liberty District Highlights from 2/1/07

by Pearl Watts.

On the girls side, Marshall is the early leader after four events with 31 points in what was essentially the Jacqueline Hargrove show.

The Statesmen senior won the shot put at 29-3.25, finished second in the high jump at 5-0 and was also the runnerup in the long jump with a mark of 16-8.25.

Hargrove also posted the second fastest time in the 55 dash semis at 7.59 and in her last event of the day broke her own distict meet record of 42.19 in the 300 dash trials with a clocking of 41.48.

In the 55 dash qualifying, Marshall senior Shannon McVey was the story as she posted the fastest time in the trials at 7.42 and then zipped to a personal best of 7.37 in the semis.

Langley sits in second place with their 26 points spread evenly throughout and Madison is currently third with 18 points, led by defending champion Veronica Day's win in the long jump at 17-3.5.

Woodson has 16 points in fourth place and set a new district meet record in the 4x800 relay at 9:41.30 with their team of junior Shelby Walters, sophomores Aaren Pastor and Sarah Haight and senior Sarrah Hadiji with Pastor posting a 2:23 split on the second leg and Hadiji anchoring home in 2:17.9.

South Lakes is tied for fifth with 13 points and received a fine showing from senior Leila Drici, who won the high jump at 5-0; led all qualifiers in the 55 hurdles at 9.27 in the semis after running 9.15 in the trials and posted the second fastest time in the 300 dash trials behind Hargrove of Marshall at 42.55.

One the boy's side - The Langley boys team looks determined to give defending champion Jefferson all they can handle after day one of the Liberty District Championship held at the Prince George's Sports and Learning Complex in Landover, MD yesterday evening.

Langley was able to rack up a total of 60 points in the four finals contested last night, creating essentially about a 30 point swing.

The Saxons big event was the pole vault, where they pt up half their points thus far as they swept the top five places in scoring on a 10-8-6-4-2-1 basis, led by junior Michael Chisholm's victory at 12 feet 6 inches as he equalled his personal best.

Langley also swept the top three spots in the long jump with freshman Peter Sanson, seeded just sixth coming into the event, the upset winner with a p.r. best by more than a foot and a half at 20-4.

Jefferson is currently in second place with 23 points and received wins by senior Frank Nothaft in the shot put with a seasonal best mark of 49-1.25 and from their 4x800 meter relay team of sophomores Logan Gates and Timmy Galvin along with seniors Ben Treweek and Taylor Bostick as they broke Langley's ten year old meet record of 8:14.54 with their 8:12.03 clocking.

--Hargrove wins three events

Senior Jacqueline Hargrove closed out her quad meet career by adding two new event wins to her great career. Competing in the shot put for the third time in her career, Hargrove excelled like she does with everything she undertakes having collected a District medal in the shot put last year (on her 2^nd time competing in the event). This time she improved on her third throw of the season to win the event in a personal best and District #3 ranking. On the track, Hargrove again step out of her comfort zone and again was successful in winning the 1000m run with a personal best. The win in the 55m dash was nothing unusual and it setups the long awaited battle for the District title with teammate and District #1 senior Shannon McVey who ran the same time in the event. McVey also stepped out of her comfort zone to run the 1600m run.

Junior Oscar Olazo continued the streak of stepping out of their comfort zone in winning the 1600m run. Sophomore Tara Cappiello is familiar with the 500m run so it was easy taking the win in the event. Junior Lance Cheng continues his strong season and looks in great shape to secure his first regional representation. The girl’s 4x800m relay team (Chandler Dennison, Crystal Courtner, Tara Cappiello, Lisa Carter) looks to be in good shape for District as they ran a season best in winning the event. The boy’s team (Alex Cvrk, Jason Pennington, Matthew Musie, William “Alex” Haugh) also showed a few regular members return and won the event in trying to get back to form in time for the District.

Junior Zamir Ahadzada won two battles for the right to compete at the Liberty District championship. Ahadzada placed 2^nd in the high jump be clearing not one but two heights in the event, he also had the 2^nd fastest time in the 55m dash to claim his second event for District. Ahadzada will be joined in the high jump by Cheng and senior Eliot Gehley came out of the field to claim the final spot in the 55m dash.

Sophomore Caroline Gieseler ran a personal best behind Cappiello to win the battle and right to compete in the 500m dash at District. Senior Alex Cvrk won the men’s battle on the men’s side to claim his place. Sophomores Crystal Courtner and Chandler Dennison ran personal best in the 1000m to book their ticket to District. Freshman Brittany Johnson was out of character in the 1000m run but endured, she also placed 5^th in the 55m dash.

The most entertaining event of the night was the 3200m run thanks to the good folks who attended the overnight trip to the Asics Invitational at Liberty University. Some of the member felt they needed to show how good character they had and volunteered to show their range and dedication to the sport, the teammates, the program and their love for their coaches. The coaches loved ever second and every lap because when was the last time you saw sprinters give up their favorite events for the program, to be an example for the team, for the younger folks. Sophomore John Peterman was an example of the character this team can be built on as he took up the challenge and ran a huge personal best behind Senior Jason Pennington. Peterman’s performance would have qualified him for a place in the event for the District team. Later this week, we will report on the character showed by the good folks who journey to the Arlington 7-11 on South Street.

Hargrove rock the house at Asics Invitational

Senior Jacqueline Hargrove only has an hour to prepare for her 300m dash race after taking a three hour drive from Northern Virginia to the mountains of Lynchburg, VA but like her career she was up to the task. Unfortunately, the seeding never seem to go her way for Hargrove as her work cut out for her because for the a third invitational she was relegated to the outside lane. At this point of the season and her career, lanes and seeds does seem to mean much as Hargrove took up the challenge and out ran the competition and winning the 300m dash in a State#6 season best, Regional#1 and District#1 mark. Hargrove performance of 41.48 ranked 2^nd in Statesmen’s school history behind her personal best of 41.18. After taking a breather to eat some good food, get some rest, Hargrove return to the track to compete in what is becoming her favorite event the 500m dash. Her she was expecting some big time competition from some of the state’s best but like at the Southern Mega Meet, the competition never materialize as Hargrove won the 500m dash by over three seconds in a State#2, Regional#1 and District#1 mark. Her performance of 1:17.65 ranked her #6 nationally (according to Dyestat.com) and Hargrove has the distinction of being the only one with two top 10 mark in the event in the nation.

An hour and half later, Hargrove would return to the track as the anchor leg of the 4x400m relay team and again put on a show. She was joined by sophomore Tara Cappiello, seniors Jamie Schiller and Shannon McVey to run a possible indoor school record, State#6, Regional#2 and District#1 mark. Their mark of 4:08.71 was the fastest time in at least seven seasons and put them in perfect position to qualify for the state meet. Cappiello, McVey and Schiller also had outstanding individual performances. McVey had two District qualifiers in the 55m (7.62) and 300m (44.95), Cappiello recorded her in the 1000m (3:18.02) and Schiller collected hers in the 500m (1:26.73).

Freshman Brittany Johnson added another fine performance in the 55m dash (7.85 – District qualifier) but it was in the field which her high expectation (according to Coach Robinson) was to be and this weekend it all came together. Johnson placed and impressive 10^th in the long jump (14ft 1.25in) and 10^th in the high jump (4ft 6in).

On the boy’s side, junior Lance Cheng competed with purpose and the results showed his hard work. Cheng increase his strength hold on the District triple jump lead with an indoor personal best and District qualifying mark of 40ft 0in and jumped into the 300m picture for a spot at the District with a personal best of 40.68. He also hit the District mark in the 55m hurdles again with a 8.86 where he lead senior Ben Yazman (9.37) and Akkarin Chorachaturaphak (9.71) to personal best in the event.

Junior Oscar Olazo had another solid performance in the 500m dash with a District qualifier and 6^th place in the event. He also dropped a nice leg on the 4x400m relay team. Fellow junior William “Alex” Haugh returned to competition after a month layoff and for four laps it had no impact as he lead the 1000m race until the last 20 meters. However, his performance was a personal best by over six seconds of 2:51.01. Sophomore John Peterman had two wonderful personal best including lowering his 500m mark by nearly five seconds to 1:14.32 and had another personal best in the 300m dash (40.79).

Olazo defeat his chief rivals in Regional qualifier

Junior Oscar Olazo continues to showcase his skills this time in the longer race but with the same success. Competing against his expect chief rivals from distance power house Thomas Jefferson, Olazo showed his competitors that this is a new year. Last year, he was a front runner, this year he is all around athlete and Jefferson found out first hand as setting a strong pace did work and double teaming didn’t work either as Olazo defeated and out ran all strategy to a sizzling personal best, just missing the State qualifier by less an a second and a regional #2 ranking. The run was even more impressive because it was run without spikes and in a track that consider quite slow.

Freshman Brittany Johnson took advance of the void left by teammates to prepare for what life looks like next year by winning the 55m dash in a District qualifier. Senior Kevin Gollogly has not left yet but it was a good return to the track as he won the 500m dash and took 3^rd in the 300m. Junior Matthew Muise captured 2^nd in the triple jump and 5^th in the long jump. Sophomore Chandler Dennison placed 3^rd in the 500m and 300m dash. The boy’s 4x800m team of Gollogly, junior William “Alex” Haugh, Muise and Alex Cvrk won their meet with a seasonal best.

Hargrove wins 500m dash in State #1 Best Mark

--Three Regional qualifiers, seven District qualifiers

Senior Jacqueline Hargrove continues her hot streak at the Southern Mega Indoor track and field invitational this past weekend at the Prince George’s Sports & Learning Complex by winning the 500m dash in a VA State Best mark of 1:18.91. She just missed automatic qualifying for the State championship by little over half a second. Hargrove were expecting some stiff competition from Centreville All State runner but it never materialize as the competition was left behind at the 200m mark. Next week Hargrove will return to the same facility to attempt the sprint triple as she competes in the 55m dash, where the competition will include a Liberty District preview with teammates, fellow senior and 2006 championship runner up Shannon McVey.

McVey warmed up with her own regional qualifier in claiming the 55m dash Bronze medal in a season best and Liberty District number #1 mark of 7.51. Freshman Brittany Johnson joined McVey and Hargrove as automatic Liberty District qualifier just missing the regional mark by 0.05 in a personal best of 7.66.

Junior Oscar Olazo achieved two of his many goals for season without a step to spare. After missing medals at Liberty Invitational (4^th – 500m) and FIT Invitational (7^th – 1000m) all in personal best and District qualifiers, Olazo was not satisfied because he wanted hardware and auto regional qualifier. So, Saturday at the Southern Mega Invitational, Olazo was on a mission in the 500m dash and this time he hit the jackpot, taking the silver medal in the event and hitting the regional qualifying mark 1:08.32 on the nose. Senior Jason Pennington returned to competition for the first time this season and he left his mark with a huge personal best and District qualifier mark of 1:13.05.

Sophomore Alexander “Lex” Saures made the final of the shot put competition and defeat the former District and Regional number one ranked thrower from Thomas Jefferson. However, the number two ranked thrower from South Lakes stepped up his game and won the competition. Saures finished just one place out of the medals in 7^th equaling his personal best in a District mark of 44ft 4in. Junior Lance Cheng has his best jump of the season in his favorite event the triple Jump in a District qualifying mark of 39ft 9in.

The number one varsity combination of the girl’s 4x400m team finally had a chance to run together and it was oh so sweet. The team had the best time in two years with the team of McVey, sophomore Tara Cappiello (800m relay – 2:33), senior Jamie Schiller (300m – 47.89) and Hargrove posted a time of 4:15.55 to pick up the bronze medal. Cappiello earlier led the 4x800m team to a 5^th place finish was joined by sophomores Crystal Courtner (800m – 2:42.21), Chandler Dennison and Lisa Carter (800m – 2:47.07) in a season best of 10:52.24.

Other notable performances, Senior Benjamin Yazman (55m – 7.49), sophomore Caroline Gieseler dropped nearly three second (500m – 1:33.53), sophomore Patrick Sullivan lowered his 1600m best by three and half second (1600m – 5:38.84), junior Michael Born leaped two feet over his pervious personal best in the long jump (17ft 3.5in), junior Patrick Roddy lowered his 300m by over two and half second (41.15) and sophomore Zemir Ahadzada by nearly two seconds (42.62).

Hargrove crowned at FIT Invitational

--Runner up in the 300m dash.

Senior Jacqueline Hargrove is pulling out all the stops in final year of her high school career as she added another title to her wonderful resume. Hargrove out dueled the field of over 35 competitors to take the high jump title at the Friends of Indoor Invitational on Friday, December 29^th at the Prince George’s Sports and Learning complex to take the win. The senior’s success is enjoyable but surprising because she has not competed this much in the event since her freshman year due to back pain. But, like a true champion Hargrove just know how to make situation work her way including joining the competition at 5ft and taking only six jumps in the event to limit the stain on her back. Her performance equaled her personal best and state qualifying qualification mark and pushes her to #8 on the State season ranking and #1 in the Northern Regional and Liberty District.

On the track, Hargrove has the pleasure of competing against one of the country’s best in Eleanor Roosevelt’s Takecia Jameson in the 300m. Hargrove showed she belong on the same stage as she put in a furious comeback after running from the outside lane to finish a close second to Jameson in a season best, regional qualifying mark and Virginia #5 ranking, #2 in the regional and #1 in the District.

Junior Oscar Olazo keep proving that he is one of the best in the Northern Regional and the State based on his time on the track but his purse of medals keeps eluding him. Olazo again had the misfortune of being in the wrong place at the wrong time, while he won his heat by over 20 meters, he had no one pushing him. His time was a personal best and it placed him a respectable 7^th but it was one place out of the medals. Sophomore Alexander “Lex” Saures had great expectations after last year’s successful spring season, last week the his performance started to meet up with his expectations and this weekend at FIT it came together with a three feet improvement. His performance placed his 10^th and automatically qualified him for the District championship, Saures can only expect an uphill battle as the three best throwers in the Northern Regional are from the Liberty District. Junior Lance Cheng continues to have a wonderful season with his 4^th consecutive personal best in the 55m Hurdles.

Freshman Brittany Johnson had her events highlighted on the list Coach Wong post on the team website and it either mean one of two things, she is either focus or just a forgetful freshman who needs to have things put in bring colors for her to see. After getting to the meet she found out one upsetting news, she will not be competing in the 4x200m after missing relay practice (she claimed it’s her mother’s fault). Missing the relay did not sit well with her, instead of crying to her mother, Johnson took it as a personal challenge and produced three wonderful personal best performances. In her first event the long jump, she leaped two feet over her personal best, dropped her best in the 55m dash and surprised everyone with a superb coming from behind win in her 300m heat to shaved an amazing three seconds off her personal best.

Senior Shannon McVey has two super lead off legs on the relays to put the team in first place and placed 9^th in the 55m dash in a seasonal best and Liberty District qualifying mark. Sophomore Caroline Gieseler competing for the first time with the varsity relay team handled her own and had a personal best in the 500m dash even though she had a commanding lead and slowed down because she was not sure where the race finished. Fellow sophomore Chandler Dennison also had a personal best in the 500m dash and put in two legs on the seasonal best relay teams. Freshman Breslin Toole and sophomore Crystal Courtner had personal best and achieved lettering for the season in the 3200m and 1000m run. The 4x200m (Senior Shannon McVey, Sophomore Chandler Dennison, Hargrove, sophomore Caroline Gieseler – 1:54.14) and 4x400m (McVey, sophomore Lisa Carter, Dennison, Hargrove – 4:29.85) had season best.

Other outstanding performances, junior Matt Muise dropped three seconds in the 500m, sophomore John Peterman dropped over a second in the 300m dash. The team will next compete at the Southern Indoor Mega Invitational @ Prince George’s County Sports and Learning complex on Jan. 6^th, 2007.

Hargrove qualifies for State Championship

--Hargrove (3), McVey (2), Gieseler (1) wins

It’s unusual to see senior Jacqueline Hargrove competing in the high jump this early in the season, championship time in February is where she is most likely to be seen leaping on to the mat. However, this year is not normal in any sense as Hargrove knows there isn’t anymore next year thus her performance in the high jump is typical of her attitude, it’s now or never and my performance will speak for itself. Hargrove picked up where she left off last year when she surprised everyone in jumping 5ft to take 3^rd at the Northern Regional Outdoor championship however she was disappointed to not clear the same height at the State meet. Friday night, she looked to have put that disappointment behind her as she dominated the competition and book her ticket to the State meet.

Hargrove night could not have gone anymore perfect as Hargrove warm up the day started with a Liberty District qualifying mark and win in the 55m dash and ended the night by bring the team back to win the 4x400m relay. Fellow senior Shannon McVey led off the winning 4x400m relay team after winning the 300m dash from lane three and four, she also placed 3^rd in the 55m dash. Another senior Jamie Schiller (3^rd – 300m) compete in her first meet of the season looked wonderful as she won her heat in the 300m and was a member of the winning 4x200m and 4x400m relay team. Freshman Brittany Johnson continues her impressive season by once again equaling her personal best in taking 2^nd in the 55m dash to help the Lady Statesmen sweep the event. Johnson was also a member of the winning 4x200m relay team The members of the winning team for 4x200m – sophomore Chandler Dennison, Schiller, Allyse Golden and Brittany Johnson and 4x400m – McVey, sophomore Tara Cappiello, Schiller and Hargrove.

It took two meets but outstanding freshman and regional qualifier Tara Cappiello looks to be back in form as she came pretty close to running to her personal best in her signature event in taking 2^nd in the 1000m. She also ran an impressive 2:33 on the led off leg of the 4x800m relay team and closed her meet on the 4x400m. Other scorers for the team was Golden (4^th – HJ, 5^th – 500m), sophomore Lisa Carter (4^th – 1600m) and freshman Breslin Toole (4^th – 3200m) and junior Ann-Elise Gustavsen competing in her first shot put competition placed 4th.

My favorite story of the meet beside Hargrove qualifying for the State is the performance of sophomore Caroline Gieseler. The people who read the last part of the season preview may recall that you can expect someone who is not mention to bust out. We maybe have found the one in the form of Gieseler. She has been showing great improvement in practice and finally it paid off as Gieseler won the 500m dash on Friday evening. Displaying great strength and wonderful closing speed, Gieseler out sprint the competition to take the win and earn her letter for the season.

Olazo, Haugh and Saures win and qualify for District Championship

--4x800m relay team wins

Most people despises running at Thomas Jefferson Middle school track because there are so much restrictions, no spikes, no aggressive plates, only seven athletes in the 300m and 500m dash and oh yea, no long or triple jump. But it is starting to become the favorite of one Marshall Statesmen, junior Oscar Olazo. Last year, Olazo busted out in the 1000m by defeated some of the leading District runners to a fantastic personal best. Friday night had to compete against two of the best runners in the regional while fighting a tight hamstring which caused him to abandon his traditional running from the front to playing cat and mouse. Unlike last year when he was beaten out at District championship because of cat and mouse strategy forced on him by his competition, this year he has worked on his pure speed evidenced by his recent assault on the Statesmen all time 300m and 500m top five list. Olazo also built up his strength by placing top 15 in the District Cross-country championship and climbing up the Marshall top 20 Burke Lake 5000m list. Olazo forced to sit behind the fast pace set by the Edison twins, ran patiently and showed that speed when he pulled away on the final lap to win the event.

Fellow junior William “Alex” Haugh the extreme opposite of Olazo always had great strength from his 3200m running but wanted to work on his speed. Haugh’s early performances in practice and his offer to run the 4x200m showed he is working on it. The combination of speed and strength came together perfectly as Haugh found the legs after 15 laps to out sprint his competition to claim the win the 3200m run. Haugh together with Olazo and newly introduced to middle distance runner junior Matt Muise (3^rd – 500m, where he dropped an amazing 11 seconds off his pervious personal best) and freshman Lucas Rooney started the day by winning the 4x800m relay.

Outstanding spring freshman of the year Alexander “Lex” Saures showed great promise last year and looked to be on the road to joining the great Statesmen throwing tradition. The first meet did not match up to his standard and expectations but two meets in a row there wasn’t going to be disappointment as Saures return to his outstanding ways by winning the shot event and automatically qualifying for the District championship.

Junior Lance Cheng continues to have a wonderful season in the hurdle as he improved his personal best by nearly quarter of a second to place 2^nd in the event and automatically qualified for the District championship. Cheng showed his speed without the hurdle and was the leading team runner to place 4^th in the 55m dash. Fellow hurdler senior Benjamin Yazman placed 5^th in the hurdles and was the team’s best 300m dash runner. Sophomore John Peterman a member of the 2^nd place 4x200m team and finished 5^th in the 500m dash. Junior Michael Born scored for the second meet in a row in taking 4^th in the high jump.

Other great personal performances came from sophomore Patrick Walsh who dropped nearly 25 seconds in the 1600m, William Sullivan who dropped nearly 20 seconds in the 1600m, freshman Akkarin Chorachaturaphak who improved his hurdle time by nearly four seconds, 2^nd on the team in the 55m dash and the anchor leg on the 2^nd place 4x200m relay.

Hargrove medals at Liberty Christmas Invitational

--Olazo grabs top 5s in school history

Senior Jacqueline Hargrove won the fast section in the 300m dash but it wasn’t enough to win the meet, however she did grab the team’s only medal of the meet. Her time of 43.34 was a seasonal best and District automatic qualifier. Junior Oscar Olazo for the second meet in a row played the role of a short sprinter while his reward wasn’t any medals like he would have loved. Olazo’s races where historical as he grabbed the number two spot all time in Statesmen’s history in both the 500m and the number 5 spot in the 300m dash. Only All-American and All-State season by Anthony Weaver, Jr. (Class of 2004) mark of 1:06.03 was faster than Olazo’s 1:09.24 in the 500m.

Freshman Brittany Johnson showed her performance at the quad meet was for real as she missed equaling her hand timed mark by 0.01 but her 7.95 in the 55m @ Liberty Invitational has be considered superior because it was record by fully automatic timing (FAT). Her mark was 3^rd fastest time under this current coaching staff behind only three time District 55m champion Hargrove and state qualifier and regional medalist Shannon McVey. Sophomore Allyse Golden running in her first indoor meet sped to number 7^th on the coaching staff list with a 8.26 clocking, she also captured the number 12^th spot in the 300m (49.39).

Junior Lance Cheng ran a personal best and Liberty District qualifying mark in the 55m hurdles and shore up his number one coaching ranking. He also had a personal best in the 300m dash. Sophomore Chandler Dennison had a personal best run in the 500m dash and took over the number 8^th coaching rank.

Freshman Breslin Toole had the honor of having the longest races and also took home the trophy for the most stories per subject and the longest to hold a conversation (3 hours straight). On the track, Toole continues to have a wonderful 2006 as she had two personal best in the 1600m by surpass her opening mark by half a second (6:10.37 to 6:10.84). She also ran an impressive first 3200m of her career in 13:44.45 to take 10^th in the meet and shoot up to 5^th on the coaches ranking.

The girl’s 4x200m relay team of Hargrove, Dennison, Golden and Johnson ran an impressive 1:57.22 to take 5^th in the meet.

Boy’s team open season with second place finish

--Cheng wins three events, Olazo takes one

Junior Lance Cheng picked where he left off that spring by capturing three events including a personal best and Liberty District qualifying performance in the 55m hurdles. Cheng grabbed his other wins in the pits of the long and triple jumps even with a painful ankle. Fellow junior Oscar Olazo was at his old tricks while returning to a forgotten place as a sprinter. Olazo success as a middle distance All-Regional performer overshadowed his original aspiration as a sprinter. The only difference this time around was his competition was left behind as Olazo sprint away with the 500m dash in a Liberty District qualification mark and a second place in the 300m dash. He also was the lead off leg on the winning 4x400m relay which including tripe jump runner up junior Matthew Muise. The anchor leg on the relay team, Muise achieved personal best in every event (Long Jump, Triple Jump, 55m dash, 300m dash) he participated. Second leg junior Patrick Roddy also had a great day with personal best in the 55m hurdles and a nearly half a second drop in the 55m dash. Third leg and freshman Akkarin Chorachaturaphak started his career by dropping a huge personal best performance in the 500m dash.

Junior Michael Born complete in track and field for the first time was runner up in the high jump and placed 5^th in the long jump. Sophomore Alexander Saures placed 4^th in the shot put and junior William “Alex” Haugh was runner up in the 1000m and 5^th in the 1600m run.

Other notable performances were turned in by sophomore Roger Rangel-Lafuente who dropped nearly 11 seconds off his 1600m time and seven (7) seconds off his 1000m best, junior Keith Henning dropping over half a second off his 55m hurdles best, sophomore Siddnarth Kumar dropping nearly 10 seconds off his 500m time and sophomore Patrick Sullivan and Matthew Stripe dropping over seven (7) seconds off their 1000m best.

The great performances on the first meet out of the indoor season nearly produced a team win even with a few noteworthy absents due the SATs but it fell short by two (2) points to District rival WT Woodson (62 to 60).

Johnson start career in fine fashion

--Johnson wins 55m dash, 4x800m team wins

Coach Robinson for a year now has been talking up the expected arrival of now freshman Brittany Johnson and for the first two weeks of practice, she has left us wondering. However, come meet day Johnson did not disappoint as she captured the 55m dash with an impressive run from the unseeded section. Johnson also put in some work for the Coach who has been bragging about her by take two runners up places in the high jump and Long jump.

Another newcomer also had an impressive debut as sophomore Chandler Dennison much talked about expectation produced a runner up finish in the 300m dash. Fellow sophomore, 2005-2006 outstanding freshmen of the year and regional qualifier Tara Cappiello also return to the track after experimenting with soccer and field hockey to capture runner up in the 500m dash by dropping nearly 4 seconds. Cappiello and Dennison teamed with another newcomer sophomore Crystal Courtner and multiple District Champion and VA All-State Jacqueline Hargrove to start the season in grand fashion by capturing the first event the 4x800m relay.

While Johnson seem to be in the lead for freshman of the year honors after one meet, fellow freshman and reigning Cross-country freshman of the year Breslin Toole was not to be out done as she captured two fourth (4^th) place achieving the lettering standards in both events. Toole’s performances were impressive and it puts her only four (4) seconds off Cappiello’s debut performance which propelled her last year to the regional championship. Countner placed 3^rd in the 500m dash and senior Gabriela Rangel-Lafuente placed 5^th in the 300m dash to round out the scorers.

2006 - 2007 Winter Track & field Previews

Seniors expect to leader by example.

The 2006 – 2007 Lady Statesmen Winter track and field season is filled with great expectations with strong leadership returning led by Seniors Jacqueline Hargrove and Shannon McVey, Lauren Byrne, Jamie Schiller, Antoinette Schanes and the addition of Gabriela Rangel-Lafuente.

The sprint group will be led for the last time by four time District champion Jacqueline Hargrove who will look to add a regional and state championship to her resume before heading off to college. Hargrove can expect increase competition in trying to capture her 4^th straight District 55m dash from last year’s State qualifier and runner up senior Shannon McVey. While Hargrove won the District title, it was McVey who represented the Statesmen at the Northern Regional and Virginia State Meet. They will be joined in pursuit of more school records by senior Jamie Schiller and some awesome upperclassmen led by newcomer sophomore Chandler Dennison and Co-Spring freshman of the year award winner Allyse Golden. Dennison an import from the wonderful State of Alaska has showed great promise from her performances during the cross-country season and early winter practices.

The distance group will be led by 2006 winter and Spring Freshman of the Year winners Tara Cappiello and Lisa Carter. Cappiello will be looking to qualify for the State meet after making it to the Regional championship in a school top 5 all time best in the 1000m. Carter will look to make her first regional team after her wonderful cross-country season. They will be joined by recently crowned 2006 Cross-country Freshman of the Year, Breslin Toole and newcomer Crystal Courtner and Sameera Ripley and senior Antoinette Schanes a.k.a California who will look to end her career with fine fashion.

The hurdling group will be led by senior Gabriela Rangel-Lafuente who is returning after trying basketball for a season will look to gain a spot to regional championship. She will be joined by Golden who is looking to expand her talent again and newcomers Roxanna Hernandez and Savanna Gurney will look to complete the team for District.

In the circle, Senior Lauren Byrne will again be a force in the District and will look to make three straight regional championships and she will be joined by junior newcomer Ann-Elise Gustavsen is expected to be pushing Byrne to the limit at practice and meets.

On the mat and in the pits, Hargrove will look to pull off another regional triple qualification and add another title in the jumps. Freshman Brittany Johnson, Golden and the return of Senior Oluyemisi Ojumu should boost in the events.

Everyone is eligible for the relays and over the past years we’ve been very successful, we are expecting that trend to continue with three members of the school record 4x200m returning. While the lost of senior Gina Cappiello and Elizabeth “Blair” Monroe will be missed from that super freshman season back in 2003-2004, the newcomers should provide great speed and power. Each year, there is someone unmentioned at the beginning of the season who will come out making you say wow, there in mind, so expect some surprises.

Boy’s Team will be led by record breakers

Big things are expected from the 2006 – 2007 Statesmen winter track and field season especially with the return of the full squad and school record breaking 4x800m relay team. Expected to lead the team is Seniors Jason Pennington, Kevin Gollogly and William “Alex” Cvrk and juniors Oscar Olazo and Lance Cheng and sophomores Alexander Saures and John Peterman.

Senior Jason Pennington has been the leader from day one of his freshman year and he will look to final capturing that berth to the State championship after missing by one spot. Also, off his MVP cross-country season has to boost his confidence of expect good results. Pennington can expect stiff competition to come from trainer partners Oscar Olazo and William “Alex” Haugh. Olazo specializes in the short distance race and has a 2:45 (1000m) and 1:58 (800m) to his credit from last season and his reigning winter track and field MVP trophy. While, Haugh specialty is the longer race he has proven himself to have a wonderful range including a part ownership of the record breaking 4x800m relay team. Adding the speed and experience of Seniors Alex Cvrk and Kevin Gollogly and the group will be force in the region.

On the sprinting side, winter freshman of the Year John Peterman has looked good with his increase weight presence and coming off a great football season. He is joined by fellow football up and comer up, sophomore Brandon McCullen and expects the Ahadzada brothers to provide great supporting role especially on the relays. The surprises might come from sophomores Tomas Molfino and Patrick Roddy.

In the hurdles, junior Lance Cheng is expected to grab a spot to the regional championship in the crowd and talent hurdle pool of the Liberty District. He will be joined in his pursuit by senior Benjamin Yazman and junior Keith Henning who had great season last year. However, newcomers Akkarin Chorachaturaphak and Eliot Gehley may have something to say about the spots to District.

In the circle, spring freshman of the year Alexander “Lex” Saures will lead the team with the graduation of regional qualifier Brandon White. Saures coming off an impressive campaign last season which saw him throw over 40 feet will be joined by fellow sophomore returnee Matt Regets.

On the mat and in the pits, Lance Cheng will be the man to lead after his impressive ending to this spring season which same him leap over 41 feet in the triple jump at regional championship. He will also look to take the place of Norfolk State’s attendee Theo Robinson. He will be joined by the improving junior Matt Muise in the jumps.

The 4x400m and 4x800m relay teams should again be strong and is expected to compete for their spot to regional, state and nationals. The team for the 4x200m is wide open and everyone has the same chance of be selected – this is where most of the younger and newcomers will make their mark.

2006 Cross-country

Boy’s team Qualifies for the Regional Championship

--W. Haugh, Olazo break school top 20

Juniors William “Alex” Haugh, Oscar Olazo and Senior Jason Pennington led the Statesmen to their 2^nd consecutive Northern Regional Cross-country championship at Burke Lake. W. Haugh led the team home followed closely by Olazo on the cold and windy evening while Pennington put in a late surge to close the gap to put three Statesmen in the top 15. The three leaders are member of the record breaking 4x800m relay team. Seniors Kevin Gollogly, junior Daniel Haugh, senior Sam Mencarini and junior Matthew Stripe completed the team that finished 3^rd improving on their 4^th place finish from last year. Stripe stepped up in the varsity race and ran a wonderful personal best. Noticeably absence was Senior Alex Cvrk and the fourth member of the record setting 4x8 team due to injuries. His presence at the regional championship should strength the team chances of qualifying for the State championship.

On the girl’s side, it was a night of personal best even with the cold and windy weather. Once a leader, always a leader and Senior Jacqueline Hargrove no doubt is a leader, on indoors, outdoor and now cross-country. Hargrove led the team all season and did so again tonight as she missed qualifying for the regional championship by just three spots with a personal best 18^th place performance. Sophomores Chandler Dennison and Lisa Carter continued there solid season with a personal best performances. The biggest surprise and enjoyment was the Rookie of the Year performances by freshman Bresliln Toole. She had setup all season and saved her best for last by dropping nearly a half a minute from her pervious best. You can expect a bright future for her on the track.

With enough members to have a complete team thanks to freshman Bresliln Toole stepping up to run varsity, Dennison also stepped up her game and lead the team with a 33^rd place finish. Toole did not disappoint with a personal best and inspiring performance to take 48^th in the Varsity B race.

Junior Matthew Stripe has been getting better and better he was reward with a Varsity B team leading performance to place 141^st in the rain. He was followed home by a strong performance by Lucas Rooney.

Fellow junior William Haugh took off on the first mile and continued to run strong and lead the team to the finish line. He was followed him by a late charging senior Jason Pennington and Alex Cvrk.

Hargrove & Pennington wins quad race

--Boy’s team wins meet, girl’s take second.

Seniors Jason Pennington and Jacqueline Hargrove won their respective quad meet races at Lake Fairfax. Pennington win led the Statesmen team Hto a one, two, three, four finish, only, one Mclean runner prevent a boy’s team sweep. Unlike, track and field when the higher score determines the winner, cross-country is the opposite. The lower score you can have is 15 point, the Statesmen winning total was 16 points. They defeated national and state ranked team, Thomas Jefferson but their closest challenger was McLean. The boy’s defeated McLean (15 to 58), South Lakes (15 to 77) and TJ (15 to 94). The other members of the winning team along with Pennington were William “Alex” Haugh (2^nd), Oscar Olazo (3^rd), Alex Cvrk (4^th), Daniel Haugh (6^th), Kevin Gollogly (9^th) and Sam Mencarini (10^th).

On the girl’s side, Hargrove won her first cross-country race of her career by over 50 seconds but her win could not prevent a narrow a three point lost to Mclean (35 to 38). The members of the 2^nd place team along with Hargrove were Chandler Dennison (4^th), Lisa Carter (7^th), Antoinette “Teddy” Schanes (11^th) and Tanya Khandpur (15^th).

2006 Returnees get running season started on good path.

---Boy's Varsity team place 5th

Boy's team

Senior Jason Pennington and juniors Oscar Olazo and William "Alex" Haugh members of the school record 4x800m team and track and field regional qualifiers opened up their 2006 Cross-country season with impressive showing to pull the Statesmen 5th of 23 teams. Pennington (23th), Olazo (27th) and Haugh (30th) for two years have been running close and this race was no different as they finished 7 spots apart. Seniors Kevin Gollogley and Alex Cvrk fellow regional qualifiers from track and field rounded out the scoring with their 49th and 59th places.

In the freshman race, Andrew Dickson could not have had a better start of his high school career with a 8th place finish in the race. Imagine last year's freshman leader at the same meet for the Statesmen Tarun Desai ran 4 minutes slower and 82 places lower. He had a great supporting cast with Vincent McLeese (45th) and David Drago (75th) to pull the team to 14th place and 5 spot improvement from 2005.

Girl's Team.

Senior Jacqueline Hargrove is competing in her second season on the team and it will propell her to few more track and field District championship like it did last year. Hargrove finished 63rd of 163 runners. She was joined by sophomore transfer newcomer Chandler Dennison (105th), 2005 spring track and field freshman of the year Lisa Carter, seniors Antoinette Schanes (118th) and Tanya Khandpur (121st) to round out the team scores and 19th place. Also, Bresliln Toole finished and impressive 26th in the freshman race.

Hargrove finish 10^th at States

Hargrove took 10^th in the event with 8^th place earning All-State status. She also moved up ten spots in the Long jump to finish 21^st but fail to clear the open height of 5ft in the high jump.

Hargrove medal in three events and qualifies for States in four.

--collect surprising bronze medal in high jump.

Every time you think junior Jacqueline Hargrove has shown you all she got, she pull out an ace or picture card from the deck and be like bang and you’re left in awe. This time however even Hargrove was surprised, after practically giving up the high jump since freshman year due to injuries, it took some crafting by jump Coach Robinson to convince her to take just one jump at Thomas Jefferson Pentiulimate Experience before running off to the prom. It was on the advice just in case you decide to do it at District, the result was a surprising 5^th place medal and a place in the regional championship. At the regional championship, it was, why not, we might as well because you qualified, this time the result was a bronze medal (which was nice) but not as enjoyable as clearing the magical five feet on her first attempt, her smile reminded you of that American Express commercial, PRICELESS. On the track, Hargrove qualified for the Virginia State championship in the 400m dash for the 3^rd straight year and medaled as many times in the event. Hargrove also collected her 2^nd medal in the 200m dash at regional after skipping the event last year. Unfortunately, the long jump is proving to be a pain the side and Hargrove missed medal in the event for the first time in her career.

Making the regional championship is a great honor however it is hard to enjoy when you missing making the States by less than half second and finishing in the last spot out. Junior Jason Pennington ran to a wonderful personal best but will have the whole summer to wonder and think about what if and how close he got to achieve his goal in the 1600m. Sophomore Oscar Olazo suffered a similar fate as her finished two spots out of the championship in the 800m run. Olazo ran a personal best and was in it all the way but it would require an automatic state qualifier to move on to the next round as the top six finishers ran under the standard.

Senior Theo Robinson had no words after the high jump competition, it seem like there was always something funny happen when he preparing to make a run at his goals. After making the indoor state championship, his spring season started on a wonderful note as he won the Metro Run and Walk Invitational high jump competition. Unfortunately, the rest of the season was a struggle as he missed the Morgan State meet due to car trouble and the meet cancelled due to rain, and then he got injured in practice and missing a few meet, came back at District and missed the title by one spot after leading the competition throughout. Robinson should have expected something to happen at regional and it did in the form of a lightning and thunderstorms right as the competition was expected to start. The condition got bad and the lack of footing cost many wonderful athletes to advance to the State meet, unfortunately it included Mr. Robinson. A wonderful Statesmen high school career came to end with mixed emotions, Robinson hope to continue his Virginia jumping career when he attends Norfolk State University starting in the fall. Sophomore Lance Cheng looked to follow in Robinson’s footstep and seem to be a few step a head of his progress. After making the regional championship in the triple jump during the winter and spring season, Cheng stretch himself out and leap toward one of his goals by surpassing the 41 feet mark.

Senior Brandon White had an up and down year, after a great ending to his 2005 season, the expectations were high for 2006. However, the indoor season did not start as well as expected until the District championship when White stepped up his game and booked his 4^th trip to the regional. While just missed making the finals at the regional, there were more hope to a better spring season. The spring started with a win at the first meet and everything seems to be in place, then the unexpected turn of event after being involved in a car accident seem to threaten his season. White was a fighter and coming back from his short break, he collected medals at the Nike Spring Invitational and Thomas Jefferson Pentiulimate to bring his goals back in focus. Based on the road his season took, no expected the road to the regional championship to be easy and it wasn’t as it took White his final throw in the preliminaries to make the finals and he pulled off his 5^th and final regional qualification by throwing up and leapfrogging two competitors. The state championship was a long shot but White gave it all he got and nearly pulled it off again, however this time his wonderful efforts came up two spots short as he fail to make the finals with his 11^th place finish with 9^th going to the finals.

The Boy’s 4x800m relay team had been waiting for their season to come together and they thought it did on May 13^th when they won the Thomas Jefferson Pentiulimate experience in convincing style and broke the school record by over six season. Skipping the Liberty District championship but having the lead off leg and the anchor leg dip under 1:59.00 and 2:00.00 in the open 800m seem to increase their chances of achieving the state qualifier. However, one thing you can count on is the strong distance running in the Northern Region and this year was no different. Three teams qualifies for the State meet based on place but usually three to four automatically runs under the standard set. Sophomore Oscar Olazo led off the team and he put the Statesmen in first place and in the position they wanted. Junior Alex Cvrk led for the first lap and then the horses came charging and while Cvrk held his own, he could not hold them off. Senior Joel Ryan held his own, running a personal best leg and kept the team in contention and all junior Jason Pennington could do was carry the baton around the track. When the dust had cleared, five teams had qualified for the State meet.

For most of the team, their wonderful season had come to a close but for one special athlete, the season goes on. Junior Jacqueline Hargrove will be competing at the Virginia State meet in three of four events qualified. The long jump and 400m trials are schedule for Friday, June 2^nd and the high jump and 400m finals are schedule for Saturday, June 3^rd, 2006 in Newport News, Virginia @ Todd Stadium.

Hargrove wins two crowns and break her own school record

-Robinson and Olazo finish runner up, twelve (12) regional qualifications

Junior Jacqueline Hargrove endured an up and down indoor season and had the misfortune of being close but not quite during the spring. However, if there is one thing you can count on is her ability to bring it at the Liberty District championship. This year was no different as Hargrove burned up and dominated the track in the long sprints in claiming her 9^th and 10^th, District crown of her career. After failing to qualify for a running event for the first time in her career for the State championship and not winning a District title last year, Hargrove changed everything in one swoop. In one sweet and smooth race, the school record fell again, redemption was complete, her ticket was punched for the state meet and the title was in hand by over three seconds. The 200m dash final provided no chance for her competitors as Hargrove unleashed a strong start to put the race out by the 100m mark. Hargrove collected a surprising 5^th place medal in the high jump despite not practicing or competing in the event until the last two weeks. The meet was not without its disappointment as Hargrove fail to make the finals in the Long Jump competition after fouling his first two jumps and take a safety jump on her third.

Sophomore Oscar Olazo could not be consoled during the indoor season after miss making the regional in the 1000m run. He was determined to not let that feat repeat itself and his competitors knowing his love for leading from the front was determine to hold him back. First half of Olazo’s 800m run his competition got the better of him as they boxed him to the inside. His teammate junior Jason Pennington also had his own tale as he missed competing in the 800m run five days ago because of his commitment to the one he love. Pennington usually a strong finisher did not mind letting the speedsters do the dirty work, as he lay back and with 200m to go started digging into the leaders. Pennington sprint down the outside of the straight away but in that moment provided Olazo the space to escape the inside and give chase of the one man escapee from Thomas Jefferson. Olazo and Pennington would pulled closer and closer with ever stride but ran out of real estate from the winner. But, their effort were rewarded with Olazo (1:58.91) as the runner up in a three second personal best and Pennington the bronze medal in a two second personal best (1:59.37). Pennington’s day started in similar fashion as he produced another huge kick to a personal best in the 1600m run. Here again, he has to give chase of the two leaders from Thomas Jefferson and closed the gap significantly to pull himself to a four second personal best, just miss dipping under the 4:29 mark.

For most people coming back from injuries and to be runner up in District would be great, a wonderful accomplishment, but for Senior Theo Robinson it was just not enough. He been there done that and the only consolation would have been an automatic state qualifier. Robinson had the chance to accomplish both after leading the high jump for most of the competition but Woodson’s Buzz Moorman has the reputation to be a comeback kid and comeback he did. After clearing six feet on the third and final jump, Moorman sailed over the state standard on his first jump to put the pressure on Robinson to accomplish one of his goals to stay in the competition. While Robinson had great jumps on his 2^nd and 3^rd attempt but he’ll have to take his goal of making it to the state at Regional. Robinson closed out an impressive career at the Liberty District championship (indoor and outdoor) in the high jump which saw him finished no lower than 3^rd in his last three year including runner ups, three times. He also medaled five times in the long jump and two times in the triple jump.

Fellow Senior Brandon White came on strong his last two years at the championship but he does make it easy on your heart for the parents and coaches. After battling a case of the foot foul during the discus competition, White seem headed for the same fate in signature event but he paused the disappointment for a minute as he stole the 7^th and final place into the finals. There is where he did his best work, after moving into the 6^th and final position for regional champs, White let the shot lose and jump up one more spot to 5^th and second his 5^th berth to the regional.

The only surprised for junior Lauren Byrne was she was actually competing at the championship, after spending most of her time with the Lacrosse team. But, she took a long enough break from punishing someone to reinforce that she is one of the 6^th best throwers in the District. Byrne did herself two best by showing she is the 4^th best and booking her ticket to the regional.

The biggest surprise to the jumpers at the triple jump pit was the site of sophomore Lance Cheng bounding and leaps over the competition. It was no surprise to himself or his coaches as the improvement started a day earlier when he out did himself in leaping a foot over his personal best. Cheng was setting them up for his favorite event as the young jumper registered his first 40 feet jump of his career. Just like he did indoors, Cheng repeated his regional championship qualification with his second District medal. In all, Cheng won the bet with his brother Brian and became the first to go 40 feet (Senior Brian Cheng does the shot put and could only muster 36feet) and he also record personal best in his events for the championship (long jump, 110mH, 300mH, high jump and triple jump).

The boy’s 4x400m team of senior Joel Ryan, Olazo, junior Alex Cvrk and Pennington ran the fastest time in six seasons but it was only good for 5^th, their time would have been good enough to have won last year’s championship. The same team along with sophomore William Haugh will try to lowers their school record and qualify for states in the 4x800m relay team at Regional. The “A” team did not run but Cvrk, W. Haugh, sophomore Daniel Haugh and Ryan placed 6^th in the 4x800m to collect some hardware. Sophomore bothers William and Daniel Haugh achieved their personal best in the 3200m run but because of the depth in the District will not be advancing to the regional. Their times would have had them going to the championship last year.

The girl’s 4x800m (junior Tanya Khandpur, freshman Lisa Carter, freshman Claire Burgess and junior Antoinette Schanes) and 4x400m (Khandpur, Hargrove, freshman Allyse Golden, Carter) relay teams ran very impressively but just missing medaling as both team finished in 7^th place, one stop out. Khandpur, Carter, Burgess, Schanes (twice) and Golden (three) collected personal best marks in their individual events. Other outstanding performances, freshman Lex Saures finished 9^th in both the Discus and shot put competitions.

Overall the Boy’s team finished 7^th and Girl’s team finished 8^th in the team scoring. The team will next compete at the Northern Regional Championship @ Lake Braddock on Thursday, May 25^th and Friday, May 26^th, 2006 starting at 4:30PM.

*Fastest time in 6 years

Boy’s team wins 4x8 and set new school record

--Hargrove (LJ) and Olazo (800m) take silver.

The pervious record stood on the books for 27 years until the boy’s team took it down last year as expect with the whole team returning the record fell short of it anniversary by 13 days. Unlike last year, when it came in a losing effort at the regional championship, the boy’s team collected the record along with the gold medal at the site of the 2006 spring District champs schedule for May 17^th and May 19^th. The team was led by sophomore Oscar Olazo who put the team in the lead from the start and he would hand off to junior Alex Cvrk who maintained their led. Sophomore William “Alex” Haugh substituted for senior Joel Ryan on the third leg and kept on extending their lead and when it passed the baton off to junior Jason Pennington it was a matter of time as the team over a 60 meter led. Pennington anchored the team in a sub two minute leg to set the new school record, win the event by over 100 meters and qualified for regional championship.

Utilizing the memento by his great run in the relay, Olazo came back hours later to again lead wire to wire in the open 800m to win his heat. Like the relay he had no one to push him, so he ran most of the race by himself and his efforts were rewarded in a silver medal, just missing the gold by 0.20 of a second.

Junior Jacqueline Hargrove had the misfortune of finishing runner up in long jump of every invitational she competed this season. At Metro Run and Walk invitational she thought she had the event won, when home, only to find out someone out leaped her overnight, at C.H. Flowers, she qualified for the State championship but lost the title by one inch (17-2 to 17-1), back at the Nike Invitational she again took second in the event and finally this weekend, she lost the title to rival Madison’s Veronica Day by an inch (16-9 to 16-8). Hargrove also finished 3^rd in the 100m dash in a Liberty District qualifier but missed qualifying for the regional championship by 0.02 of a second (13.09 with the qualifier mark at 13.07). Her day started with a 2^nd leg on the bronze medal 4x800m relay team. The team of junior Tanya Khandpur, Hargrove, first time 800m runner junior Jamie Schiller and freshman Lisa Carter ran the first time since the 2002 team of Sara Hoffman (C’03), Elizabeth Tran (C’03), Tara Simonton (C’03) and Beth Stein (04) qualified for regional championship (10:37.32 to 10:44.22).

Senior Brandon White medal for the 2^nd meet in a row by improving on his 4^th place finished last week at Nike Spring Invitational to the bronze medal position. Junior Lauren Byrne competed in her second meet of the season automatically qualified in the shot put competition and a 4^th place medal in the process. Byrne also competed in the discus competition for the first time and finished 22^nd. Senior Theo Robinson also returning from injuries placed 4^th in the high jump to collect medal in all invitational he has competed including a gold medal at Metro Run and Walk Invitational. Sophomore Isaac Beverly and Lance Cheng automatically qualified for the District championship in the 300m hurdles and had personal best in the 110mH. Freshman Lex Saures is going to have some difficult decision next year between track and field and baseball as he joined the elites in Marshall’s great throwing history with his first over 40 foot throw in the shot put.

Sophomore Daniel Haugh continues his comeback to track with two personal best including a nearly 10 seconds drop in the 1600m run and nearly 4 seconds in the 3200m run. But, the biggest performance beside the 4x800m school record has to be freshman Patrick Sullivan’s amazing 45 second personal best in the 3200m run. Challenged by the coaches to dip below the 12 minute make, Sullivan did not disappoint and response with a wonderful race.

Sophomore Katherine Heffelmire continues to do her work quietly and although she is not completely happy without her goal of seven (7) feet clearance. Heffelmire continues her historical season by clearing a height for the 6^th meet this spring season.

Thanks goes out to the all coaches for a wonderful season and the great work they’ve done to prepare the athletes to performance at their best. Special thanks and congrats to Marine Corps Marathon Hall of Famer Coach Darrell General for preparing the boy’s team in their pursuit of the school record for a second season. Thank you also to the parents who have been so supportive of the coaches and most importantly the athletes.

The next meet is the Liberty District championship schedule for Wednesday, May 17^th and Thursday, May 18^th, 2006 back at Thomas Jefferson high School starting at 4:30pm on both days.

Senior Brandon White had to endue many complicated issues this season and he final got something to show for it as he placed 4th in the Shot put competition. Fellow senior Theo Robinson coming back from a injuries fought through the pain to place 5th in the High Jump competition.

Sophomore William "Alex" Haugh may have had to wait the longest (10:00PM) to compete and finished the lowest of the four athletes in the meet. However, his accomplishment and the best of all consider that he dropped over a quarter of a minute from his pervious personal best (16.46) to achieve an automatic District qualifier and set himself up for a run at another regional qualifier.

Boy’s team wins dual meet against Jefferson

--Hargrove and Robinson wins 3 events each.

Senior Theo Robinson led the boy’s team to their first win (68 to 39) of the season with three individual wins against indoor Liberty District champion Thomas Jefferson High School. Robinson closed out his final meet at home in memorable fashion by winning the long jump, 100m and high jump. Senior Joel Ryan, junior Jason Pennington and sophomore Oscar Olazo combined to win two events which would seem strange considering that only one relay was involved. The three finished in a tie for first in the 400m dash to split the win and then joined with Alex Cvrk to win the 4x400m relay in a Penn Relay qualifying mark and season best.

Senior Brandon White won the shot put for the second time this season at home while sophomores Isaac Beverly and Lance Cheng chipped in with wins in the 300m and 110m hurdles, respectively. Junior Yanwei Liu won the 200m dash to take the team lead and improve on his automatic Liberty District qualifier in the event. Freshman Lex Saures added six points with his two 2^nd place finishes in the shot put and discus while fellow freshman Roberto Blanca (200m) and senior Brian Cheng (Discus and shot put) added three points.

On the women’s side, junior Jacqueline Hargrove won three events all bettering the Liberty District qualification mark. Hargrove won the long jump, 100m and 200m. Fellow junior Antoinette Schanes won the 800m run and took a close 2^nd in the 1600m run. Freshman Allyse Golden had a very impressive day with dropping nearly a second off her time in the 200m dash and nearly three-quarter of a second off of her best in the 100m dash to track 4^th and 3^rd, respectively in each event. Junior Jamie Schiller grabbed 3^rd (400m) and 4^th (200m), freshman Lisa Carter grabbed 3^rd (1600m) and 4^th (800m) and junior Tanya Khandpur returned to the track and took 3^rd in the 800m.

All together nine (9) automatic Liberty District qualifies were achieved and forty-one (41) lettering mark surpassed.

The weather could have been better, go to be one of the best meets we’ve had in years. We want to thank all the parents for their help and support. Thank you to the coaches for doing a wonderful job with the athletes and the meet and the athletes for putting in all the good work and reaping the rewards. Also, thanks to the coaches from Thomas Jefferson for assisting with the events, scoring and results.

The next meet is a scheduled rain soaking according to the forecasters at C.H. Flowers in Springdale, Maryland. The bus leaves at 7:00AM.

Other wins came from sophomore Katherine Heffelmire who put the team in first place a full 24 hours before the meet after competing in the pole vault at South Lakes on Tuesday. Junior Jason Pennington continues to have a wonderful start to his spring season by winning the 3200m ran in run away fashion.

Senior Theo Robinson scored his first of hopefully many big wins this season by outlasting forty-six (46) competitors to capture the Metro Run and Walk crown in the high jump. Robinson cleared 6ft to be one of only two athletes to mark the height and just missed qualifying for the state meet but did qualify for the regional championships.

However, while she was sleeping Park View sophomore stole her crown jumping two feet over her personal best. Hargrove came back on Saturday to place 4^th in the 400m dash in a regional automatic qualifier. She also placed 7^th in the 100m and 22^nd in the 200m dash, both in automatic Liberty District qualifiers.

The boy’s distance medley relay team placed 3^rd to improve on their 6^th place finish back in 2003. The team of sophomore William “Alex” Haugh, senior Joel Ryan and juniors Alex Cvrk and Jason Pennington ran a record best for this coaching regime by over 30 seconds.

Sophomore Isaac Beverly has four personal best in the 110m hurdles, 300m hurdles, long jump and triple jump. Sophomore Lance Cheng had three personal best in the 110m hurdles, long jump and triple jump. Freshman Allyse Golden had two personal best in the 100m and 200m dash.

Heffelmire break outdoor school record, nine qualified for District Championship

-Hargrove (2), Saures, White, boy’s 4x4, 4x8 wins

The statesmen spring track and field could not have gotten off to a better start as the team members established a new school record, won eight events, qualified nine people automatically for the Liberty District championship and thirty one earn their letter provide they finished the season in good standing.

Sophomore Katherine Heffelmire under the watchful eyes of father and Coach Eric Heffelmire became the first woman in school history to clear a height in the pole vault and added the outdoor to go with her indoor record. Heffelimire’s mark of 6ft 6in equal the mark set during the winter season.

Nine time Liberty District Champion, junior Jacqueline Hargrove started off her season in normal dominating fashion in winning the 100m and 200m dash and taking 2^nd in the long jump.

Freshman Lex Saures debut in his high school track and field career could be have been any better as he won the discus competition and placed 3^rd in the shot put competition. Senior Brandon White added the shot put win and brought back flashes of the dominating Statesmen era under former Coach and current Assistance DSA Joe Swarm when the Marshall won at least one District title for seven straight years. The knowledge was passed to current throwing coach Jose Portillo who was a part of that run and still owns the indoor District meet record.

The team had to hail the appearance of indoor MVP and sophomore Oscar Olazo who combined senior Joel Ryan, juniors Alex Cvrk and Jason Pennington to win the 4x400m relays, he also combined with sophomores Steven Dungan and Matthew Stripe and freshman Patrick Sullivan to win the 4x800m relay race. Olazo also made a guest appearance in the 200m dash and automatically qualified in the event for the Liberty District championship. The team showcase their strength and range of their training by Maine Corp Marathon Hall of Famer Darrell General as all runners train primarily as distance runners. In the open events, Junior Jason Pennington and sophomore William “Alex” Haugh beat up on each other and it probably swing the advance to their opponent as they both finished 2^nd and 3^rd, respectively in the 800m and 1600m runs.

Senior Theo Robinson was his usual busy self as he scored in ever event he entered including three 2^nd places and two 4^th places. Robinson first took 2^nd in the long jump, 2^nd in the high jump in a District qualifying mark, 2^nd as a member of the 4x100m relay team, 4^th in the 100m and finally closed the day with a 4^th place District qualifying performance in the 200m dash. Robinson led three other statesmen to district qualification in the 200m including Olazo, Ryan and junior Yanwei Liu.

Sophomores Lance Cheng and Isaac Beverly showed off their range under the guidance of Coach Brian Tullock and Coach Theodore Robinson by scoring in two jumping and two hurdle events. Cheng grabbed two 3^rd in the 110m and 300m hurdles and two 4^th places in the long and high jumps. While Beverly grabbed 3^rd in the long jump and two 4^th places in the hurdles. They did stop competing against each other and combined with fellow jumpers and former hurdlers Robinson and Liu to carry the baton around the track to a 2^nd place finish.

Senior Joel Ryan placed 3^rd in the 400m dash and grabbed an automatic District qualifier in the 200m and was member of the winning 4x400m relay team, junior Alex Cvrk placed 4^th in the 400m, junior Jamie Schiller also placed 4^th in the 400m dash and senior Brian Cheng placed 3^rd in the discus to pull the team to 2^nd place in the overall scoring.

Team ends season at States

The team of juniors Shannon McVey, Jacqueline Hargrove and senior Theo Robinson concluded the winter season with appearances at the Virginia AAA State championship. Junior Shannon McVey placed 20th in the 55m dash with a time of 7.54 while Hargrove and Robinson fail to register a mark in the long and high jump.

Hargrove, Robinson & McVey qualifies for States

Three statesmen booked their tickets to the Virginia AAA States this past Saturday at the site of the championship. Junior Jacqueline Hargrove qualified for her fifth State championship in as many seasons (three indoor and two outdoor) with her 4^th place finish in the long jump. Hargrove will look to improve on her 10^th place showing at the Indoor State meet last year. One major change to her schedule involves the running event where it will be first time Hargrove will not be competing on the track after finishing 9^th in the 300m and 10^th in the 55m dash.

Compete in her first state meet and the only one of the three to qualify in a running event will be junior Shannon McVey. Running in her first 55m dash finals at regional, McVey ran a personal best to grab 4^th in the finals and solidify her automatic state qualifier from earlier in the season.

Two things at the top of Senior Theo Robinson’s wish list for the season were to win the Liberty District and qualify for the State meet in the high jump. The District crown fell through therefore Robinson put it in the past and attacked his next goal. He had to be encouraged because the regional was at the site of his pervious best in week two of the season. It was no surprise when he was one of seven jumps to clear 5ft 10in and set secured his place in the state championship when he clear 6ft. Robinson did get some measure of accomplishment and comfort with his defeat of the district champion and runner up.

Senior Brandon White continued his wonderful ending to the season with another personal best but missed making the finals by one spot in the shot put. Freshman Tara Cappiello completed her fantastic season with a near personal best in the 1000m with her 15^th place finish and led off the 4x400m relay (T. Cappiello, McVey, junior Gina Cappiello, junior Jamie Schiller) to 13^th place. Junior Kevin Gollogly ran a personal best to finish 21^st behind teammate senior Joel Ryan in the 500m dash. The 4x200m relay team of juniors Hargrove, McVey, Schiller and G. Cappiello finished 12^th in their event. Sophomore Lance Cheng competing in his first regional championship placed 20th in the triple jump.

The state meet will be held at GMU starting Friday, March 3^rd and ending Saturday, March 4^th, 2006.

Track and Field

Marshall's Hargrove Has an Eventful Day

Seven Top-6 Finishes at Liberty Meet

By Sean P. Flynn

Special to The Washington Post
Thursday, February 16, 2006; Page VA17

Marshall junior Jacqueline Hargrove's talent on the track is impressive -- she is the school record holder in the 200-, 300-, 400-, 500- and 800-meter runs -- but what has amazed Statesmen Coach Clifford Wong even more is her tremendous maturity and drive to become better.

Hargrove stayed busy at the AAA Liberty District championship meet last Thursday, winning the 55 and 300, finishing second in the long and triple jumps, and finishing sixth in the high jump and shot put. She also ran on the third-place 4x400-meter relay, accounting for 44 of Marshall's 64 points at the Prince George's Sports & Learning Complex in Landover.

"She's a tremendous athlete and a tremendous student, and she has been working hard ever since she started here as a freshman," Wong said. "She's a very mature person. She knows what she can do and wants to get better."

A talented athlete also in soccer and basketball, Hargrove has opted to devote almost all of her athletic time to track, a sport at which she has had ample success. She has won three consecutive Liberty District titles in the 55-meter dash, was regional runner-up in the triple jump last year and earned all-state honors in the 500 by finishing fifth. Her time of 42.19 in the 300 set a district-meet record.

Jefferson swept the Liberty team titles with ease, the girls scoring 156 points to Langley's 75 and the boys scoring 161 to South Lakes's 97.

The Colonial girls were led by senior Stephany Reaves, who won the 1,000 and 1,600 and ran on the champion 4x800-meter relay. Other winners were Kayley Sullivan in the 500, Kristen Sourbeer in the shot put, Megan Debettencourt in the pole vault and Anastasia Chrisfield in the 3,200.

Junior Taylor Bostick led the boys with wins in the 1,000 and 1,600, and he was on the winning 4x800 relay. Ryan Kruba won the pole vault, Hersh Singh won the 3,200, and the 4x400 relay also took first.

Other standouts were South Lakes junior Gabe Itoka, who won the boys' 55 and 300, and Madison junior jumpers Justin Duncan and Veronica Day, who respectively swept the boys' and girls' long and triple jumps.

Concorde District

Westfield's girls and Centreville's boys captured district titles on Friday at the Sports & Learning Complex in Landover.

Westfield was led by Kerry Hartman's wins in the 1,000 and 1,600, and the Bulldogs finished with 130 points. Runner-up Centreville finished with 115 points behind sophomore Brittni Finch, who won the long, triple and high jumps and the 55 dash.

For Westfield, Aimee Kodat won the shot put, Haley Boone won the 55 hurdles and the 4x400 and 4x800 relays also won.

Centreville's boys had 134 points, ahead of Robinson's 91. Jamal Crowelle won the triple jump and 55 hurdles and ran on the winning 4x200 and 4x400 relays. Junior Brandon Davis, who ran on both relays, won the long jump, and junior Brandon Williams, who ran on the 4x400, won the 55 dash. Alex Grant won the high jump.

National District

Edison swept the district titles at Episcopal High on Friday. Senior Courtney Conley led the girls with wins in the 55, 300 and long jump, and she ran on the winning 4x400-meter relay. The Eagles' girls had 160 points to Yorktown's 99 1/2 .

Senior Justin Smith won the 300 and triple jump, and senior Edward Baldwin won the high jump and long jump and finished second in the triple jump and 55 meters. The Eagles also swept the 4x200, 4x400 and 4x800 relay en route to 199 points, well ahead of Mount Vernon's 75 1/2 .

Patriot District

The Patriot District meet, originally scheduled for Saturday at Episcopal, was postponed to yesterday because of snow. It ended too late to be included in this edition.

Hargrove win two crowns, 3^rd straight 55m dash title

--Cheng, T.Cappiello, Ryan, Gollogly, girl’s 4x4 qualifies for Regional champs.

One thing has been constant for the last three seasons, the Liberty District championship always end two weeks before the Northern Regional championship and junior Jacqueline Hargrove will win the 55m dash title. If there was an award for outstanding athlete of the meet or the District, Hargrove would easily take the honor after going seven medals in seven events. This year the road to the 55m title had to travel through another Statesmen path as fellow junior Shannon McVey came in ranked number one in the District and the only sprinter with a State championship qualifier. The two-time defending champion always seem to step up her game during the championship and this year was no different however it was close as Hargrove needed the full length of the straight way to pull off her third straight title in a tight race with McVey (7.58 to 7.64). The teammates would collect 18 points with their one two finish in the event.

Hargrove had no such competition in the 300m dash and she ran away in relaxing fashion to take her first 300m dash title. Her time of 42.19 was below her Statesmen school record and her personal best however it was fast enough to break Fairfax Alyssa Aiken’s nine year old Liberty District championship meet record. In her final field event of the meet, Hargrove took only two of four jumps to claim a runner up and silver medal in the triple jump. The final event of the day saw the Lady Statesmen looking to defend their 4x400m relay crown which required Hargrove to pull off an amazing come back victory from last year. This year was not expected to be no different as junior Gina Cappiello probably the second fastest 400m runner was missing due to illness. But, her replacement could not have fall farther from the tree in her younger sister and freshman 2006 regional 1000m run qualifier Tara Cappiello.

In the 1000m run, Cappiello knew it would be a challenge to make it to the regional championship because of the domination and invasion of Jefferson. She also was behind the cue ball and three spots down the entry list in her run to the championship. But, Cappiello was up to the challenge like she had been all season and after buying her time in the middle of the pack the sprint speeder in her took over. So, in the championship and final lap, Cappiello took off and didn’t stop until she had cross the line in 6^th and final spot for the regional championship. Coming back for the 4x400m to represent her family name was a pleasure and honor. District 55m dash runner McVey led the team off and keep the team in striking distance, junior Jamie Schiller a main stay in the 2005 championship win and a member of the school record 4x200m relay kept the pace up and handed off the baton to Cappiello in 4^th place with 3^rd need to make it to regional. Surprisingly, the Langley team came from out of the blue and was running away with the event thus taking the chances of another title win our of reach but 2^nd and 3^rd place for a spot to regional and a perfect seven for seven medal haul was in striking distance. When Hargrove received the baton she would need another strong comeback like last year to secure her goals, the dream seem out of reach with two hundred meters to go. However, hard work and the heart was the characteristic of the team and its leader was full of it, so with three hundred meters completed, Hargrove took off like it was the 55m meter dash to steal 3^rd from the Jeffersons to collect her seventh medal and carry her team to regional for a third straight year.

Senior Joel Ryan and juniors Kevin Gollogly and Alex Cvrk were group together in the same heat of the boy’s 500m with the winners advancing to the regional championship. For the first half of the race, it was all Statesmen however a Madison runner decided to challenge the group and try to shoot ahead for the lead. But the Statesmen would have nothing of it as they pulled away in the final straight away to win their heat in one, two, three finishes. When the final heats were ran, the top two, Ryan and Gollogly would extend their season with Cvrk finishing in the hated 7^th spot of an individual event.

On the field, Senior Theo Robinson wanted to go out in style which meant winning the high jump competition. He had hope after finishing 2^nd in the last two championships however McLean Doug Zimmer graduated and it was suppose to be his time. Maybe, it was the pace of the event or battling the multiple events schedule had an impact on Robinson as he could not achieved the goal. He would capture a bronze medal to extend his season to George Mason where the last time there Robinson had a personal best. Sophomore Lance Cheng has been gradually improving through the season and this meet was no difference and it showed in the triple jump. Through the season, Pearl Watts has been giving Cheng a seasonal mark of 38ft 10in, this time he did not disappoint and hopped and jumped to his personal best. His mark per Watts’ prediction would be good enough to box his place in his first regional championship and a 5^th place medal. Another prediction accomplished was his defeat of his top rated teammate which he did in the triple jump after Theo Robinson finished 6^th in the event.

The final day was not without its heartbreak for the Statesmen as two relays finished in the hated 4^th place and one MVP type season came to a disappointing ending. While the girl’s 4x400m relay team needed to score a top three place to reach the regional championship, the girl’s 4x200m had already secured their place in the championship. They girl’s still wanted to collect a medal for their effort however it was going to be tough because they were missing two of their four top runners due to illness and competition limits. The team ran closely through out the race but could not over take the three challengers running their full squad and had to settle for 4 team points instead of a medal. The boy’s 4x400m relay team unfortunately lost their berth and two of their fastest leg due to competition limits. Like the girl’s the boy’s kept it close but similarly could not match team that were running at full speed.

Sophomore Oscar Olazo had been having a very good season as a member of the relay teams and in his individual events. However, he suffered one of the most heartbreaking district meet you can imagine. Olazo had the displeasure of finishing in the most hurtful place in all three of his events. On day one, his 4x800m relay team ran a seasonal best but finished 4^th, his only individual event saw his ran another personal best in a very tight race but it was only good enough for 7^th in the event and finally he had to anchor the boy’s 4x400m relay to a 4^th place finish in the event. Every time he crossed the finish line it was one place too late, each time missing to qualifying for the regional championship.

Fellow sophomore William “Alex” Haugh had high hope for in the 3200m run after qualifying in the event for the spring regional however his chances were going to be tough after Jefferson joined the District. It was even more intimidating this year because they had eleven (11) of sixteen (16) runners in the final heat. W. Haugh ran strong through out the race however the pace set by the pack of teammates stretched the field out toward the end. W. Haugh would finish one spot ahead of his brother Daniel Haugh who won his heat in a personal best after dropping 13second over a week ago. W. Haugh also had another personal best in the 1600m ran over a week ago.

On the woman’s side, sophomore Ana Tapia afforded to run the 3200m race due to the meet trials and finals been schedule a week apart dropped over 41 second off her personal best to finish in the top ten. Tapia would pull freshman Lisa Carter to a personal best after she dropped over 19 seconds in the event.

The girl’s team finished a respectable 3^rd in the team scoring behind Jefferson and Langley. The boy’s team finished 6^th in the team scoring ahead of defending champion McLean.

The teams next compete in two weeks at the Northern Virginia Regional championship schedule for Feb. 25^th, 2006 at George Mason University. The competition is schedule for start at 9:00AM.

Liberty District Day one

Four Statesmen book their ticket to the regional championship

--Hargrove collects three medals

The first day of the Liberty District championship at Landover, Maryland had its shares of celebration and heartbreaks with four statesmen punching their ticket to the Northern Regional championship in six events, two put themselves in the position to add their name and event to the party list and one relay coming up just short. Seniors Theo Robinson and Brandon White and juniors Lauren Byrne, Jacqueline Hargrove collected their medals and their invitational to the championship.

As it has been the last three years, junior Jacqueline Hargrove had used this championship as her personal treasure collection hunting ground. This year was set up to be no different as she was entered in seven events including newly discovered skills in the shot put. Day one had three medals event schedule with trials in two for the finals in a week. Hargrove’s first event was the long jump competition where she was the defending champion but she lacked the sharpness that comes with competing due to her late start in the event during the regular season. Either way, she was at familiar place and it showed as Hargrove collected a silver medal in the competition by jumping a foot over her seasonal best. The high jump competition has to feel like the step-child as Hargrove only clear a height in the last meet and at the District champs it was sandwich between her two defending events, the long jump and the 55m dash. The running back and forth between the two other events probably didn't allow Hargrove a chance to clear a higher height as she struggle to 6^th in the event. The shot put competition must really feel negligent as it did not even receive any attention the pervious two years but it was happen to be added to the program. Hargrove did not want to compete in the event but she was given the options and encouragement to give it a shot. On her first throw, she achieved a personal best and it was surprising good enough to steal a 6^th place and her third and final meet of day one.

Hargrove’s busy day was not finish as she avoided a third step on the line to blaze a season best and the fastest qualifying time in the 300m dash. In 55m dash Hargrove will try and win a third straight title as she advance to the finals of the event with a seasonal best. Her competition will come from Lane 4 where teammate and fellow junior Shannon McVey will line up. McVey came into the championship as the top ranking seed and only athlete with a regional or state qualifier in the event. In the preliminaries, she proved the honor was not bogus (as some people in the regional thought) by recording the fastest time for the round. McVey proved it again by winning her semi-final heat to reach the final and setup a much anticipate showdown with her teammate Hargrove. Also, in the event fellow junior Elizabeth “Blair” Monroe make the semi-final for the 2^nd year in a row and this year she finally dipped below the eight second mark (7.99).

Junior Lauren Byrne had a tough season and is still working herself into shape but she wanted to get back to the regional championship. After competing in only three regular season meets, Byrne know it was going to be tough however the practices has been going well and the presence of former coach and currently District meet boy’s shot put record holder had to be encouraging. Getting four throws instead of the normal six for the championship did not make a difference as Byrne improved on her 5^th place finish last year to take the bronze medal. Senior Brandon White had a similar season, he only competed in four regular season meets but the final meet had him hopeful as he cross the 40ft barrier. In the spring championship, White knew he need to setup to make the regional championship and he used the same mentality to earn his spot to regional. White again improved on his personal best in clearing the 41 feet barrier and just missing the 42 feet to take 4^th and extend his season. Sophomore Doug Howell out duel his brother junior Frank Howell to take 9^th place in a personal best and pushing his brother down to 10^th in the shot put event.

Senior Theo Robinson had a reduced schedule in the jumps with only the long jump schedule for the first day. He certainly took advantage of the rest grab 5^th in the event in a seasonal best and booked his place in the regional for the 3^rd straight season. Robinson did most of work on the track where he mad the semi-finalist of the 55m in a personal best and missed another in the 300m dash. Senior Jeff Miller also made the 55m dash semi-finals with a personal best.

Sophomore Lance Cheng had a good day with two personal best in the 55m hurdlers just missing the finals by one spot and another personal best in the Long jump competition. Cheng led two other statesmen hurdlers (juniors Ben Yazman and sophomore Keith Henning) to personal best in the event. Fellow sophomore Matt Muise also had a personal best in the long jump.

The meet was not filled with all good stories, the boy’s 4x800m relay came into the meet ranked 2^nd and high off of their medal winning performances through the regular season. They are also the defending Liberty District spring champion in the event however they knew it was going to be a huge task to over take the distance power and new member, Thomas Jefferson. The ultimate goal to make it to regional either by taking top three the event or running a regional qualifying mark, both was within grasp. Sophomore Oscar Olazo led off the relay team and as usually took to the front, he hand off the baton in close competition with Jefferson to junior Alex Cvrk who keep up the pace and battle around the track with Jefferson and Woodson. Junior Jason Pennington having a tough season held down the late surge from the rest of the field and pulled away in the final lap to hand off the stick in third place. Fellow junior Kevin Gollogly ran a personal best on the final leg but he could not catch a speeding Langley anchor leg who beat him to the line. The boy’s wonderful indoor season end and they will have to wait one more year to earn that excluding indoor regional berth once again after taking 4^th for a second straight year. The team has to feel disappointing because they did they best in running their fastest time of the season therefore it took an extra-ordinary effort by the teams who beat them out of the top spots. The girl’s 4x800m relay team of sophomore Ana Tapia, junior Tanya Khandpur, freshmen Lisa Carter and Tara Cappiello finished 6^th in a seasonal best.

In the other no final races, sophomore Daniel Haugh made his bid to make his first regional championship by winning the slow sections of the boy’s 3200m run in a near thirteen (13) second personal best. He led most of the race and pulled away in the final two laps however, D. Haugh will have to win a week before he knows his position for the regional when the finals are complete on Feb. 9^th. Sophomore Ana Tapia battled junior Antoinette Schanes to the final line in winning the slow section of the 1600m run. They two will have to wait a week to learn their final position. In the men’s 1000m, junior Alex Cvrk placed 2^nd in a personal best and in the girl’s 55m hurdles junior Melissa Neo placed 15^th, junior Gina Cappiello placed 10^th in the 300m dash with a personal best.

The finals of the championship will be held on Thursday, Feb. 9^th, 2006 in Landover, Maryland starting at 4:30pm.

Boy’s team wins 2^nd straight regional meet, McVey qualifies for State championship

--team win three relays and seven individual events

Usually the final local meet before the Liberty District championship is used mainly as a showcase meet for the junior varsity athletes to get their last races in for the season. The varsity athletes typically take a backseat to the future of the team however they do get a chance to run the relays and a couple of open events to stay sharp. The varsity athletes such as junior Shannon McVey, sophomore Oscar Olazo, junior Jacqueline Hargrove, Senior Theo Robinson, junior Kevin Gollogly, sophomore William “Alex” Haugh and freshman Tara Cappiello.

Junior Shannon McVey gradually has been getting better and better each meet and no expect her to put her best race to put together her best race of the season at a very slippery and normally slow Thomas Jefferson Middle School track. However, McVey is not a typical athlete and she defined the odds and ran a state championship qualifying and team six-year best performance in the 55m dash. Her performance pushed defending District champion and teammate junior Jacqueline Hargrove to 2^nd in the race and on the six year best list. Hargrove’s day was not a disappointment as she came back to claim two wins in the high jump and the 300m dash. She probably had her hardest challenge in her next event, the shot put. Hargrove competed in the event for the first time took 6^th and added another accomplishment to her long list of achievement in her high school career. McVey and Hargrove would come back at the end of the meet to take a convincing win in the 4x400m relay, they were joined on the team by the Cappiello sisters Gina and Tara to crush the competition in the event. Freshman Tara Cappiello wanted some pay back after she was wrongfully disqualified after winning the 1000m run. The “game committee” felt they should disqualify her and the top three from the event because the timers (no fault of their own) fail to register a time for top three winners after they cross the finish line at the finish line instead of in a chute. Officials blame the coaches as one reason for the athletes not running into the chute, instead of admitting they screw up the time. In my book and everyone watching the meet including the head timers and meet officials, Cappiello convincingly won the race.

Sophomore Oscar Olazo continues to have an outstanding season and what was suppose to be a relaxing run up the Liberty District championship was turned into statement race. Olazo competing in his new signature event led for most of the race and lost his lead to one of the top runners expecting to be at the championship but pride and strength out sprint experience to the line to take a good win and sent the message of “look out for me in two weeks.” Olazo’s returned three events later in the 4x400m and dropped another strong lead off leg to put the team in front to a wire-to-wire win. On the team was junior Kevin Gollogly who completed an undefeated day after winning the 500m and was a member of the winning 4x800m relay team, senior Joel Ryan who was a member of 4x8 team and placed 5^th in the 500m and the final member of the 4x4 team was junior Alex Cvrk who was also on the 4x8 and placed 2^nd in the 500m. The team completed an impressive undefeated season in the 4x4 and a 3 and 1 record in the 4x8 for the regional organized meets at EHS and TJMS. Sophomore William “Alex” Haugh was the final member of the 4x8 team who came back at the end of the meet to win his 3200m run was undefeated in that event during the regional series.

In the field events, senior Theo Robinson rebounded from a couple of tough weeks to win the high jump and narrowly missed clearing the state qualifying mark. Junior Jacqueline Hargrove competing in the high jump for the first time in nearly a year won the event. On the back end of the field house, senior Brandon White was looking to put together a good meet to go along with his practices. White finally got a little satisfaction when his shot landed over 40 feet mark and put him in the running to duplicate his outdoor regional championship participation. Like White, junior Frank Howell finally started showing signs of learning the event during the week, really does the practices reflect the meet expect in this case. Howell on his first throw surpassed his pervious best by over three feet and confirm the old saying “practice make perfect.” Junior Lauren Byrne had not competed in nearly eight weeks and it showed in her performance however toward the competition she got better. Her mark was good enough for 4^th place to keep her streak in of scoring point in every regional meet in her career.

The relays and individual event winners combine with other scoring from sophomore Lance Cheng (55mh – 2^nd, high jump – 4^th), senior Vince Reese (5^th – high jump) and sophomore Steven Dungan (4^th – 3200m) propelled the boy’s team to their 2^nd straight win in the regional quad and five way meet series. The scoring was Marshall (72), Jefferson (62), Langley (62), South Lakes (29) and Wakefield (10). The girl’s team finished 2^nd (68) behind Langley (90) and in front of Jefferson (53), Wakefield (16) and South Lakes (11).

The team next competes on February 3^rd, 2006 in the Liberty District trials at Landover, MD schedule to start at 4:30PM. Events schedule to go off 4x8, 55m hurdles, 55m dash, 1600m (unseeded) run, 300m dash, 1000m (unseeded) run and 3200m (unseeded) run. In the field, girls and boys shot put, girl’s high jump, girl’s long jump and boy’s long jump

4x800m Relay team takes bronze at Keydets Invitational

--Hargrove medals and qualifies for Regional

How many of you have been to place for the first time and got there and was just shocked? Shocked layout of the building, the streets, the hotel and entertainment, well, our first and probably our … appearance in Lexington was greeted with such shock and amazement. However, what was not surprising was the boy’s 4x800m relay medal run. Starting with their undefeated Liberty District 2005 spring season, their Liberty District championship gold medal, their final appearance of 2005 spring at the Northern Regional Championship when they broke the school record and their photo finish defeat at George Mason Invitational, expectations has been high and the boys have not disappoint. They came into the meet ranked number two and gunning for revenge of their defeat at GMU to North Stafford. However, unlike most meets when the 4x800m relay is usually the first event, the team had to endure, a ten hour wait which included 42 heats in the 500m dash, 63 heats in the 300m and 24 heats in the 4x200m relay on the only invitational, we attended on a three lane track. But, oh the wait was not in vain, at 7:45PM, the team walked off the track with a medal in a major invitational (…because they was 67 team entered), vengeance over their North Stafford and an experience in a place we will never forget. Officially, the team of sophomore Oscar Olazo, juniors Alex Crvk, Jason Pennington and Kevin Gollogly placed 3^rd of 36 team to hit the starting line.

On the girl’s side, junior Jacqueline Hargrove had a mix of yes and no throughout the day. She placed 13^th in the 55m dash in a season best after waiting in the line for the two hours in this new junior varsity format for invitationals of open pit for long and triple jumps and missed winning the event with a half an inch foul on her final jump. Hargrove came back a few hours later to grabbed seasonal best and a medal in the 300m dash in the 33^rd heat. Her final event, the triple jump would feature her third season best of the meet and it would prove to be a regional qualifier to make hour and a half wait for the completion of her four jumps worth it.

Senior Theo Robinson had an assorted amount of results after having to endure long lines at the long and triple jump pits and multiple heats in the sprints. The wait at the jumps long including a two and half hours at the long jump and it had an effect, as Robinson could not get into a flow and his performance showed. His long jump was short, his high jump didn’t get better and his sprints were disappointing. However, given better times between jumps and he showed what he can do. Taking the tactic to wait until the line got smaller paid dividend with Robinson’s final jump putting him into the magical 40ft club.

Junior Shannon McVey had a mix day also, she took back her District lead (based on last week’s ranking) and defeat her teammate and defending champion Hargrove in the 55m dash. However, McVey’s unfamiliarity with a banked track caught her off guard and she did not perform, as she would have like. Sophomore Lance Cheng had a good meet with a personal best in the triple jump and a near personal best in the 55m hurdles.

The team next competes on Friday, January 27^th, 2006 @ Thomas Jefferson Middle School in Arlington at 5:30PM. We need help with working both the boy’s and girl’s shot put competition.

Boy’s team wins meet, girl’s dominate and Heffelimire set school record

-team wins 4^th meet in 6 years

Its hard to go a month between meets and expected to be sharp and dominating. After having four meets in December, the Statesmen had to deal with a three week layoff however the rest did wonders as the team came out hunger for competition. The boy’s teams won two relays, sweep the top three spots in the 1000m, the top two spots in the 3200m run and scored three in the 500m. On the girl’s side, the team stomped the competition in winning the two sprint relays and two teammates were tied for the win the 55m and history was made in Statesmen sports tradition.

Sophomore Katherine Heffelmire is a well accomplished academic scholar at Marshall however she can now say, she had accomplished something no one in Marshall history has ever and can ever lay claim. For Heffelmire has soar higher than any other female athlete in Marshall’s long athletic history including the great Dale Wallace (Class of 1979). After seven pervious attempts, Heffelmire successfully clear a height in the pole Vault competition. Her first height was 6ft surpassing Dale Wallace’s high jump make of 5ft 11in to become the highest Lady Statesmen in flight. She then attempted and successful cleared 6ft 6in to add stamp and seal to her pervious accomplishment. Congrats to Heffelmire on becoming the first woman to clear a height in the Pole Vault in Marshall’s history. But, I believe Coach Eric Heffelmire said it best, “We just when from zero to history in one leap.” Congrats to athlete and coach on their accomplishment.

On the track, the boy’s team en-route to their 3^rd meet win in six years was led by sophomores Oscar Olazo, William “Alex” Haugh and Lance Cheng along with senior Joel Ryan. Olazo won the 1000m run in a personal best and lead juniors Alex Cvrk and Kevin Gollogly to one, two, three finish in the event. In the longer run, William “Alex” Haugh led his brother, Daniel Haugh to a one to two finish in 3200m run. Senior Joel Ryan took care of the middle distance by winning the 500m dash and leading two others (junior Yanwei Liu – 3^rd and freshman John Peterman – 5^th) to scoring finishes.

Sophomore Lance Cheng captured his first career win in the long jump competition, grabbed 2^nd in the triple jump to go with another 2^nd in his traditional running specialty, the 55m hurdles. He was followed home in the hurdles by junior Benjamin Yazman in a personal best and in the both field events, sophomore Matthew Muise added points with his 5^th place finishes.

Senior Brian Cheng competing for the first time this season and in winter track and field took 2^nd place in the shot put and secured a personal best in the 55m dash. Freshman Matt Regets improved his throw by three feet to take 4^th place in the shot put competition; he also had a personal best in the 55m dash. Senior Vince Reese captured two 3^rd places in the high jump and the 300m dash. He was lead home in the 300m dash by sophomore William “Bill” Lyle who had personal best in the event and in the 500m. Senior Jeff Miller round out the final scoring with his 5^th place in the 55m dash. The final score was GCM (79), McLean (57) TCW (47) and Madison (41).

On the girl’s side, all the sprinters were finally at the same meet since the George Mason Invitational and their domination of the competition return in grand style. The team of juniors Shannon McVey, Blair Monroe, Jamie Schiller and Jacqueline Hargrove ran away from the competition from the gun and never looked back in the 4x200m relay. Follow junior Gina Cappiello replaced Monroe on the 4x400m and it only served as another stage with a longer time limit to showcase their dominance as they left no doubt. The 4x800m team of sophomore Ana Tapia, juniors Tanya Khandpur, freshman’s Lisa Carter and Tara Cappiello narrowly missed getting the relay sweep with their 2^nd place finish.

Junior Jacqueline Hargrove tied for 1^st in the 55m dash with teammate Shannon McVey but her greater accomplishment was the return to the jumps where she placed 2^nd in the triple and 3^rd in the long jump. Other outstanding performances came from junior Melissa Neo who dropped over 2 seconds off her personal best in the 55m hurdles and grabbing another personal best in the 55m dash, freshman Grace Grizzard personal best in the shot put, junior Tanya Khandpur, personal best in the 500m and freshman Tara Cappiello personal best in the 1000m.

The team next competes at Keydet Invitational in Lexington, VA on January 21^st, 2006. Most of the team will next compete on January 27^th, 2006 at Thomas Jefferson Middle School, the last before the Liberty District Championship on Feb. 3^rd and 9^th, 2006 in Landover, Maryland.

Boy’s 4x800m team and Robinson performed well at F.I.T Invitational.

The team felt the layoff from the Christmas weekend and it showed in their performances. Good food, lots of presents, injuries, family vacation and not enough practice time seem to have taken the sharpness exhibited in the pervious two meets. The 4x800m relay continues to have a wonderful season by taking 2^nd in the seeded section and 4^th overall in the meet. The team of sophomores Oscar Olazo and William “Alex” Haugh along with juniors Jason Pennington and Kevin Gollogly just missed bring home a medal by one place.

Senior Theo Robinson had a championship type meet rehearsal that had him competing in five events at the same time. He missed an individual medal in his siganature event by a judge’s decision placing 7^th in the high jump. Robinson accomplish this while compete in the long jump, high jump, triple jump, 55m dash and 4x200m relay.

Junior Shannon McVey had to battle her diet and her competitors but still managed to equal her personal best in the 55m dash and achieve a Liberty District qualifier. She also had a season best in the 300m dash.

Freshman Tara Cappiello was set to go on vacation but wanted to run the meet and ran she did. Cappiello dropped an amazing eleven seconds off her personal best in the 1000m run after leading off the 10^th place 4x800m team.

The team will next compete on Jan. 14^th, 2006 at EHS @ 7:15AM. Parents, we’ll need help with scoring the meet and timers.

Robinson and girl’s 4x200m qualify for Regional Championship.

--Boy’s 4x800m take 2^nd in photo finish.

Senior Theo Robinson started his 2004 – 2005 winter campaign in similar fashion by achieving career best and regional championship automatic qualification mark at his second meet of the season. This time it was different, it was at a bigger meet, the site of the regional championship and he finally leaped over the mystical 6ft barrier. It took two attempts at 6ft 1in and Robinson sailed clear over the crossbar. The performance was even more impressive considering the limited practice time due to lack to indoor training space and he is not quite in shape after the summer and fall lay off. Only time and getting in better shape will tell whether the State and national championship qualification will come early or late in the season.

For some athletes at big invitational like George Mason University you have to compete with outside competitors, Robinson wasn’t so luck. Fellow Senior Jerone Kadnar joined the team in the spring and he has been pushing Robinson from day one, this Saturday was no difference. Kadnar would match his teammate height for height and at time it seems like the competition was between the two and no one else. After clearing three inches over his pervious personal best (which was in the spring), Kadnar bowed out the competition at 5feet 11inches for an impressive start to his winter career. Their performances would rank Robinson (4^th in the meet, 1^st in the District, 5^th in regional) and Kadnar (5^th in the meet, 3^rd in the District and 7^th in the regional).

Last season, it took the girl’s 4x200m relay team seven meets, an overnight trip and a banked track to achieve the regional qualifier. The season ended with a 6^th placed regional championship finish and a new school record, the same quartet returned and wasted no time in wrapping up their place in the Northern VA regional championship. Juniors Shannon McVey, Gina Cappiello, Jamie Schiller and Jacqueline Hargrove rolled to 4^th place in the meet, number one Liberty District Ranking and number three regional ranking. The same foursome would combine to achieve a number two District and a number seven place Regional ranking in the 4x400m relay. Hargrove placed 4^th in the 500m dash with the fastest time in the District and the 4^th fastest time in the regional, McVey also captured a number one district and number four regional ranking with her 12^th place finish in the 55m dash. Schiller (300m) and G. Cappiello (500m) achieved the District fourth fastest times in their respective event.

The most exciting and heartbreaking part of the meet had to been the boy’s 4x800m relay, the first varsity event final of the meet. While the crowd was treated a very exciting finish, the Statesmen were left wondering what could have been. After leading for 2350 of 2400 meters of the race, the difference between first and second came down to the last three meters. Sophomore Oscar Olazo and juniors Alex Cvrk, Jason Pennington and Kevin Gollogly ran hard and made the others chased. The two teams final caught up with anchor leg Gollogly and he gave up the lead for 50 meters and then came roaring back going into the final 20 meters, after re-taking the lead, he thought the race was over as he sped toward the finish line. Unknown to him was the North Stanford anchor leg who came charging to the finish line to snatch the victory and the gold medal by less than a tenth of a second (8:33.80 to 8:33.87). The silver medal performance claimed the District number one and regional number two rankings.

In the longer run, sophomore William “Alex” Haugh continued his wonderful start to the season by achieving a personal best, District number two and regional number seven ranking in the 3200m. Haugh had to however deal with the disappointment created by the meet officials in forcing his little brother sophomore Daniel Haugh to run an extra lap in the race. Other outstanding performances, sophomore Lance Cheng jumped a three feet personal best in the triple jump (ranking 4^th – District & 9^th in the Region) and lowered his 55m hurdles best and junior Lauren Byrne missed the shot put finals by one spot (ranked 3^rd – District; 5^th – Region).

The team next competes on Friday, December 12, 2005 @ 5:30PM in the Thomas Jefferson Middle School center in Arlington, VA.

Team wins five of six relays

Hargrove, D. Haugh, Robinson, W. Haugh, Byrne wins individually

In the true sense of the word, the team started the season on a very good note winning five of six relays and capturing second in the other. Leadership came from every level of experience as the veteran mixed with the new comers and the up and coming uppers to dominate the competition.

Last year, we couldn’t find four runners to train on the distance group much less make a 4x800m relay team. However, this year is going to be different and it was made apparent from the get go with their victory in the first event of the meet. Last year’s freshman of the year sophomore Ana Tapia (3^rd – 1000m, 4^th – 1600m) was joined by freshman Tara Cappiello (5^th – 500m), newcomer junior Antoinette “Teddy” Schanes and foreign import junior Mizubo Kanai in jump starting the season on a very cold day.

The boy’s team picked up where they left off last year at the cross-country and spring championship when they broke the school record by running with three members of that team to victory in their first event of the year. Record setters sophomore Oscar Olazo (3^rd – 1000m), juniors Alex Cvrk, Jason Pennington (5^th – 1000m) and cross-country regional team member junior Kevin Gollogly won the 4x800m to match the girl’s terrific start.

Fellow regional championship representative and school record holders in the shorter 4x200m relay also ran with a missing leg but managed to dominate the competition. Member of the regional champion field hockey team junior Elizabeth “Blair” Monroe (4^th – 55m) was a great addition to the team along with record setting junior and 300m winner Jacqueline Hargrove, Gina Cappiello (3^rd – 300m) and Jamie Schiller (5^th – 300m) in winning the short sprint relay. The boy’s team comprised mainly of inexperience newcomers kept it close however they could not match the girl’s team. With time junior Yanwet Liu, sophomore Matthew Muise and freshman Aaron Anderson and Rizmal Rohani have a bright future ahead of them.

Reigning District 4x400m relay champion continued their dominance of the event with three returning members. The team of Hargrove, Cappiello and Schiller was joined by freshman Tara Cappiello to win the final event to go undefeated in the relays. This time the boy’s team was not going to be out done. They came back with their own exciting brand of relay running to capture their final event in fine style. Junior Joel Ryan returning from a long layoff put the team in first place for good on the 3^rd leg and Gollogly brought it home with a strong performance. Sophomore Olozo led off and senior Theo Robinson ran the second leg after some dominating performances in the field.

Robinson continued his work toward winning the District high jump title from his two runner-up spot by wining the event in an automatic qualifier. He told three shots at the state qualifying mark of 6ft 3in but will have to try another time at the height. Robinson also won the triple jump event over teammate sophomore Lance Cheng (2^nd – 55mH).

Moving down from his traditional 3200m races, sophomore William “Alex” Haugh continued to have a wonderful 2005 by winning the 1600m run. Haugh added to his spring regional qualifier and MVP cross-country season from earlier in the year. William’s missed opportunity in the longer race left the door open for his twin brother Daniel Haugh to show his dominance with his win in the event.

Junior Lauren Byrne is also enjoying a wonderful 2005 combine with her winter regional qualifier in the shot put and her starting place in the state semi-final and regional champion field hockey team. She added her first win and automatic District qualifying performance her first meet of the season.

Next to the high jump pad and down from the long jump and shot put and impressive running and attraction on the track, one athlete make an historical leap into Statesmen history in the pits. Multi talented sophomore Katherine Heffelmire became the first woman in Marshall history to compete in pole vault. She had set another first by clear the opening height of seven (7) feet for a few seconds however the pole did not cooperate and knocked the crossbar off. Heffelmire will give it another shot this weekend.

Other outstanding performances, sophomore Keith Henning (4^th – 55mH), leading 55m dash finisher freshman John Peterman, leading 500m runner freshman Tomas Melfino and leading 300m dash finisher junior Yanwet Liu.

The next meet will be George Mason University invitational on Sat. December 10^th, 2005.

Hargrove qualifies for States

            --Boy’s 4x800m relay set new school record

For the fourth time in as many seasons (Indoor & Outdoor), sophomore Jacqueline Hargrove qualified for the Virginia AAA State championship. Hargrove had already secured a state qualifier in the 200m dash, but booked another spot in the 400m dash with a 5^th place finish at the Northern Virginia Regional championship. Hargrove will look to duplicate or better her 5^th place All State performance during the indoor season (500m dash).

            Last week at the Liberty District championship, the boy’s 4x800m relay team thought they had captured the school record in winning the event. However, they came up half a second short, this week they left no doubt and erased the 27 year old record by over four seconds. The team of freshman Oscar Olazo (2:02), junior Joel Ryan (2:05) and sophomore Alex Cvrk (2:07) and Jason Pennington (2:01) placed a respectable 9^th in the race.

            Junior Theo Robinson narrowly missed making the 2004 AAA State championship by a gust of wind at 6ft. This year, Robinson equal his personal best of 6ft but the top six required a 6ft 2in and he once again had to wait till next year. Robinson also missed out making it in the long jump, as the final required a 20ft 7in leap. Junior Jerone Kadnar equaled his personal best in the high jump of 5ft 8in. Junior Brandon White and Senior Amanda Zirzow competed close to their personal best in the throwing best but making the finals required huge personal best.

            Pennington returned from his wonderful record setting Thursday to pull off a impressive personal best double. He shaved over seven seconds off best in the 1600m run and came back an hour later to drop another personal best in the 800m. Olazo competing in the 800m dropped over two second off his personal best to complete a wonderful first season. Freshman William “Alex” Haugh concluded a great second half of the year starting at Liberty District Indoor to run close to his personal best. The above mention three runners, leads to the foresight of a very bright future for the Statesmen.

            The State championship is schedule for June 3^rd and 4^th, 2005 @ Todd Stadium in Newport News.

Relay team wins District Title

            -Hargrove breaks another school record

The boy’s 4x800m when undefeated during their Liberty District schedule however no one expected the Statesmen to capture the title at the championship. Langley was not only the indoor Liberty District champion, they were the Northern Regional champs and W.T. Woodson had defeated the Statesmen at the T.J. Penultimate experience a week earlier. However, on the muggy and chill first day of the championship, the champions came to play and they left no doubt. Freshman Oscar Olazo led off the team with a great 2:03 leg, junior Joel Ryan kept on working the lead with a 2:06 and sophomore Alex Cvrk kept up the pace with a 2:07. Sophomore Jason Pennington set a grueling opening lap and although Langley’s anchor leg put up a good challenge, it was no match for the final home stretch kick. The statesmen had completed an undefeated Liberty District schedule and only miss their final achievement of a school record by half a second.

            On the field, another outstanding story was unveiling, junior Brandon White had been waiting all season for a break out performance. It would be great to have it at the championship and so it did. White on his third and final attempt of the trials unleashed a beautiful throw and when it came to rest, it was a sixteen feet improvement in the discus, a regional qualifier and a 4^th placed medal finish. For good measures, White would add a 5^th place finish in the shot put to go with his discus accomplishment.

            Fellow compatriot, senior Amanda Zirzow experienced her own drama during the indoor season when she finished in the dreaded 7^th place in the shot put, missing the regional by one spot. Going into the finals of the same event, Zirzow was stuck in that position and history looked to repeat itself. But, on her 6^th and final attempt, Zirzow brought back memories of Chris Barham (Class of 2003) winning the competition on his final attempt. This time it was not a District title but a revengeful leap from 7^th to 5^th place to knock out a McLean throw who defeated her two weeks ago and claiming her senior trip to the regional championship.

            Junior Theo Robinson had been itching to break the 20 feet barrier for two seasons now, in the trials of the long jump he came very close with a 19ft 4in jump to hold down the 6^th spot and secure three more crack at the mark. Racing against his own destiny and been disqualified from the running events if he did not run his 100m dash trials. Robinson wasted no time speeding down the running way and heading straight from the pit to the blocks, but not before hearing those sweet words, twenty feet half an inch. He had done it he had broken through the barrier and claimed a spot to the regional championship. However, one barrier he’ll had to wait another year to try and conquer is winning the Liberty District high jump title. Once, again Robinson had to settle for the runner up spot behind Mclean Senior Doug Zimmer. His competition will probably come from teammate and junior Jerone Kadnar who was competing in his second meet of the season but his jump of 5ft 8in was good enough to capture the bronze medal in the event.

            Silent during day one because she was not competing in an jumps sophomore Jacqueline Hargrove quietly began day two with a warm up and unfamiliar 2^nd place finish in the short sprint. Compete in the 800m dash for the second time this season very even more unfamiliar however been the competitor she was Hargrove was up to the challenge. She stayed with the lead pack for most of the first lap and the much more seasoned middle distance runner extended their lead slightly. Although Hargrove tried to use her sprint speed to overtake the leaders, she could not pull them all in. Her third place finish was disappointing however it was good enough for her 7^th school record in the last two years. Hargrove had qualified for the 200m finals, but it was schedule right after the 800m run and she did not contest the finals (she had already qualified for the State championship in the event.

            Pennington and Olazo teamed up to win the 4x800m title however on day too it was every man for himself in the open 800m run. Olazo usually like to run from the front but he got caught in the pack at the start and had to work his way to the leaders. Pennington running in a much more relaxing style was contend to following the leaders. When the event leaders and twins from Langley made their move at 200m to go, Pennington and Olazo were right on their heel. Although the Langley pairs proved to be harder to handle than in the relays, Pennington and Olazo walked away with huge personal best and another chance at the regional championship. Earlier Pennington would collect the outdoor 1600m regional representation to go with his indoor selection for the regional champs.

            Freshman William “Alex” Haugh had to wait a long time since end of the indoor season and for the second to last event of the outdoor championship to secure a spot in the regional championship that eluded him. Competing in the slow section of the indoor 3200m run, he missed qualifying by one place, this time there would be no such scenario because he was running better and there would only be one race. The time, Haugh used his newly discovered sprint speed to out kick the competition to capture this spot in regional.

            Overall the boy’s team placed 5^th with 48 points and the girl’s placed 7^th with 16^th points.

The big four step up at home

--team wins nine (9) events

The four northern regional championship individual event returnees from the Indoor season finally competed in the same meet together and they did as expected. They won and were partly responsible for six of nine team wins. Indoor Virginia All-State and five times District champion sophomore Jacqueline Hargrove finally returned to the track and did it in commanding fashion by winning her first 800m run, hitting a Liberty District qualifying mark and missing another school record by three seconds. Seven time regional qualifier and 2005 Saxon Classic champion junior Theo Robinson continued his winning way by taking the high jump competition. Six time regional qualifier and senior Andrew Coatsworth wrapped up his third District qualifier by winning the 200m dash, he also anchored the 4x400m relay team to it’s 2^nd tri-meet win @ home with freshman Oscar Olazo, senior Alex Finnell and junior Joel Ryan. Sandwich between the wins by Coatsworth was the fastest 3200m run in five years by 2004 freshman of the year sophomore Jason Pennington to take the win. Pennington was also a member of the winning 4x800m relay team with fellow sophomore Alex Cvrk and senior Michael Eckard and Finnell.

Senior Amanda Zirzow was the only other female athlete to compete at the meet and she showed that its not quantity but quality in winning the shot put competition and collecting 2^nd place in the discus event. Freshman Lance Cheng and sophomore Storm Rhode is starting to show the signs of their season ending indoor performance by winning the 110m and 300m hurdles respectively.

Other outstanding performances, Junior Brandon Wallace (3^rd - shot put, 2^nd - Discus), Robinson (3^rd – LJ, 3^rd – TJ, 4^th – 200m), Ryan (2^nd in 200m), Coatsworth (2^nd – LJ, 4^th – TJ), Finnell (3^rd – 400m), L. Cheng (3^rd – 300m), sophomore Keith Henning (2^nd –110mH, 5^th – 300mH) and Cvrk (2^nd – 1600m).

The team next compete in a dual meet @ South Lakes High School on April 20^th, 2005.

Robinson wins High Jump title

-takes 2^nd in Long jump

2005 Indoor Liberty District High Jump runner and Northern Virginia Regional qualifier junior Theo Robinson started his quest to capture the District top spot in the spring championship by winning his first competition of the season. Robinson has to go into an overtime jump off with future District rivals Thomas Jefferson to pull off the win after making 6ft on his first attempt, missing 6ft 2in and ending up in a tie. It took the bar moving back down to 6ft in the jump off to secure the title. This was the second time in as many seasons, Robinson and the Jefferson jumper was involved in a 6ft jump off. The pervious occasion came on Jan. 10^th, 2005 @ Thomas Jefferson Middle School and the results were reversed after Robinson conceded the event @ 10:30pm. Coincidently, the two events mark the first time Robinson cleared 6ft during the Indoor and outdoor season (I think we need to schedule Thomas Jefferson whenever Robinson is looking to go achieve his higher heights in the high jump). The win at the height of 6ft automatically qualified him for the Northern Regional Championship.

Over shadowed by his win in the high jump was a personal best and Liberty District qualifying mark of 19ft 6.5in to place runner up in the long jump competition and his 7^th in the triple jump, 15^th in the 300m hurdles and the 3^rd leg on the 4x400m relay team, all in all a very remarkable day.

The 4x800m relay turned in a very impressive early season performance by placing 4^th with a seasonal best 8:40.18. The team was led by Northern Regional Indoor qualifier and 2004 freshman of the Year, sophomore Jason Pennington who dropped an early season 2:04 to put the team in good position at the start. Fellow sophomore Alex Cvrk held his own with a 2:14 second leg, considering that three weeks ago he was not running on the track. Senior Michael Eckard ran pretty close to his personal best with a 2:15 third leg to keep the team in striking distance. Freshman Oscar Olazo tackling the task of handling two sports (soccer & track) earned his rights to compete on weekends by dropping a very impressive 2:07 to propel the team into 4^th place.

Other outstanding performances, Pennington placed 9^th in the 1600m, junior Joel Ryan grabbed 12^th in the 400m and sophomore Timothy Lees with no practice and substituting for senior Andrew Coatsworth increased his personal best in both the Long Jump (16ft 2.25in) and triple jump (35ft 2.5in) by over two feet. Lees was also a member of the freshman/sophomore 4x100m (Lance Cheng, William “Alex” Haugh, Sherief Elsibaire, Lees) and 4x400m (Lees, L. Cheng, Elsibaire and Matt Stripe) that represented very bright future.

The team will next compete @ home versus Lee and W.T. Woodson on Wednesday, April 13^th, 2005 starting at 5:30pm.

Short handed team open season @ home.

            -Coatsworth & Schiller achieve District marks

The Statesmen 2005 spring season opened with a home meet versus Fairfax and Langley but many of the members were missing. Coming off the spring break and long indoor season, the teams were still gathering members and it showed in the results. There were only three members on the girl’s side and sixteen on the boy’s side. The tri-meet was won by Langley with the boy’s team finishing 2^nd and the girl’s placed 3^rd. Freshman William “Alex” Haugh was the only individual winner and boy’s won two relays. Haugh had to hold off a charging Fairfax Jessica Trapeni to win the 3200m run by ten seconds. The boy’s 4x800m relay team of senior Andrew Coatsworth, sophomore Alex Cvrk, freshman Oscar Olazo and senior Alex Finnell ran alone for the whole race in an impressive mark of 9:04.04. Olazo, Finnell and Cvrk were joined by junior Joel Ryan to add the 4x400m relay to their win total.

            In the 400m dash, Coatsworth, Olazo and Ryan finished 2^nd, 3^rd, 4^th, respectively with Coatsworth recording a personal best and Liberty District qualifying mark. On the women’s side, sophomore Jamie Schiller loss at the line but achieved a District mark in the process.

            In the field events, junior Felix “Joey” Mencias competing in the discus for the first time placed 2^nd in the event. Fellow junior Brandon White out distanced his pervious best in the event by nearly 30 feet in taking 3^rd. White came back to capture 2^nd in the shot with a personal best mark of 39ft 7.5in. On the women’s side, senior Amanda Zirzow achieved a personal best in the Discus and pulled sophomore Quyen Nguyen (who has been practicing for 2 days) to a very impressive personal best in the event.

            Junior Theo Robinson took a week off from the jumps to compete in the 300m hurdles for the first time and he achieved the fastest time in five (5) seasons with a personal best of 47.24 to place 3^rd.
            The teams next compete at the Saxon Classic on Saturday, April 9^th and another home meet on Wednesday, April 13^th, 2005 @ home versus W.T. Woodson and Robert E. Lee.

Hargrove close indoor season @ Nationals

Sophomore and 2005 Indoor All State Jacqueline Hargrove ended a long season with two school record breaking perfermances at the Nike Indoor National Championship. Hargrove finished 17th in the 400m dash with a mark of 59.55, it as good enought to break her own school record from the national championship last year. She also improved on her school record in the 200m dash by winning her heat with a mark of 26.42. Hargrove did not compete in the triple jump competition which she also qualified.

Hargrove earned All State Honor

Sophomore and 2004-2005 Winter track and field Most Valuable player Jacqueline Hargrove concluded her Virginia championship series by earning All State honor at the AAA State meet @ George Mason. Hargrove broke the school record in the 500m dash for the 3^rd time in as many meets to claim 5^th in the event. Hargrove missed capturing a second All State honor by finishing in the honorable but worst position in qualifying, she placed 10^th in the long jump by three quarters of an inch with a personal best 17ft 4.5 inches with 9^th going to the finals. Hargrove also placed 17^th in the 300m dash and 20^th in the triple jump.
The next and final meet of the indoor season for Hargrove will be the Nike Indoor national championship schedule for March 12^th and 13^th, 2005 @ Landover, Maryland.

Two school records broken

            -Hargrove going to states in 4 events

            At the beginning of each season, your goals are to do better than last year and this year was no different. The girl’s team last year were comprised of mainly freshman and naturally been sophomores and a year old, this season’s expectations were to take the next step. The progression showed at the very first meet and this past weekend the outlook for next year looks wonderful. The next step after finishing take a pair of 2^nd last year in the relays were to win, and the team won the 4x400 title. Team wanted to make the state championship this year but the results were bitter sweet. The 4x200m quartet of sophomores Shannon McVey, Gina Cappiello, Jamie Schiller and Jacqueline Hargrove roared to the fastest time ever in school history for any season (indoor or outdoor) but felt just short of making the State championship by less than half a second. They time of 1:49.18 broke the school record set by the 1996 Liberty District team Champions.

            Seven times school record holder Jacqueline Hargrove again had a wonderful championship. The day started very early for Hargrove as she placed 3^rd at 8:30AM in the long jump, 11:45AM saw her grab a spot in the triple jump final, 1:00PM resulted in a school record 4x200m anchor leg, 1:30PM saw another school record fell in the 500m dash, 1:45PM brought some heartbreak when she lost the another change for a school record and the regional crown when she was defeat on the last and final attempt by Centerville freshman Brittine Finch by a quarter of an inch, the day finally ended at 5:00pm with an anchor leg on the 4x400m relay team. Hargrove’s long day pulled the team to a very respectable 9^th place of 48 regional teams. Like we do every regional meet, the Statesmen’s team showed we may not have the quantity but we have the better quality of athletes in the district as we out point all league team 23 (GCM) – 18 (MCL) – 17 (FFX) – 14 (WTW) – 13 (SL) – 10 (LANG – District champs.) – 4 (MAD).

            Sophomore Shannon McVey competing in her first regional championship placed 17^th in the 300m with a personal best time of 44.41. Sophomore Jason Pennington also competing in the first regional placed 11^th in the 1600m with a personal best mark of 4:43.46. Senior Andrew Coatsworth closed out his indoor career with a 19ft 5.75in long jump, a no mark triple jump and a 38.20, 300m dash. Junior Theo Robinson added more experience with a 5ft 10in High Jump, 18ft 10.25 Long Jump and a 38ft 11.75in, triple jump.
Sophomore Lauren Byrne and Coach Portillo concluded a very successful and impressive first winter season by placing 21^st in the Shot Put competition with a mark of 26ft 6.75in. Byrne had 10 meet scoring streak broken but will look to start a new one in the spring. Congrats to all the athletes and coaches on a wonderful season.

Girl’s 4x4 wins District crown

--Hargrove picks up two more titles

The debate has long gone unsettled and it probably will continue to decide, what’s the glamour event in track and field? For most it’s the 100m dash, for others it’s the 400m dash, for many it’s the 4x100m relay and yet for too many it’s the mile. But, almost everyone at the Prince George’s Sportplex on Thursday, Feb. 10^th, 2005 would agree the premier event in high school track and field is the 4x400m relay. For a couple of reason, it’s a true combination of speed and strength, requires prefect teamwork, it’s the last event of the meet and the winner is declare champion until next year. The winner of the 4x400m relay is the last champion to be announced and the lasting memory of a someone’s heart been torn apart or been over filled with joy.

Last year, the girl’s 4x400m team was the ones having their freshman heart ripped out after leading for 1500 meters of the 1600 meter race. One year older, the order re-arrange and the need for some get back in order, this all sophomore team wasn’t having it. Defending title holder, McLean probably felt confident because they had recorded a faster time during the season however, the Statesmen never got their chance to show their true skills during to season due to weather and injuries. Unlike 2004, when the Lady Statesmen were the hunted, this year they went hunting for Highlanders. They were some similarity with last year’s team, 2004 were made of all freshmens and the year’s team was made up of all sophomores with three members of the runner up team back.

Regional 300m qualifier Shannon McVey lead off the team after hard day of running in the 300m finals and as the member of the bronze medal 4x200m relay team and she put the team in second position behind defending champion McLean.

Gina Cappiello was a member of the runner up relays team from last year and a member of the bronze medal 4x2 team with McVey, got the baton in second and changed out after the their rivals, she could not make up the lead but close the gap.

For one they had beaten her team last year, she didn’t like the lost she suffered in the 500m dash, they stole Mr. Statesmen, Paul A. Wardinski (who was in the stands) and forced him to wear the wrong “M”. Whether Hargrove choose from the list or use a combination of them all, with one lap to go decided it was time for some get back (like we say in PG track and field, right Darrell), like they did to the Statesman last year, 1500m spelled the end for the Highlanders. With a powerful run to close the gap, Hargrove drop the hammer, say bye bye to the competition and rolled to a new school record and a very enjoyable end to the 2005 Liberty District Championship.

Coincidently, Hargrove opened up the District competition by winning event number one, the women’s long jump and closed it in grand fashion by running the anchor leg on the winning women’s 4x400m relay team. I guess you can say, she had the first and the last word on a wonderful championship for the Statesmen.

Before need they were a need for pay back (back to the saying in VA) they had to been reason, Hargrove defended her 55m dash crown with a great finished. The longer sprints didn’t go as plan as the competition was allowed to get away at the beginning of the race and the lead was too much to over came. Also, competing in the triple jump for the second time this season, the championship looked in hand after jumping over the field on her fourth and final jump. However, while she was winning the 55 meter dash title, two competitors took advance and stole the crown and thus the scene was set for some get back.

Junior Theo Robinson was expecting this season to be a breakout one and so far its has not been disappointing, he was ranked number two in the District and number six in the regional. The next step for Robinson was to add a District crown to his resume however; he had defending champion and McLean Senior Doug Zimmer in his path. Robinson had to feel very confident he had cleared 6 feet in the two meets leading up to the championship. The battle would come down to him and Zimmer as expected, even with the combination of the Liberty and Concorde District combined. They were the only two jumpers to clear 6ft and it would take Zimmer a new District record to pull out the victory over Robinson. The battle continued into the triple jump competition and although it’s not Robinson specialty, he gabbed 4^th place to go along with his 6^th place in the long jump.

Junior Joel Ryan and freshmen William “Alex” Haugh, Oscar Olazo and the Boy’s 4x400m relay team also suffer the unfortunate achievement of been the last guys not to make it. Ryan and Olazo finished 7^th and 8^th respectively in the 500m dash with the top 6^th going to regional. Haugh had to wait a whole week to find out that he would be going to regional by less than 2 seconds. He finished 7^th because by winning the slow section a week earlier. The 4x400m relay team of Ryan, Robinson, Olazo and Coatsworth dropped five seconds off their seasonal best but finished 4^th and one out of the final spot.

The team will next compete in two weeks at the Northern Virginia Regional set for Feb. 26^th, 2005 @ 9:00 AM on the George Mason University campus.

Jamie Schiller, another returnee and member of the 4x2 team had to endure the lost from last year, got the baton and took off after the competition. The closest she could get to the competition was 40 meters before handing off the baton to 5-time District Champion Jacqueline Hargrove, who had a score to settle.

Another fuel for the fire within the members of the 4x4 team was the heartbreak lost by the 4x200m team earlier in the meet. The team of McVey, Cappiello, and Schiller joined with fellow sophomore Kelly Wiencek and lead the race from the start. However, we expected the rush to come and it did with 100m to go in the race when the Langley and Madison lead a late charge to deny us a double victory in the sprint races. The team will get another shot for a victory at the regional championships. McVey will also get another chance at improving on her 300m dash by placing 6^th and joined Hargrove and Junior Lauren Byrne to qualify in an individual event for regional.

Senior Andrew Coatsworth did not get his chances to do battle in the high jump but he did join them in the long jump a week earlier and came out with a bronze medal. Coatsworth did have work to do in the 300m dash and it required a lot of work especially because he was running from lane six. He led for most of the race and it took a late charge from the field in a very close finish for him to take 4^th in the event. Coatsworth competing in the triple jump for the second time this season earned a regional qualifying spot with his 6^th place.

Running of sophomore Jason Pennington has got to be making his coaches grow old fast. Last spring he missed making the regional championship by one spot in the 1600m and two spots in the 800m, this winter he was determine reverse those results. But, he wasn’t going make it easy on himself, after cruising through the first 1450 meters, Pennington decided it was time make his move, with a crazy finishing kick, he passed two people and held off another to punch his ticket to the regional. Two races later, Pennington would try the same tactic, however even though he improved on his results from the spring; he lost by 0.01 of a second to lose the spot by a photo finish in the 1000m.

Hargrove crowned on first Day

            --Claimed 4^th District Title

Defending Liberty District Indoor 55m dash, Outdoor 100m and 200m champions, sophomore Jacqueline Hargrove captured her 4^th District title on the first day of Liberty District Championship. Hargrove improved on her runner up performance in the day by putting the competition away on her first jump. The multi-event champion knew she had other business to take care of in the high jump and defending her 55m crown, so messing around with the competition would not be benefital to her. Running between events seem to have no effect on Hargrove even though she had to run two trials in the 55m dash, high jump and long jump. After, claim the long jump title, Hargrove put herself in great position to claim her second 55m dash crown by winning her heat and will go into the final tied for the fastest time.

The switching between events may have cost her a chance to improve on her 3^rd place finished from last in the high jump. Hargrove cleared a height of 4ft 10 (her seasonal best) but it was only good enough to grab another 3^rd place medal in the event for a second straight year.

Senior Andrew Coatsworth missed out last spring on marking the regional team because he missed most of the track and field practice to start on the soccer team. With no such commitment in the way, Coatsworth had no excuse why he should be in regional. On Thursday night, he left no doubt when he leaped over 20ft for the best jump on the team in over five seasons. His mark was good enough to ensure the regional spot and a bronze medal. Junior Theo Robinson could have easily been satisfied with his training partner making the regional but he had his own idea. He wanted be there and continued their battle to try and take it one step farther, to the State competition. Robinson had work to do, he was in the lower flight and need help. But the best help he could get was from himself and he didn’t disappoint, running down the running way and landing at a 6^th place and regional spot.

Junior Lauren Byrne wanted to keep getting better as the season got longer and each week, it seem like she was on par. After her personal best and Liberty District qualifying mark last week, Byrne felt confident her regional dream would come through. She came in ranked 5^th in the competition and knew there was no room for mistakes. Her mark wasn’t as good she expected, she didn’t improved on her personal best. But what she did ensures her a chance to better it, Byrne turned in the 6^th best performance of the meet. Unfortunately, it cost teammate and Senior Amanda Zirzow a chance at regional, because she finished 7^th and one spot out of the regional team.

While some athletes received there medal on the first day, other put them in the position to accomplish that task by marking these finals, Hargrove in the 55m dash, Coatsworth in the 300m and sophomore Shannon McVey in the 300m.

There were many others wonderful performances, which we can use as insights and incentives for next season. Coach Brian Tullock had four sophomore athletes made it to the boy’s and girl’s semi-finals. In the girl’s 55m dash, Liza Mencarini, Kelly Wiencek and Gabriella Rangel-Lafuente all had personal best to finish 9^th, 10^th and 11^th, respectively. On the boy’s side, sophomore Storm Rhode (and he be running in the spring) placed 12^th in the semi-final after taking up the event mid-season.

            Freshmen William “Alex” Haugh, Steven Dungan and Daniel Haugh had to running hard the last to meet to meet the coach’s qualifying standard and earn their place into the championship. They felt the pain and ran all the workout and was determined to make it worth their while at their first championship, so competing in the slow section of the 3200m run, they triple teamed the competition and make it a competition between Statesmen. Running neck and neck for 3000m, they battled on, Alex pulled away on the last lap to win the section on keep his hopes alive for regional. Dungan passed Daniel on the straight to claim 2^nd. They all lower their personal best over 10 seconds to make the future looking bright for their career and their chance at compete at the championship again.

            For senior Alex Finnell, there wasn’t going to a next year, he would have loved to be in the 1000m but fate placed him in the 1600m run. So, he took it as it was given and roll to the lead on the first lap and never looked back. What resulted was seasonal best improvement of nearly twenty seconds and leave the door open for a chance at regional. Sophomore Kevin Gollogley continued to make wonderful stride after switching event this year from last. Gollogley came into the championship ranked the 12^th fastest in the meet, however he had an outside shot of moving up into the top six. He would have to do it from the slow section and a week apart. Like Finnell, he took what was thrown his way and lead from start to finish (with a great kick) to win his section with a personal best and in great position to move on to the regional champs.

            The boy’s 4x800m relay team of junior Joel Ryan, sophomore Alex Cvrk, senior Michael Eckard and sophomore Jason Pennington ran a great race to lower their seasonal best by over 12 seconds. Their time was the fastest indoor in 5 years however it was only good for 5^th place.
            The finals will be held on Feb. 10^th, 2005 @ 4:45pm in Landover, Maryland.

Stepping up, Records, Championships

            --Hargrove improve her 300m Record

Coach Stripe takes over

The athletes, coaches and school of the Marshall Statesmen could not have predicted the accomplishments and achievements experienced in the last few days (article dated 2/04/05). The day began on Saturday, January 29^th in the early morning at EHS when unknowingly acts of duties and responsibilities would to the highest compliments anyone hope to achieve, the respect of their peers. Parents representing the Statesmen Pride showed their turn colors by doing what comes naturally, they stepped up the line when other could not to ensure our athletes future continuation in the Indoor track and field series will secure. Mark Stripe (Head Coach @ Yorktown High School) but most importantly Matt Stripe’s father representing the scarlet and Columbia blue handled his responsible of scoring our meet into the capable hands of Mrs. Joanna Clark (Bryan Clark’s Mother) to running the whole meet. It was partially hard considering the fact that seven hours earlier he had to endure standing on his feet for five hours to run his own meet the night before. Coach Stripe love for the sport and understanding the importance of these meets for Indoor track and field in the Northern Virginia Regional took up the reins when others shed their responsible. On Sunday, the work of Coach Stripe, Mrs. Clark and Coach Robinson (for providing the supplies for others) paid dividend when their hard work and intuitive while carrying the Statesmen Flag pour in from the Regional. The praises continued at the weekly Activities Directors meeting, when the top brasses especially Northern Virginia Regional Championship Director A.K. Johnson related his thanks to Marshall for stepping up to the line. Activities Director William Curran and Assistant Activities Director Joe Swarm (former Head & throwing coach) related that it felt wonderful to hear the compliments coming from their peers and it reaffirms and pays tribute to pride within our program, our school and our community.

Hargrove break her own School Record

            Sophomore Jacqueline Hargrove did not enjoy her first appearance on a banked track last March but it proved to be a learning tool on Saturday at Virginia Tech. Competing at one of the best tracks in the country and one of the best meets every year, Hargrove laid the hammer down and when the smoke cleared, she had in hand a new School record of 41.18 for the 300m dash. Her time better the Virginia State AAA Championship qualifying mark, grabbed her the number one ranking in Northern Virginia Regional and cracked the Top 100 ranking in the country by Dyestat.com (recognized as the best high school website in the country). Prior to the 300m record breaking performance, Hargrove joined with fellow Sophomores Shannon McVey, Gina Cappiello and Jamie Schiller to running the 3^rd fastest time in school history with a Regional Qualifying mark of 1:50.72.

            With each meet, freshman Oscar Olazo inexperience is disappearing as his time keeps improving. The meet at Virginia Tech was no different as Olazo grabbed too automatic Liberty District mark in the 500m and 300m dash. Senior Andrew Coatsworth looked ready for the championship and dropped another Liberty District qualifying performance in the 300m dash. Sophomore Gina Cappiello like Coatsworth is battling back from a case of illness and injuries, however Cappiello showed no signs of ineffectiveness in the track (getting ready to compete at the correct time is a whole nother story) by dropping two second off her best in District qualifying 500m dash.

Friend, Robinson, Byrne to the Championship

            Senior Steven Friend disappeared for most of January but he ensured his appearance in the final meet before the Championship would be a good one. He did not disappoint, Friend showed the talent the coaching staff knew he was capable of by automatically qualifying for the District championship in two events and certifying his participation in a third. In the high jump, Friend equal his outdoor personal best by clearing 5ft 6in on his first attempt and dropped a sizzling run in the 300m dash.

            Junior Theo Robinson was back at his old tricks and for the second meet in a row leaped over the regional mark of 6ft 0in. His coach and father Theodore Robinson was the happiest person in the building or maybe it was his mother, Wanda. Two weeks ago, emotions and tempers flared after the meet because neither one was there when Theo clear the height for the first time.

The improvement from her hard work have been showing each week for Junior Lauren Byrne, this meet it all seem to have finally come together. Byrne for the first time this season landed the shot pass the Liberty District automatic qualifying mark with a personal best of 27ft 9in.

Next stop for everyone Landover, Maryland and the Liberty District Championship.

Robinson fly high

            --Hargrove, Cvrk, 4x800 relay wins

            Maybe it’s the month, maybe it’s the smell of winter or maybe the reigning MVP and junior Theo Robinson just starting to put all his hard work together to make a run at a District title. The latter seem to be truth because for the second year in a row, Robinson has used the January meets to get ready for the championship season. Last year it resulted in a bronze medal at District, this year his hunger is bigger and he showed his intention by flying over the high jump bar in a personal best and regional qualifying height of 6ft on his first attempt. This year, Robinson did not want to be considered one of the District's best but among the Regional and State best which he did on Friday night.

            Sophomore Alex Cvrk has showed flashes of greatest through out his young career, but injuries has been an obstacles. This Friday, Cvrk might have fought through those obstacles and put himself on the verge of defeating his demons just in time for the championship season by running a great race to win the 1600m in a personal best time of 5:00.94. He dropped over six seconds off his pervious best to put him in the position to take a run at making the regional championship.

            Cvrk was the second leg on the winning seasonal best 4x800m relay along with fellow sophomore Jason Pennington, senior Michael Eckard and junior Joel Ryan. The team captured the event by over 17 seconds in a time of 9:03.14 over Yorktown in the best time in five seasons. Pennington continued to have a wonderful season by lowing his personal best in the 1000m to 2:51.44 in placing 2^nd in the event and anchored the 4x400m with the best split. Ryan placed 5^th in the 500m (1:18.24) and ran on the 4x400m relay team.

            Sophomore Elizabeth “Blair” Monroe ended last season on a bitter-sweet note. Monroe was the leg off leg on the super freshman team from last year that compete in the Regional championship, however she didn’t not achieved her personal goals because she peaked at little late. This year, Monroe wanted to prevent such occur and took a giant step toward accomplish her personal goals by automatically qualifying the Liberty District championship in 55m dash in 8.04.

            Sophomore Jacqueline Hargrove had a quiet but effective day that most people most people would love. She won the 55m dashes in a seasonal best (7.74) and cruise to another win in the 300m (43.54) in comfortable fashion and placed 4^th in the high jump (4ft 8in).

            Sophomore Lauren Byrne continued her learning of the shot put event and each week is showing great strides. Byrne once again had a personal best to go four for four in scoring in the event by capturing 4^th place (26ft 9in). Junior Melissa MacNabb for the 5^th straight meet has a personal best, this time she lowered her PR in the 1600m (5:54.94) and added the 300m dash (51.04) in for good measures. Freshman Lance Cheng and sophomore Storm Rhode competed in the 55m hurdles for the second time this season and showed great improvement from last week in a tie for the best mark on the team in the last five years (10.24). Junior Brandon White and freshman William “Alex” Haugh completed the scoring in the shot put (5^th - 35ft 9in) and 3200m (3^rd – 11.19.34), respectively.

            Freshman John Zettler started the season throwing the shot put, he switched mid season to the sprints and has to be congratulated on completing a great triple (55m – 8.84, 300m – 53.74, 500m – 1:40.74) in a personal best marks. Also, recording triple personal best were sophomores Justin Mawdsley (55m – 7.84, 300m – 42.54, High Jump – 5ft 0in), Lance Cheng (55mH – 10.24, 500m – 1:26.24), 300m – 46.54) and junior Vincent Reese (High Jump – 5ft 0in, 55m – 8.04, 300m – 43.34).
            The team next competes on Saturday, Jan. 22^nd@ 7pm at EHS.

Robinson grab medal at F.I.T Invitational

            Two time Most Valuable Player, junior Theo Robinson did not like his Christmas gifts, so he went out and earned himself the team’s only medal at the very competitive Friends of Indoor Track and field Invitational. The meet was held in the beautiful Prince George’s Sports and Learning Complex, the site of the Liberty District Championship schedule for February 4^th and 10^th, 2005. Robinson took advance of his only appearance there before the championship to place 5^th of nearly 40^th competitors in the high jump with a personal Indoor's best mark of 5ft 10in. He also hit two personal best in the triple jump (38ft 9in) and 55m dash (7.31).

            Fellow junior Melissa MacNabb continue her wonderful season by dipping below the six minute mark in the 1600m run (5:59.76) and narrowly missing another personal best in the 1000m (3:32.22). MacNabb however, did pull freshman Ana Tapia to two personal best in the 1600m (6:28.44) and 1000m (3:43.87).

            Senior Andrew Coatsworth had a very good day on the track and in the field. He improved on his personal best and District qualifiers in the 300m dash (38.86) and the long jump (19ft 5.5in). Coatsworth also had the fastest split (55.3) on the seasonal best 4x400m relay (3:46.73). Coatsworth was joined on the relay by junior Joel Ryan (56.3, 500m – 1:15.41), senior Michael Eckard (58.3, 500m – 1:17.41 (PB)) and freshman Oscar Olazo (56.8, 300m – 40.17 (PB)).

            Last year’s freshman of the year and sophomore Jason Pennington had two very courageous run in the 1600m (4:56.88 - PB) and 1000m (2:57.47) run. He had to over come some holiday sickness to pull off some impressive running. In the 1000m run, senior Alex Finnell used the front running Pennington to pulling down a personal best of 3:00.41. Finnell and Pennington teamed up with Eckard and sophomore Alex Cvrk (1600m - 5:07.71 – PB) to running a seasonal best in the 4x800m relay of 9:09.96.

            Shannon McVey led the super sophomore girls sprint squad with an impressive Liberty District qualifying time of 7.80. Her time was the fastest on the team this season. McVey (27.4) joined with fellow sophomores Gina Cappiello (29.1), who automatically qualified for the Liberty District championship in the 500m (1:27.46), Liza Mencarini (29.5) and Kelly Wiencek (28.8) to produce a seasonal best mark of 1:54.80 in the 4x200m relay.

            Senior Steven Friend had an up and down day, he fail to clear a height in the high jump, had a personal best and team leading time in the 55m (7.13), had the baton knocked out of his hand in the 4x200m relay and completed the day on a good note with a personal indoor best in the triple jump (36ft 8in).
            The team will next compete on Sat. Jan. 8^th @ EHS.

Hargrove wins three events

     Reigning team Most Valuable Player and 2003-2004 Female Statesmen Athlete of the Year, Sophomore Jacqueline Hargrove finally got to compete in her full allotment of events. Hargrove showed no rusted from the summer and fall layoff by dominating the competition and winning three events, placing 2^nd in one on misses and led off the relay team that narrowly lost to Madison. Her time of 42.54 in the 300m dash was an automatic qualifying time for the Northern Virginia Regional championship and the times and marks in the 55m (7:84), long jump (15ft 8.75in) and high jump (4ft 8in) were better than the Liberty District championship standards.

     Sophomore Shannon McVey showed great promise last week as a member of the winning 4x400m relay and lead off leg on the “B” team 4x200m relay. However, this week she got her chance to display her individual skills and the result was a 4^th place finish and a Liberty District championship qualifying mark of 45.04 in the 300m dash.

     Junior Melissa MacNabb had another impressive double personal best in the 1000m and 1600m run including a 2^nd place finish in the shorter race. MacNabb lowered her 1600m (6:04.94) personal best by an amazing twenty-four (24) seconds and the 1000m (3:29.84) by eighteen (18) seconds. Fellow long distance runner freshman Ana Tapia also had a wonderful day with a twenty three (23) second and twelve (12) second improvement in the 1600m (6:27.04) and 1000m (3:48.84), respectively.

     Just as equally impressive was sophomore Liza Menarini who dropped a remarkable three quarter of a second off her best time in the 55m hurdles to grab 3^rd in the meet. Menarini time of 10.54 narrowly missed the Liberty District qualifying mark of 10.42 and tied her for team lead with fellow sophomore Gina Cappiello who was missing due to injuries.

     For the second week in a row, sophomore Lauren Byrne had a top three performance in the shot put. Her mark of 25ft 8.5in secured a 3^rd in the meet. Sophomore Carolyn Klingelhofer competing in the high jump for the first time this week showed that this could be the beginning to something special. She cleared two heights to finish 6^th with a 4ft 2in clearance.

     Other top six performances were sophomore Elizabeth “Blair” Monroe (4^th – 500m – 1:32.24) and junior Kelly Wieneck (5^th – 500m – 1:33.24).

     The girl’s team is filled with youth, however experience veterans, Seniors Andrew Coatsworth and Steven Friend and Junior Theo Robinson were the leaders on the boy’s side. Each member grabbed two top six finishes in the long jump and high jump. While Coatsworth when out first in the high jump with his 6^th place (5ft 4in), he actually beat Robinson to the result table with his 2^nd place Liberty District qualifying mark of 19ft 4.25in in the long jump. Robinson collected his 2^nd place finish in the high jump (5ft 8in) after completing his long jump event in 5^th place with a 17ft 9.5in mark. Friend unfortunately competed in the same events as his teammates and had to settle for two 4^th places finishes in the high jump (5ft 4in) and long jump (18ft 1.75in).

     On the track, the distance runners represented with six top 6 finishes with junior sprinter Joel Ryan sneaking into the mix with 3^rd place finish in the 500m dash (1:15.14). Sophomore Jason Pennington and Senior Michael Eckard bounced back from a rough start to the season with impressive runs in the 1000m run. Pennington lowered his personal best from last week by ten (10) seconds (2:53.64) and Eckard dipped below three minutes for the second time in his career (2:59.74). Sophomore Alex Crvk and Freshman William “Alex” Haugh continued to show signs that they will make there first indoor season special ones. Crvk captured 3^rd (5:18.44) and Haugh was right behind in 4^th (5:20.54) in the 1600m run. The foursome was also part of the 3^rd place 4x800m relay team that climbed into the top 15 in the regional (9:13.34). Sophomore Kevin Gollogley collected another top 6^th finished in the 1000m run (3:10.24).

     Junior Brandon White continued his return to the shot put and indoor track and field for the first time by placing in the top 5 for the second week in a row with a personal best of 37ft 5.25. This week there wasn’t any running involved, unlike last week when he teamed with fellow shot put teammates and sophomores Steven White, Allan Sidley and Brian Ritchey to compete in the Clydesdale 4x200m against Yorktown and Madison. The team finished 2^nd in 2:25.24.
     The team will next compete at the F.I.T Invitational in Landover, Maryland during the Christmas Break on Jan. 28^th, 2004.

Girl’s team didn’t miss a beat

---Hargrove and Girl’s 4x400m wins

Last year’s girls team was considered very young with sixteen freshman, however the team got even younger as twenty two freshman join this year. The 2003-2004 girl’s team made up of mainly freshmen qualified for the regional championship in two relays. This year’s team looked to better that team and they took a great step toward accomplishing that goal by letting everyone know last Friday. They end the meeting in commanding fashion by winning the 4x400m relay by six seconds. The team of sophomore returnees Jacqueline Hargrove, Gina Cappiello and Jamie Schiller was joined by fellow sophomore Shannon McVey and they ran the 9^th fastest time in the Region of 4:27.74. The three returnees joined another sophomore returnee Elizabeth “Blair” Monroe and they placed 2^nd in the 4x200m relay with the Northern VA Regional’s 7^th fastest time of 1:57.44.

Triple District champion Jacqueline Hargrove showed no sophomore jinx by winning the 500m dash with a District Qualifier and personal best time of 1:23.54. Gina Cappiello showed major improvement in the 55m hurdles by placing second in a personal best time of 10.54. Sophomores Kelly Wiencek (11.24 & 49.44) and Liza Mencarini (11.24 & 50.34) grabbed two top six finishes in the 55m hurdles and 300m dash. Other top six finishes were sophomores Gabriela Rangel-Lafuente (55mH – 3^rd – 11.14), Elizabeth Monroe (55m – 4^th - 8.44) Lauren Byrne (Shot Put – 4^th – 26ft 2.5in) and Jamie Schiller (500m – 6^th - 1:32.44). Junior Melissa MacNabb has a personal best in placing 6^th in the 1600m run with a time of 6:28.24.

The boy’s team lost a big piece of their success with the graduation however, last year’s Most Valuable Player Junior Theo Robinson showed why he was honored by grabbing an automatic District qualifier in the high jump with 4^th placed mark of 5ft 6in. Junior Brandon White placed an impressive 2^nd in the Shot put competition with a personal best mark of 36ft 8.5in. The 4x400m team of District 500m runner Senior Andrew Coatsworth, 300m Regional qualifier junior Joel Ryan and newcomers sophomore Storm Rhode and freshman Oscar Olazo looked impressive with a 2^nd place finish time of 3:53.64. Coatsworth (1:16.54), Ryan (1:18.44) and Olazo (1:18.54) grabbed 4^th, 5^th and 6^th, respectively in the 500m dash. The same feat was accomplished in the 1000m run lead by 2004 Freshman of the year and Cross-country Regional Qualifier sophomore Jason Pennington (3:03.34), converted sprinter Kevin Gollogley (3:03.54) and senior Alex Finnell (3:03.64), all personal best. In other finishes, sophomore Alex Cvrk placed 4^th in the 1600m run with a personal best of 5:21.14.

The next meet with Saturday, Dec. 18^th, 2004 @ Episcopal High School in Alexandria starting at 7:15AM.

Hargrove concluded season at State Championship

Triple Liberty District Champion and school record holder freshman Jacqueline Hargrove completed her wonderful season with two top 15 finishes at the Virginia AAA State championship. She placed 14th in the 400m (59.96) and 15th in the 200m dash (26.32). The state meet was a culmination of a season that begin in December and included three school records in the 300m (indoors), 200m and 400m meters outdoors. There was also three Liberty District crowns in the 55m, 100m and 200m and an appearance at the National Indoor Championship in New York.

Hargrove break two school records

            --Qualifies in four events for State championship.

Three times Liberty District champion and Freshman Jacqueline Hargrove continued on her historical record breaking season by adding two school to her resume at the 2004 Northern Virginia Regional Outdoor championship. Hargrove competed in three events and grabbed three bronze medals in pushing the team to an impressive 6^th place finish. Her first medal was in the long jump competing where she leap from 12^th place to 3^rd place with a personal best of 16ft 11in. The 400m and 200m dash trials were also held on Thursday and Hargrove easily qualified for the finals.

            On Friday, Hargrove collected her third school record of the year with a 58.47 clocking in the 400m dash and a 25.72 time in the 200m dash. Both times placed her number one all time in Statesmen history and grabbed two more bronze medals for the meet. Her third place finishes were also automatic State qualified for the championship schedule for June 3^rd and 4^th in Newport News, Virginia.

            Hargrove broke the Melanie Burgesss eight year old 200m dash record of 25.8 and Karen Vandecars night year old 400m record of 59.94. During the indoor season, Hargrove also broke Karen Vadecars 300m dash record of 42.31 with her state and regional performance of 42.08.

            Senior Doug Shapiro missed making his first state championship by the narrowest of margins. Shapiro ran a personal best time of 4:29.29 but it left him in 7^th place with the top 6 finishes moving on to the state championship. Sophomore Theo Robinson had to endure the feeling of fulfillment and disappointment all in the same two seconds in the high jump competition. Robinson cleared the height on his third and final jump and thought he had a personal best mark of 6ft 0in he had to watch two second later as the bar riddled off. It was joy and sadness all in two second.

            Freshman Nicole Harrison competed in three events but shell have to wait until next year to advance to the State championship. Harrison had an impressive championship season after taking off for a good month to qualify for three events at the regional champs. In the meet she missed the finals in the 400m by three places and qualified for the semi-finals of the 100m. Junior Kaitlyn Johnson qualified in the two throwing events and she finished an impressive 17^th and 18^th, respectively in the Discus and Shot.

            The boys 4x400m team of Junior Andrew Coatsworth, Sophomore Joel Ryan, Junior Adeyemi Ojumu and Senior Doug Shapiro finished 12^th in the event with their second best time of the season (3:35.11).

            The Virginia AAA State championship is schedule for June 4^th and 5^th at Newport News, VA. Hargrove will be competing in three of four events she qualified for (Long Jump, 400m, 200m).

Hargrove wins two crowns

            ---Boy's 4x400m relay team sneaks in after hours

Freshman Jacqueline Hargrove captured two sprint crowns at the Liberty District Championship at McLean High School. Hargrove dominated the sprints by winning the 100m and 200m and placed a very close second in the 400m dash. Like the Winter championship when she won the 55m dash crown with a State qualifying time, Hargrove did the same in the 100m dash winning with a state qualifying time of 12.69. The 200m dash race was even more a blow out and she won by over ten meters in a time of 25.99. She missed adding a three title in the 400m dash in a photo finished with South Lakes senior Tara Markey. It was a long championship for her as she competed in five trial races on Thursday and three finals on Friday. She also managed to get six jumps in for the long jump in placing 3^rd in a personal best of 16ft 4in.

            Fellow freshman Nicole Harrison also had a long day on Thursday as she competed in five races and two field events. It was even harder for Harrison as this was her first meet after a month lay off however, she showed no lost of strength in making the finals of the 100m and 400m dash, the semi-finals of the 200m, taking three jumps in the long jump and capturing a bronze medal in the high jump competition. On Friday, Harrison completed her return by capturing another bronze in the 400m and booking her place at regional in the 100m dash with a personal best time of 13.02.

            Junior Kaitlyn Johnson wanted to continue the winning throwing tradition established by Joe Swarm over the last seven year. She came in ranked 3^rd in the both the shot put and discus event and looked to be in perfect position to run the streak to eight year with a throwing title. However, she did her best including a personal best of 83ft 3in in the discus but Johnson could only captured a 3^rd in the shot and 4^th in the Discus. Johnson will be moving on to the Regional championships next week at Lake Braddock

            Hargrove, Harrison and Johnson were the three scores for the Girls team but their efforts were reward with a 4^th place team finish with 57 points.

            On the mens side, sophomore Theo Robinson set four personal best and equaled another to be the only member to qualify for two individual events for the Regional championship. Robinson continued to have a wonderful season in the jumps improving in every meet. His best finish was in the High jump where her leap to 5ft 10in for the three week in a row to grab the bronze medal. He also bounded and leap to his first 19 foot long jump and his first 39ft triple jump along with dipping under 25 seconds for the first time.

Senior Doug Shapiro has had his share of close finishes in the District 1600m run, he figure this one would be no different and it wasnt. He had finishes of 2^nd his freshman year, another 2^nd in the Winter indoor champs and this meet Shapiro had to settle for 3^rd even after dropping over six second off his personal best. This time of 4:31.92 did move him into 4^th place all time in Statesmen history.

Sophomore Justin Harper had a lot on his plate for the week, he had to study for an IB projects, prepare for the prom and try to earn a regional spot. The final goal seem out of reach because books came first and prom was the same day as the 800m finals, the event he ran last year at Regional. Something need to be done, through a lot of debating, there was finally an answer, why not have him run the 400m. That was the best solution and Harper did not disappoint as he grabbed 4^th place with a three second personal best of 52.58.

The 4x4 team had a lot of issues, it was losing their number one 400m runner Harper and two other possible legs to the prom, Robinson had ran his three running events and their were in a very close race for the third spot for regional. Junior Adeyemi Ojumu wanted a chance to redeem him self after losing his spot late in the season, and he got his chance. Called upon by the coaches, he knew there was work to do, but the meet directors did his a favor, they ran the race in a waterfalls style. Ojumu ran his heart out and pulled the team into sixth place with a 55 second lead off leg. He handoff to fellow junior Andrew Coatsworth who cruise behind the leader for three hundred and fifty meters, he then took off on a mad sprint to hand off the baton to sophomore Joel Ryan. Running in his relaxing style, Ryan gradually eat up the lead from Madison and Lee to pull the team within five meters of the final spot. Shapiro running in his final Liberty District championship wanted to make this run special and he did as he pulled the team a very close 4^th place finish.

Even though we placed 4^th and only three teams goes to regional, it was a great run which resulted in our best time in four years of 3:34.22. The students went home disappointed but the meet wasnt quite over because Lee Senior Michael Hagos the lead off leg had ran four running events for the meet. The rules states you can only run three running events per meet but incorrect information by the games committee seemingly open the door for the Lee Senior to run four events. In the end, the regional and district officials claimed Lee was wrong and Hagos was disqualified from the meet in all events including the 4x400m, allowing the team to sneaking the championship on Saturday.

Other outstanding performances, Freshman Jamie Schiller competed in four events (100m, 200m, 400m, High Jump), sophomore Filla Sofia Baliwag won her heat in the 1600m run with a personal best time of 6:09.20 and Senior Mai Hassan had a personal best on her final meet of her high school career with a 6:27.54 in the 1600m.     Freshman Jason Pennington showed that the future in the distance will be bright after the departure of Shapiro with an excellent double, 2:09.72 and 4:49.35. He missed making the regional by one spot in the 1600m and two spots in the 800m. The 4x800m (Harper, Junior Michael Eckard, Pennington and Shapiro) and 4x100m (Ojumu, Ryan, Robinson, Coatsworth) teams missed making the regional championship by one spot, both teams moved into the top ten all in school history.

            Other personal best, Ojumu (triple jump), Ryan (400m), Junior Steven Friend (High jump, 200m), Eckard (800m) and sophomore Robert Chan (800m). Overall the team placed 5^th with 31 points.

            The team will next compete at the Regional Championship schedule for Lake Braddock on Thursday, May 27^th and Friday, May 28^th, 2004.

Hargrove win three events at home

            Freshman Jacqueline Hargrove dominated the sprints for the second week in a row by winning the 100m, 200m and 400m. In the final regular season meet before the championship season, Hargrove looked poised to add another title to the 55m dash crown she collected in the winter. This time around she will be looking to add three titles in the running events starting on Thursday, May 20^th, 2004 at McLean High School. The final home meet versus Langley and South Lakes provided the teams with the main challenges to her accomplishing the feat she repeated the last two home meets. Hargrove had two personal best in Liberty District and would have been regional qualifiers with a 12.74 (100m) and 59.04 (400m District leading time). She came close to her personal best in the 200m dash with a 26.34 clocking under the District qualifying time. Hargrove also grabbed second in the long jump for good measures.

            Junior Kaitlyn Johnson continued her wonderful season in the throws by grabbing two second place finishes in the Discus and Shot put. Her throw of 82ft 6in was a personal best and her shot put of 30ft 8in was a District qualifier. Sophomore Filla Sofia Baliwag also grabbed a couple of second place finished in the 1600m (6:13.04 personal best) and the 800m (2:45.94). Freshman Jamie Schiller running all three sprinting races had impressive finished of two seconds, one third and one fourths. It included personal best in the 100m (14.04), 200m (28.64) and high Jump (4ft 2in).

            On the mens side, sophomore Theo Robinson was the lone individual winner in the triple jump with a leap of 37ft 2.75in. For the second week in a row, Robinson jumped 5ft 10in however he had to settle for second on misses. The boys team did grab two impressive wins in the long relays. The 4x800m team of Sophomore Justin Harper, Junior Michael Eckard, Sophomore Joel Ryan and Senior Doug Shapiro won in a seasonal best 8:43.04. Harper, Ryan and Shapiro then teamed with Junior Andrew Coatsworth to win the 4x400m in their second fastest time of the season (3:36.04).

            The 4x100 team of Junior Adeyemi Ojumu, Junior Steven Friend, Robinson and Coatsworth placed second. Ojumu and Shapiro also placed second in the triple jump and 1600m, respectively.

            The team will next compete in the Liberty District Championship set for Thursday 20^th and Friday 21^st, 2004 at McLean High School starting at 4:30pm.

Teams obtained seasonal best at Penn Relays.

With three freshmen and one sophomore the expectations for the Penn Relay, the biggest and oldest running high school track and field relay meet in the country was uncertain. The team of freshmen Jacqueline Hargrove, Nicole Harrison and Jamie Schiller and sophomore Filla Sofia Baliwag prepared and competed as though it was any other competition. It served it well as they produced seasonal best in the 4x100m (54.27) and the 4x400m (4:19.08). Their times were the fasted outdoors in at least four years and considering these facts, it make the performances event greater. They had never ran the 4x100m before in a meet or practice, Baliwags specialty is the 800m run and they had never competed in this kind of environment before. This year was used for experience next well be bringing home at least a plaque.

The boy's team traveled up a day later and competed early Saturday morning. They used the nice weather compared to last years experience to produce their first time in four year. The team of Junior Andrew Coatsworth, Junior Steven Friend, Senior Doug Shapiro and Sophomore Joel Ryan ran a swift 3:35.63 to inch nearly 11 seconds from the school record.

Dynamic duo leads team at the Northern Virginia Invitational

            --Hargrove bag four medals and Harrison grab three medals.

             The freshmen combination of Jacqueline Hargrove and Nicole Harrison captured medals in every event they were entered. Hargrove the most experience of the too was crowned 200m Champion by avenging her loss in the 100m dash to Westfield Senior Carmen Meade. Running in lane number two, Hargrove ran a good turn to pull even with Meade heading into the straightway, she then put on the burners to pull away to the win in an automatic Northern Virginia Regional championship Qualifying time of 26.49. Earlier, Hargrove automatically qualified for the regional in the 100m dash with a time of 13.00 however, she had to settle for second place. She also placed 4^th in the long jump during the rain on Friday with a mark of 14ft 1in.

Fellow freshman and best friend Nicole Harrison running in her second meet of the week and coming off a four win performance on Wednesday also had to battle the rain but reap the benefits by taking 3^rd in the high jump with a mark of 4ft 6in. Harrison came back on Saturday and had to battle more cold weather but she still manage to out sprint the competition in the 400m to win her heat in a new personal best, Liberty District qualifier and 3^rd place overall finish time of 1:01.91. She also jumped 13ft 10in to finish 7^th in the long jump, just miss medalling in the event.

Hargrove and Harrison combine their talents along with fellow freshman Jamie Schiller and sophomore Filla Sofia Baliwag and walk their way to a medal in the 4x400m relay. Baliwag running the anchor leg was so confident and assure of their skills she wanted everyone to make sure the crowd remember the name Marshall. So, she took her time and complete the race in style by literally walking across the finish line.

On the boys side sophomore Theo Robinson keeps showing signs of a breakout season on the brink has he out leap the bitterness of the rain and cold to a huge personal best while equaling another. With the rain causing the Friday evening events to be long and difficult, no one except good jumps much less personal best, however Robinson along with his teammates had their own motivation, a cup of hot chocolate. So on his first jump, he gathered himself and let it all go and when his mark of 18ft 1in was read his supporters erupted (mainly his mother) but he calmly declared, now that more like a burger and a hot chocolate. On Saturday, the weather didnt get much better, however it good enough for Robinson to equal his personal best and automatically qualified for the Liberty District Championship in the high jump with a height of 5ft 8in and set a new personal best in triple jump with a leap of 36ft 5.25in.

Jumping from the field to the track was a forced issue for Robinson. His service was required on the Distance medal relay when a member did not show up for the meet. He ran a good race to keep the team close for Senior Doug Shapiro to run a wonderful anchor leg. Shapiro ends up in that position due to the hard work of freshman Jason Pennington on the leg off leg, Robinson and junior Michael Eckard. Shapiro received the baton in 7^th place and gradually worked his way into to striking distance. On the final 200m, he took off on a mad sprint to pull the team in 6^th place and on the medal stand.
         Freshman Jamie Schiller (200m, 400m), Timothy Lees, sophomore Joel Ryan (100m, 200m), junior Andrew Coatsworth (100m, 200m) had two personal best each and junior Adeyemi Ojumu (Long jump, 100m, 200m) produce three personal best including a big one in the long jump. Other personal best, Mai Hassan (800m), Michael Eckard (800m), Freshman Vincent Reese (400m), Jason Pennington (1600m), Alex Crvk (1600m) and Po-Han Chen (1600m).

Harrison goes undefeated with four wins.

            Freshman sprinter/jumper Nicole Harrison started her track and field career with a bang by going four for four at the tri-meet between the Statesmen, McLean and W.T. Woodson. Harrison is known was a hustler on the basketball court but it was nothing compare to running between events on the track and the field. She had to learn how to juggle her time between the long jump, the high jump, 400m and 200m dash. However, she made it easy by capturing all four events under the Liberty District championship qualifying times. Not only did she qualify for the championships, Harrison grab the top spots in all four events under this coaching staff. Her performances not only set up a battle for the best in the District but the best on her own team.

            Senior distance runner Doug Shapiro wanted this season to be different from his pervious three and it did. He started it on a winning note with a dominating leg off leg on the second place 4x800m relay team and came back to win the 1600m run. He also dropped a sizzling second leg on the 4x400m relay team to end the night with expectations of a special season to come.

            Juniors Andrew Coatsworth, Kaitlyn Johnson and sophomore Theo Robinson captured second place in the boy's 400m, girl's shot put and boy's high jump, respectively. Sophomore Joel Ryan (400m), junior Steven Friend (high jump) and freshman Sumayya Al-shingieti (shot put) placed third in their events.
            Most of the members will be compete this weekend at the Northern Virginia Invitational on Friday, April 2^nd and 3^rd @ Oakton High School.

Marshall Alum Finds Success in Marathon

ARTICLE ON FORMER STATEMEN STAR Meghan McLaughlin

by DAVE FACINOLI

Staff Writer

She wasnt expecting the situation to work out as well it did, but the first time certainly turned out to be a charm for Meghan McLaughlin. By finishing third last fall in the first marathon she ever ran, the 1998 Marshall High School graduate recorded a time of 2 hours, 46 minutes, 52 seconds in the Philadelphia Marathon. As a result, McLaughlin qualified for the womens United States Olympic Marathon Trials that are next month at Washington University in St. Louis.

I wanted to qualify for the trials some day, but I was thinking more like in 2008, said McLaughlin, a 25-year-old Vienna resident who runs for the Potomac River Running Club and works as a consultant for Acumen Solutions in Tysons Corner. I certainly wasnt expecting to qualify as soon as I did.

McLaughlins primary reason for running that particular Philadelphia Marathon on Nov. 23 was as a test run to get a feel for the 26-mile distance. Then, she planned to make her big push to qualify for the trials in January at a marathon in Phoenix. But that wasnt necessary.

After taking a 42-second bathroom break at the 15-mile mark during the Philadelphia Marathon, McLaughlin felt much better and quickened her pace the rest of the way.

At the 18-mile mark my pace was more consistent, so I thought I had a chance, McLaughlin said. The race was the most painful fun Ive had in my life. McLaughlin realizes that qualifying for the Olympics will be a long shot. She has to finish in the top three, then have a good enough qualifying time. Her goal is to run in the low 2-hour, 40-minute range. Even if she does, that time will probably not qualify.Mostly I just want to run and have fun, she said.No matter what happens this year, four years from now McLaughlin will try to qualify for the trials and Olympic games again.

Meghan epitomizes what running can do for you, said Barry Mensh, who coached McLaughlin at Marshall. She loves to run, is a real tough kid and she is an overachiever. McLaughlin has been an accomplished runner for quite some time. At Marshall, McLaughlin finished sixth at the Virginia Group AAA state cross country championships her senior year. In track and field at the school she was a district champion in a number of races.

During her senior year at Radford University in 2002, McLaughlin became the first female runner in school history to qualify for the NCAA national cross country championships. Also at Radford, McLaughlin was a two-time Big South Conference champion in the 10,000 meters in track and field.

Once her college career was over, McLaughlin began participating in numerous 5-kilometer and 10-K races. Then last year at the United States Track & Field National Cross Country Championships in Houston, McLaughlin finished 15th.

Now McLaughlin has an opportunity next month to add to her already distinguished running career.

Hargrove fight her way to States.

            Liberty District Champion freshman Jacqueline Hargrove had to fight through the pain in her back to secure her second event spot at the Virginia AAA State Championship. Running from a tough lane one, Hargrove almost pull off a major upset in the 300m dash with a personal best of 42.08. In the end, she was quite happy with her silver medal because she knew there is always next week. Hopefully, shell get a better lane and her back will feel better. Hargrove will compete in the 55m dash and 300m dashes at the State meet schedule to be run Friday and Saturday @ George Mason University.

            Senior Doug Shapiro running from the slow heat knew his chances were slim to make it to the state meet however, he also knew that he had not ran his best race yet. After allowing the pack to pace him for the first 1200 meters, Shapiro decided it was time to put this race out of reach. He took off on a mad sprint for the next two lapped and didnt let us until he cross the finish line. His time of 4:37.66 dropped over three second off his pervious best. Then he had to play the waiting game to see how the seeded heat would do. First the first part of the race, his chance was zero due to the fast pace set by the Jefferson runner, however the race knock some people back and his chance increased. Going into the last lace he was in States because the two people he need to beat was losing ground. However, the runner from West Springfield must had heard something chasing him because he took off like a mad dog and edged Shapiro (4:34.96 - 4:37.66).

            Earlier the all freshman team of Elizabeth (Blair) Monroe, Gina Cappiello, Jamie Schiller and Kathryn Fay had some sweet handoffs in the 4x200m relay in an impressive performance to drip under the two minute mark. They time of 1:55.99 was the second fastest time of the season and it showed their maturity and improvement. They time was impressive because it was run without Hargrove who was the member of all the pervious relays under two minutes. It too bad we dont have soccer in the fall hey there a neat idea, Mr. Grainer.

            The jumper has a tough going earlier in the morning. After stepping up in the Liberty District Champs, the two week rest period took away the momentum. There schedules was thrown off by the weather, the start of spring sports and the layoff itself. Sophomore Theo Robinson fail to clear the opening height of 5ft 6in and fouled on all there of his attempt in the long jump. Junior Devin Mawdsley splitting time between soccer and track also fouled on all three attempts in the long jump. Hargrove also had a tough time in the long jump and could only muster 14ft 9.25in to place 14^th.

            The chances in the 4x400m relay, the last event of the meet were slim to none for those teams. However, everyone was excited and ready to compete. The girls team was led off by Hargrove who had to wrestle between sitting out or putting on one more show. She choose to show and put the team in the lead from the gun. Cappiello was impressive as usually pulling the team to even bigger lead, the battle came down to the wire and a good hand off to Schiller had the Lady Statesmen in the lead and rumbling with the big dogs. It was a close fight the whole way for Schiller and when Fay took the hand off it was sprint to the finish. The team placed third in the heat but they had earned the respect of their peers.

            Junior Andrew Coatsworth had an impressive season considering that he only ran at five meets for the season. Just making to the Regional championship is impressive but being a true competitor that wasnt good enough for him. He want to win, therefore after failing to accomplish that task of making it to states, he decided the 4x400m runners will had to pay the price. Coatsworth did not disappoint lead off the team with a nice split of 54.3 to put them in the running. A beautiful hand off to had the team in second but Shapiro had no plans to sit and wait. He over took the lead runner and pulled away into the lead. Sophomore Joel Ryan had his share of disappointment in the 300m dash and he too wanted a piece of the action. After take the handoff and starting slow (a tradition he working on changing), Ryan knew where his strength was and it came in a furious sprint pass everyone on the second lap backstretch. Mawdsley finally took the relay baton correct and it propelled him to a nice lead on the first lap. But, this is track and everyone makes a comeback and they did. They pulled a Joel Ryan impression and came roaring on the back stretch. They came three abreast into the straight away and it was a run the line. When the smoke cleared and photo finish had developed, they guy had run their fastest time of season to place third in their heat and 9^th overall.

            For everyone it was a culmination of a wonderful season, it fun on the track, on the field, on the boys side, the girls side, for the old and the new. We started off with a couple of goals, have fun, compete and be respected. I would have to say, weve accomplished all our goals. Hargrove compete at States is an indication of our future. She represents the new class.

Relays provide exciting finish on Day Two of the Championship

-Hargrove crowned District Champion

For the last three indoor seasons, weve had our shares of heartaches and disappointment when it comes to the one true team race, the relays. We've always have some misfortune that befall us. 2001 was the placement in the slow heat, 2002 was the famous uniform incident and 2003 was the phantom baton throwing. So, for 2004 there was only one wish, Can we place get at least one relay team to the Northern Virginia Regional Championship? Well, the new kids on the block wanted to make sure those days were over and strutted their stuff and got not one but three relay teams to regional.

Coaches kind of had the feelings that things were going to turn around when this time; it was the girls team not the boys who had the better opportunity to reverse the trend. The girls 4x200m team consisting of four super freshmen knew that the entry time did not reflect their talent or abilities. Unfortunately, the seeding does not have a place to rank those attributes, so the team had to do their work from the slower of the two section finals. It would prove to be a blessing in disguise as the team played pass the baton around the track with no interference, just like practice. Freshly crowned Liberty District 55m dash Champion and State qualifier Jacqueline Hargrove led off the relay and they needed to work on was their hand off. The hand offs were prefect and the team of Hargrove, Gina Cappiello, Jamie Schiller and Kathryn Fay won the slow section in 1:52.17, dropping over five (5) second off their pervious best. The hard part was the wait, through all the bumping and pushing in the fast section the results came in and the girls team came within a lane disqualification of being crowned District Champion.

Success in the 4x200m was expected to be difficult especially running from the slow section. Coming into the meet, the 4x400m team had the better shot at making it to the regional championship because everyone runs in one heat and they were ranked number three (3). We expected to take the lead and then hold off the other team to the finish line. Before the race, Hargrove was issued a challenge to dip under 60 second on the lead off leg. She did one better with her a sizzling 57.9 leg to put the team in command of the race. Cappiello stretched Hargrove to the end of the zone and like she always does keep pushing the pace. The hand off to Schiller was smooth and she zipped her tiny frame around the track. We know McLean who had the number one ranked team in the event had load up the end of their relay and they finally caught up to go into last turn of the third leg. Fay ran her heart out to catch the Mclean senior, however when it was all counted and the smoke cleared, the team had dropped over thirteen (13) seconds off their best (4:16.29).

The boys team finally ran up to their abilities a week before the District Championship and they wanted to built on their success. They knew regional was within their reach but it was going to be easy. The team that ran the week before was missing one member due to injury and rounds and multiple events had taken a toll on their bodies. They also knew that if they can hold off the doubts and pain for less than a minute each, it would mean success and an additional two weeks to get health. Liberty District 500m dash runner up Junior Andrew Coatsworth led off the team and instantly we were in the lead. Two time Liberty District 1600m runner up Senior Doug Shapiro got the baton with a slight lead and had to battle all the way. When 300m finalist Junior Joel Ryan got the baton he it was no longer a battle for a spot alone to the regional it was a three team fight to be crowned District champion. Ryan handed the baton to Regional Long jumper qualifier Junior Devin Mawdsley who dearly wanted to make up for his disappointment in the 4x200m relay. He kept the battle up between the three team with South Lakes a head, Marshall in second and Madison trailing. Mawdsley took the lead heading into the straightway for the last lapped a looked poised to pull off the upset. The fight was not over and it came down to the wire with South Lakes pulling ahead, Madison sneaking in for second and the Statesman cruising into third. Most importantly they had a seasonal best and will be taking their act on the road to the Northern Virginia Championship.

Caught up in all the hype on the track, might have over looked the performance by sophomore Theo Robinson. However, his mother didnt let anyone forget as she would scream every time he cleared a height. In all he would clear three heights to grab the bronze medal in equaling his personal best of 5ft 8in. Robinson missed making it three for three in qualifying for regional when his personal best of 37ft 10.25in placed him 7^th, missing the final spot by less than two inches. Freshman Jake Oster and Senior Keith Born also had personal best in the triple jump to finish, 8^th and 9^th, respectively.

The Northern Virginia Regional Championship will be held in two weeks on Feb. 28^th, 2004 @ George Mason University.

Hargrove grab two medals on Liberty District Championship Day One

            Freshman Jumper/Sprinter Jacqueline Hargrove looked like no first year competitor on Day one of the Liberty District Championship at Prince Georges Country Sports and Learning Complex. She stepped up her performances like a veteran in capturing two medals and qualifying for the Northern Virginia Regional Championship. Hargrove put the pressure on her older competitors in the high jump including the defending champion, Fairfax Senior Tiana Boykin and came pretty close to knocking off the champ. However, even though they both jumped the same height along with McLean sophomore Megan Ney, Boykin was award the gold medal because of fewer misses, Ney the silver and Hargrove the bronze.

            In the long jump, Hargrove again had to bump heads with other senior, Alisha Bryant from South Lakes. She created a great battle in stretching the veteran to the limit and finally losing out on the gold when the Bryant jumped a meet record. Hargrove had a big personal best of her own with a nearly two feet improvement. The battle will continue at the regional championship. As it in the 55m dash, where Hargrove is neck and neck with Wilson of Langley and Davis of South Lakes going into Thursdays final.

            In the boys long jump, Junior Devin Mawdsley and sophomore Theo Robinson will be joining Hargrove at the Regional championship after pulling off some upset to place 4^th and 6^th, respectively. Mawdsley had a huge personal best in jumping 17ft 10.5 in and Robinson continued his consistent improvement in gaining his personal best of 17ft 5.25in to book their first trip to the ship.

            Junior Andrew Coatsworth had the honor of being the only sprinter competing in two individual events. While he won his signature event, the 500m dash and qualified for the finals, the 300m dash ran an half an hour later was not his friend. After a good start and a better finished to place 3^rd in his heat with a personal best, Coatsworth had to wait to find out if he made the finals. It came down to the final heat, he need the second and third guys to finish slower then his time of 38.97. However, he did not get his wish, as they finished ahead of him (38.78, 38.87) to claim the final spots.

            Sophomore Joel Ryan had no such issues, as he won his heat to secure this spot in the finals. Even though his time was slower than Coatsworth, Ryan advanced because the winners of the heat plus the next two fastest finishers make the finals.

            Other performances, Junior Michael Eckard broke the three minute barrier in the 1000m run to place fifth in the slow section. Senior Mai Hassan dropped over thirteen seconds off her best to dip below four minutes for the women 1000m run. Freshman Jamie Schiller and Kathryn Fay dropped four seconds and two seconds off of their personal, respectively in the 500m and 300m dash.

            The finals are schedule for Thursday, Feb. 12^th, 2004 at the Prince Georges County Sports and Learning complex starting at 4:45pm.

Diverse Crew, Diverse Goals Olympic Trials Marathon Qualifiers Take Their Best Shot Today By Bonnie Berkowitz Washington Post Staff Writer Saturday, February 7, 2004; Page D01 The pressure for Darrell General of Hyattsville will be lifted when he crosses the starting line. General knows he won't make the Athens team, but he will enter a different elite company. When the gun goes off, he will become only the fourth man in U.S. history to compete in five Olympics trials marathons. His best finish was 12th in 1996. At 38, he sees fewer and fewer of his contemporaries at the front of local races. But he says it is injury, not age, that will hamper his time today. The two-time Marine Corps Marathon winner and coach at Marshall High didn't run a step between July and October because of knee problems. He credits his co-workers at Metro Run & Walk in Falls Church -- several of the area qualifiers work at running stores -- with getting him moving again. But he never considered not running the trials for three reasons: Deanna, Darrell and D'Andre. General's children, ages 14, 10 and 9, have traveled with him to many big races, but they have just recently become old enough to comprehend the enormous amount of day-to-day work behind those performances. "This will finally be one where they really remember," he said, noting that D'Andre was just 5 at the 2000 trials. "That's why it's so important for me to run well. Now, they understand that you have to work hard to achieve." General's kids likely will have plenty more opportunities to see their father work, as he intends to become the first U.S. man ever to qualify for a sixth Olympic trials marathon. "I have plenty of goals, and qualifying one more time is a goal," he said. "I can still run fast."

Team prep for District by running with the big dogs

            All season the coaches have been waiting to put the best relay teams on the track with no success due to injuries, scheduling conflicts and too many reasons to mention. The opportunity finally presented itself on the final meet before the Liberty District Championship and they had the prefect opponent to test their skills against in the Northern Virginia Regional powerhouse Lake Braddock high school. For the first two legs of the boys and girls 4x400 meters relays, we looked like the powerhouse team. In the girls race freshman Jacqueline Hargrove continued to impress as she blasted the field and put the team in first place by 20 meters. In the boys race Junior Andrew Coatsworth showed off his explosive start and quickness need at EHS to stretch out the field by over 10 meters. Freshman Gina Cappiello banking on the lead given to her by Hargrove kept pushing the pace. Junior Doug Shapiro fresh off a win in the 1600m and a Liberty Qualifier in the 500m, exploded pushed the lead another 10 meters.

Sooner or later, we knew the dogs would be coming, freshman Kathryn Fay and sophomore Robert Chan kept pushing the lead for another 300 meters. Finally, Lake Braddock showing their depth and pulled slightly ahead of the Statesmen. Freshman Jamie Schiller and Sophomore Joel Ryan did what they could to catch the anchor legs but the best they could do was keep it close to take second place. In the end, both team achieve four year Indoor best and proved that they are ready to take on the Liberty District.

            In other event, Hargrove added another achievement to her long list for the season by automatically qualifying for the Northern Virginia Regional Championship in the 55m dash (7.64) and personal best and district qualifier in the high jump (5ft 8in). Shapiro added two Liberty District qualifiers in the 1600m (4:41.94) and the 500m dash (1:12.74). Coatsworth had a personal best and District qualifier in the 500m dash (1:12.64). Both the boys (1:42.74) and girls (1:57.54) 4x200m teams improved on their seasonal best.

            The next meet will be the Liberty District Championship schedule to be held on Friday, Feb. 6^th and Thursday, Feb. 12^th, 2004 @ Prince Georges County Sportsplex in Landover, Maryland.

Schiller return to form

            ----Hargrove notch two more wins.

            Freshman sprinter/jumper Jamie Schiller had to battle the flu two weeks ago that looked to derail a very good season for her. However, she recovered very nicely and showed to have return to the form before the Christmas holidays. Competing in the maximum three running events (two individual and one relay), she produced two personal best in both individual events. Schiller also finally leaped over a barrier in the high jump by finally clearing 4ft 4in.

            Sophomore jumper Theo Robinson looked outstanding in clearing 5ft 8in in winning the high jump in a personal best and Liberty District qualifier. After it seems as though he was stuck at the 5ft 5in mark, Robinson took a week off and looked very good in clearing his first three heights. He has three tries at 5ft 10 but missed it on brushes.

Freshman sprinter/jumper Jacqueline Hargrove came back after a week off to dominate the competition as usually. She won the 55m and 300m dash in Liberty District qualifying times. Hargrove also grabbed two 2^nd places in the Long and High jumps.

Fellow freshman sprinter/jumper Jake Oster also had a good day by scoring in three events and obtaining four personal best. He had personal best in the 55m (7.24), 300m (42.64), Long Jump (16ft 11in) and the Triple Jump (34ft 7in).

Senior distance runner Doug Shapiro won his signature event (1000m) in a Liberty District qualifying time of 2:48.14) and sophomore sprinter Joel Ryan placed 4^th in a 300m dash with Liberty District qualifying time of 39.54.

In an historical first in four years, Junior sprinter Andrew Coatsworth cleared 8ft 6in in the pole vault competition. His second place finish was compliment of a borrowed pole from Edison High School.

Coatsworth make wonderful first impression.

            Junior transfer sprinter Andrew Coatsworth had to wait for the new year to begin his running career at Marshall. This weekend, he got his chance and did not disappoint. Coatsworth grabbed a pair of third in both of his indoor individual events at the Five way meet versus Yorktown, Jefferson, Langley and Wakefield. His times in the 500m dash (1:15.84) and the 300m (41.24) placed in number two on the seasonal ranking list.

            Senior distance runner Mai Hassan finally got all her distraction out of the way and competed in a fully competition. She showed where her focus was by producing some impressive personal best. Hassan dropped over ten (10) seconds in the 1600m run and lowered her best in the 1000m by five (5) seconds.

            Freshman sprinter Gina Cappiello and Kathryn Fay has two impressive double in the 55m dash and 300m. They both scored in the 55m, 4^th and 5^th respectively and dipped under 49 seconds in the 300m dash.

            Junior sprinter Joel Ryan grabbed second in the 300m dash with an impressive 40.94 on the slippery TJMS track. He also a member of the winning 4x200m relay team along with fellow sophomores Robert Chan, Theo Robinson and Junior Devin Mawdsley.

            Sophomore sprinter Noah Ryan and freshman sprinter Timothy Lees dropped over four (4) seconds off the their time in the 500m dash and sophomore sprinter Bryan Clark shaved over three (3) second of his best.

Shapiro got the new year off to a flying start.

               Senior distance runner Doug Shapiro was missing in action the first three meets fighting injuries sustain during the cross-country season, so he decided to toast 2004 in a big way. After making the majority of practices for the first in recent memories, he felt that he was ready to get back to the form that cumulated with a runner up performance in the 2001 Liberty District spring championship. Shapiro informed the coaches that his confidence level was very high and he was looking forward to a good meet. He even requested to run the two short distance races for the first time in a while. Shapiro was granted his wish and he did not disappoint. He started slow in the 1600m and after two laps, decided that it was time to do put in some work. Moving up gradually and picking off competitors one by one, he made his way to the led pack and run to an easy win in his group race. His time of 4:47.84 automatically qualified him for the 2004 Liberty District winter championship.                The 1000m race was different story as Shapiro ran with the leaders from the other group. He finished second in the overall race but easily won his meet with a time of 2:50.14 while narrowly missed the District qualifier by less than a quarter of a second.

               Freshman sprinter Jacqueline Hargrove continued her sensational season by adding two more Liberty District qualifiers to her resume. She lowered her personal best in easily winning the 500m dash in a District qualifying time of 1:26.34. For good measures, she won the 55m (7.84) dash and qualified again for Districts. Hargrove finally met an event she couldn't conquer in the triple jump as she failed to obtain a mark.

               Sophomore jumper/sprinter Theo Robinson had an outstanding meet has he was highest placing athlete in all the events entered. They included two personal best in the 55m (7.44) and 300m (42.34) dash. The other events competed in were the long jump (16ft 11in) and triple jump (36ft 3.75in). In his second season, Robinson is developing into the super athletes teams need to be competitive in the Virginia track and field, which allows unlimited field events and only three running events.

               This meet included a near perfect team participation as we had thirty-four (34) of thirty-nine (39) athletes competed, therefore, we a multitude personal best. Freshman Jake Oster and Senior Brittany Dekine collected three each. Senior Keith Born, Junior Adeyemi Ojumu, Sophomores Robert Chan, Noah Ryan and Bryan Clark, Freshmen Benjman Yazman, Heather Le, Oluyemisi Ojumu and Elizabeth Monroe collected two each. Freshmen Kathryn Fay and Tanya Khandpur each had only one personal best, however they were memorable. Fay dipped under the magical fifty (50) second barrier in the 300m (48.74) dash after she was challenged to hold on to her spot on the relay team. Khandpur had to recover from a nasty fall at the start of 1000m run, however she was able to restart the race and shaved an incredible seventeen (17) seconds off her personal best.

               Next week the team will be split as a majority of the team will compete on Friday, January 16^th at Thomas Jefferson Middle School. Five members of the girl's team will travel to New York to compete at the Stanner Games on Saturday, January 17^th.

Athletes end the year on a good note.

While most student-athletes were home enjoying the morning after Christmas or visiting grandma and grandpa, the Statesman track and field team got up at 10am to make it to practice. Their hard work and dedication paid off with three athletes earning championship qualifiers and nine achieving personal best. They were led by Freshman Sprinter Jacqueline Hargrove who grabbed 5^th in the 300m dash with a Northern Virginia championship automatic qualifying time of 42.71. She missed adding another regional qualifier in the 55m dash (7.73) by 0.03 but did obtain a Liberty District championship mark. For good measure, Hargrove also surpassed the District mark in the Long jump competition (14ft 6.5in).

Sophomore Jumper/sprinter Theo Robinson after going out the first two meets above the Liberty District mark (5ft 7in) finally had the bar at the exact height (5ft 6in) and cleared it to book him place to the championship. Robinson achieved a personal best (37ft 5.5in) in the triple jump but missed out on the District standard by less than a foot.

Fellow Sophomore Sprinter Joel Ryan had to make a classic comeback from the tight lane one to win him heat, achieved a personal best (39.53) and secure his place to the District championship in the 300m dash.

Running on a very fast track and using spikes for the first time this season, nine of the ten athletes who competed at the meet achieved personal best. Junior jumper/sprinter Adeyemi Ojumu used this meet to his advantage and achieved personal best in 3 of 4 events competed and freshman sprinter/hurdler Gina Cappiello missed the District mark in the 300m dash by less than a quarter of a second. Junior distance runner Shokoufeh Dianat achieved her in the 1000m run, freshman sprinter/hurdler Kathryn Fay in the 500m dash, freshman sprinter Kevin Gollogley in the 500m dash and freshman sprinter Oluyemisi Ojumu in the 55m dash.

Overall the athletes got a good preview of the venue where the Liberty District Championship will be held in February 2004 and they used the experience very well.
The next meet will be January 10^th, 2004 at Episcopal High School @ 7:15am.

Girl's team showed off their Christmas spirit.

             Either the Girl's team was in a hurry to bring on the Christmas cheers or they were mad at the coach for making them run while everyone had already started their vacation. If, it was the latter, Im happy they didnt take it out on me, but they sure let the competition knew how they felt about it.

            Freshman Jacqueline Hargrove set the tone in the 4x200m relay team by showing that last week was no surprise. She burst to the lead from the gun leaving the other teams in her shadow. When she handed off the baton to Freshman Gina Cappiello, the team had a ten meter lead. Cappiello provided the perfect one, two punch as she kept the lead going. Senior leadership in the form of Angela Carrato kept the teams rolling in the lead where an anxious Freshman Kathryn Fay waited for the baton. When Fay got the baton she had to some work to do because chasing her was two Liberty District Regional representatives. It seems that fact only mattered to the coach because Fay didnt show any care as she ran away from them to the win. Their time of 1:57.84 was the fast time in four years at Marshall High School.

            The Quartet returned later in the meet to provide another brilliant performance in producing another four year best in the 4x400m relay. The time of 4:30.54 shattered the pervious best by over half a minute. Hargrove and Cappiello ran master pieces for the first two legs as they kept the half of the region at bay. The biggest school final caught up with us as Carrato running the longer distance for the first time fought them off for the first of two laps. Fay put in some strong work and pulled the team into the fastest time under this coaching regime.

            In the individual events, Hargrove continued her strong performance by running away from the 2003 Liberty District 400m Champion who was a super freshman from last year, Fairfax Jessica Dailey in the 300m dash. Her performance improved on the Liberty Qualifying time from last week by a second (45.04 to 44.04). Hargrove also showed her versatile by winning the Long Jump competition in 14ft 2.25in and placing second in the high jump (4ft 4in). Cappiello (11.14) and Fay (11.34) continued to improve in the 55m hurdles in producing personal best for a second straight week.

            On the boy side, Sophomore Theo Robinson has some wonderful around performances by scoring in 2 of 4 events entered. He placed 3^rd in the triple jump with a winter personal best of 35ft 11in and tied his personal best with a 4^th place in the high jump (5ft 5in). Junior Devin Mawdsley competing for the first time this season, scored in two events. He had personal best in the long jump in placing 6^th (16ft 10in) and the 300m dash in finishing 5^th with a time of 41.24. Junior Alex Finnell knocked over three seconds off his 1000m best in placing 5^th (3:07.54). Also, for the first time in four years, we had three competitors in the boy's 55m hurdles (Junior Nathan Reinhag and Freshmen Hunter Smith and Benjman Yazman).

            Other outstanding performances, Senior Shokoufeh Dianat dropped ten seconds off her personal best in the 1000m run, Sophomore Joel Ryan had a personal best in placing 5^th in the 300m dash (40.84), Freshman Heather Le (1:39.44) and Junior Alyssa Mesich (1:39.74) has personal best in placing 5^th & 6^th, respectively in the 500m dash.

            Majority of the team will be off for the Christmas break however a selected few will be competing at the Friends of Indoor Track Invitational schedule to take place on Monday December 29^th, 2003 at Prince Georges Sports and Learning Complex in Landover, Maryland. The meet starts at 9am.

Hargrove lead team with three automatic District Qualifier.

Freshman Sprinter Jacqueline Hargrove running in her first indoor meet of her career made it a memorable one by automatically qualifying for the Liberty District Championship. Hargrove when three for three in each individual events she competed. In her first event the high jump, Hargrove cleared 4ft 7in to equal the District mark. The 500 meters dash was no contest as she dominated the field from start and easily dipped under District mark with a time of 1:27.24. Expectations were high after her performance in the 300 meters dash and Hargrove did not disappoint as she blaze by the field in a time of 45.04. The field had no chance and it gave Hargrove sometime to turn her head to admire her competition from the driver seat. She was also the lead off leg on the 3^rd place 4x200m relay time.

Senior Doug Shapiro, Sophomore Theo Robinson and Freshman Gina Cappiello all narrowly missed qualifying for District in their respective events. Shapiro running the 500 meters dash for first in his career ran 1:14.74 and missed the mark by one second. Robinson had the high jump bar riddle off on his final attempt at 5ft 7in, however he came a way with a personal best of 5ft 5in. Robinson was second on the team in the 55m dash in a personal best 7.64. Cappiello had the nervous and unfortunate task of trying an event for the first time and running the same events as her teammate Hargrove. The nervousness in the hurdles and the competition in the 300 meters dash did not distract her in the end and she performed wonderfully. She missed qualifying for District in the hurdles by less than a second (11.24 to 10.64) and the dash little over a second (47.74 to 46.52). Cappiello was also the second leg on the 4x200m relay team. Senior Angela Carrato, Junior Johanna Dunlap and Freshman Elizabeth Monroe also missed qualifying for District by less than a second in the 55 meters dash. Carrato was the teams top finisher (8.44), Monroe was second in 8.54 and Dunlap was third in a time of 8.64. Sophomore Bryan Clark shaved almost a half a second on his personal best with a 7.84 showing in the 55m dash.

Sophomore transfer Joel Ryan running in his first Indoor meet easily won both his heats of the 500 meters (1:16.94) and the 300 meters (41.54) dash. He was also the lead off leg in the second place 4x200m relay. Like Ryan, Junior transfer Yemi Ojumu was in his first indoor meet and he also won his heats in the 300m (43.54) and 500m (1:18.64). Freshman Jake Oster was the top finisher in 55m (7.44), 3^rd team finisher in the 300m dash (44.14) and the anchor leg on the 4x200m relay.

Overall the team did very well considering that we had a very young and in experience team of fifteen (15) freshman, six (6) sophomores, juniors and seniors each of which most are competing for the very first time. If, the first meet is any indication of the season, it could be very special. We need to continue working hard and keep on believing in ourselves. Congratulations to everyone on a very successful beginning to the season.

I would like to thank the parents for their support especially with the timing of the meet. Also, thanks to the coaches for all their time and effort in getting the student-athletes ready to compete.
Next track meet is schedule for December 20^th, 2003 at 7:15am at Episcopal High School.

Harper brings spring competition to a speedy end

            Sophomore middle distance runner Justin Harper competing in his first regional championship set a personal best in the 800m run. His time of 2:04.97 lowered his pervious best by over 3 second. Harper was the last of 4 athletes to compete at the championship however he ended the season on a very high note.

            Seniors Micah Peterson and Jalen Boone saw their high school track and field career come to an end at the champions. Peterson competed in the 200m dash (23.67) and Boone in the shot up (29ft 1in) and the discus (92ft 4in). Also, competing was Junior Adam Burch in the discus competition. He threw 101ft 1in and looks forward to next year.

            Senior Tim Silver did not compete due to injuries.

In the End, the wait was worth it.

--Silver wins second title

Senior Tim Silver had to wait two days to win his second title. The Liberty District championship was schedule for two days however, due to lighting on the second day the meet was forced to continue on Thursday. Discus champion Tim Silver was leading the shot put competition when the meet was delayed, the weather did not get much better on the third day, however it didnt make any difference. Silver defeated the competition and concluded his high school career a champion. Normally, the District champion automatically advance to the Regional championship, however due injuries to his shoulder which requires minor surgery, Silver will not be able to compete.

Senior Jalen Boone for the second year will be competing in two events at the Regional championships. Boone earned the chance to advance to the state championship with her 3^rd place finish in the Discus competition. Like Silver, Boone had to wait 48 hours to complete the competition.

On the rainy track, sophomore middle distance runner Justin Harper made a mad charge to the finish line to earn his trip to the Regional championship. Harper was trailing the lead group in seventh spot with one hundred and fifty meters to go in the race. He then turned on the after burner and didnt stop until he had passed the finish line and the in the process overtaking two lead runners.

For Senior Micah Peterson, the 200 meters dash final was a formality, finish the race and you advance to the Regional championship. Peterson wasnt going to be satisfied with just making it to the next round, he want to win. Coming off the turn he was in 6^th place, he tried to run the field down, however, he ran out of real estate and could only pass one runner.

The boys relay team provided some excitement within all the rain and caused us to think, what if? The 4x400m relay team finished one place from advancing to the Regional championship. Senior Charles Hixon running his last race at District did not want it to end just yet. Hixon running the lead off leg from lane one took off like a drag racer and handed the baton off to sophomore Brandon Wallace in first place. Wallace in his first year running track and in the lead did what came naturally (run fast) and held off the pack for three hundred meets. A bad handle off between Wallace and freshman Robert Chan had the team sitting in fourth place against some of the best runners in the district. Even though Chan held his own, Senior Micah Peterson could not make up the necessary ground to pull the team into the third spot.

The 4x100m relay team (Sophomore Steven Friend, Wallace, Freshman Theo Robinson and Senior Sheldon Manners) won their heat to finish 5^th. The Girls 4x400m relay team (Sophomore Johanna Dunlap, Freshman Filla Sofia Baliwag, Anna Choi, and Senior Christina Friend) placed 6^th and broke the five minutes barrier.

There were two unfortunate occurrences of the championships; Sophomore Athar Admad missed the final and his chance to advance to the Regional in the Boys Triple Jump due to coachs error. Believing that his mark would not qualify him for the finals, I informed him (when asked) that he did not have to come to the meet on the make up day. With no results posted due to the cancellation on Wednesday, I assumed, instead of checking to see if his mark had made the finals. This will never happen again and I would like to apologize to Mr. Admad.

Senior Sheldon Manners came in ranked tied for 1^st in the high jump. Not expecting the meet to be cancelled on Wednesday, he had schedule an appointment for Thursday. Believing he had more time, he kept his appointment, however, he missed his chance to complete the High Jump competition. His entry mark won the competition.

Overall the Boys finished 6^th place with 35 points and the girls placed 7^th with 11 points.

Silver goes out as CHAMPION.

Senior thrower and 2002 State Finalist Tim Silver knew that the Liberty District championship was going to be his last meet and he wanted to make sure everyone remember him as only one thing, Champion. W.T. Woodson Senior Tim Wacek had the same idea, however, Silver had traditional on his side. For the last seven years, you can count on one thing at the Liberty District championships Marshall will dominate the throwing events. Silver did not want to break that traditional, however, Wacek wasnt making it easy. Going into the finals, Silver was pushed to second on Wacek final throw of the preliminaries. On the second throw of the finals, Silver showed that this was his event. Wacek showed he had some left and took back the lead on his next throw. However, Silver with a heart of champion and Statesmen Pride on his back put the competition out of reach with his winning throw of 136ft 9in. Junior Adam Burch put himself in line to continue the tradition next year with his fourth place finish throw of 109ft 5in.

Senior Thrower and 2003 District Runner Jalen Boone had some difficulties trying to punch her ticket to the Regional championship. After fouling her first two of three throws in the shot put competition, Boone took a safety throw to get into the finals. She had one really good attempt that would have won the competition; however, it was called a foul by the official. Her last throw even though it was good could not improve on her 4^th place finish from last year. Sophomore Kaitlyn Johnson finished one spot out of the finals.

On the track, Senior Micah Peterson qualified for the 200m finals with a lifetime best of 23.38. He missed making the finals of his second event the 400m dash by 0.05. Fellow senior Charles Hixon qualified for the semi-finals in both the 100m and 200m dash however, he did not qualify for the finals. Senior Sheldon Manner ran lifetime best in the 100m and 200m, he made the semi-finals of the short disciple. Sophomore Brandon Wallace also made the semi-finals of the 100m dash with a personal best. The 4x800m relay team of freshman Robert Chan, Sophomores Mike Eckard, Alex Finnell and Justin Harper finished one place out of regional qualifier for the second year in a row.

On the womens side, Freshman Filla Sophia Baliwag ran a lifetime best in the 400m dash but missed the finals.

Seniors Micah Peterson and Charles Hixon can now say they've run at the oldest and best track and field meet in the World. The seniors along with Sophomore Brandon Wallace and Freshman Theo Robinson accomplished that feat when they became the first team in three years to compete at the historical 109th running of the Penn Relays. The early morning rain did bring some uncertainty to a memorable performances, however when it was all said and done, you were at the Penn Relays. The team ran 3:45.83 in the early morning rains and had to deal with some slipping and juggling for position.

All in all it was a wonderful meet as the crowd of over 35,000 was treated to some exciting races from the collegiate, high school and Olympic Development athletes such as Gale Devers (American record holder and Olympic Champion) and Tim Montgomery (world 100m record holder).

Friend led team after break.

Sophomore Jumper/Sprinter Steven Friend led the team to a very good showing at the first meet since the spring break. Friend showed no sign of a layoff as he won two events (High Jump and Long Jump), took second in the Triple jump behind teammate Junior Keith Born and placed third in the 200m dash with a personal best. Born and Friend led the group of young jumpers to the top four spots in the High, Long and Triple Jump.

Senior Tim Silver continued his supremacy in the Discus throw winning by over 20 feet. Junior Adam Burch took third and Senior Jack Allison placed sixth in the event. Silver placed second in the Shot competition with Allison and Burch finishing, third and sixth, respectively.

On the girl side, Senior Jalen Boone won the shot put competition and defeated the Indoor District Shot Champion with a personal best. Sophomore Kaitlyn Johnson placed third in the event. Boone had to select for second in the Discus event have fouling her first two throws, Johnson scored again with her fourth place finish.

One the track, Senior Micah Peterson chalked up another tri-meet win in the 100m dash with Sophomore Brandon Wallace and Senior Charles Hixon placing third and fourth respectively. The trio along with Freshman Theo Robinson came back to run a hard fought 4x400m relay against Robert E. Lee. Sophomore Justin Harper grab third place in the 800m dash.

Hixon highlights pre-spring break meet.

The season finally felt like spring at the 4^th Annual Allen Johnson Classic and senior Sprinter Charles Hixon took advantage of the beautiful weather to produce two Liberty District Automatic Qualifier. While most of the team was missing due to the start of Spring break, Hixon felt he could wait one more day for his beginning. Instead, he used the nice weather and new track at Lake Braddock High School to place 15^th in the 100m in a personal best 11.91. Hixon came back in the 200m and again lower his personal best to 23.94, he also produce a personal best 54.1 as the lead off leg on the 4x400m relay.

Fellow Senior Tim Silver missed his signature event, the discus because he had to take the ACT, however, he made it in time for the shot put competition. Although, his mark of 42ft 4.5in was well below his personal best, it was good enough for a Liberty District Automatic Qualifier.

Overall, the team performed very well considering that their minds were on sleeping late, watching long hours of television, mowing the lawn and visiting the malls.

Also, once complete results are available from the Langley tri-meet and Nike Northern Virginia Invitational, I will post the results.

Have a good Spring Break.

Spring season began with a bang in the sky.

The start of the 2003 spring track and field season was filled with a mixture of rain and thunder and ended with bright sunshine and lighting. Senior and 2002 State Discus finalist Tim Silver began his return campaign to the championship with an automatic Northern VA Regional qualifier. Silver had to battle the cold and the presence of the State Champion, however he did not let the elements get to him and registered an impressive first mark of the season of 139ft 5in. Junior Adam Burch competing in his first invitational missed his personal best by 3 feet with his throw of 101ft 6in. Their combine score of 240ft 11in was good for 4^th in the meet.

The runners had to wait until Saturday to begin their season, however nature did not extent a pleasant welcome blanket as the morning of filled with on and off rainfall. However when the rain cleared, the team showed they were up to the challenge. Benefiting most from the bright sunshine was the Boys 4x400m relay. The team of Seniors Micah Peterson and Charles Hixon joined with Sophomores Brandon Wallace and Justin Harper to run the fastest time in 3 seasons. Senior Micah Peterson led off with a 52.1 to pull the team to 3:39.84.

Looking to the future, the Freshman/Sophomore 4x400m team showed that theyre waiting and ready with each member averaging nearly a 60 seconds to finish in 4:02.64. The team was made up of Sophomores Steven Friend, Mike Eckard, Athar Ahmad and Freshman Theo Robinson.

Overall the team performed very well for their first meet of the season despite the weather and their nervous. Look for better performances next week at the Tri-meet @ Langley and the Northern Virginia Invitational.

Dream Weaver
Marshall track standout shines at national meet.
By Greg Wyshynski

Vienna/Oakton Connection
March 21, 2003

After strong showings in the Northern Region and Virginia AAA indoor track finals, would Marshall's Anthony Weaver have enough left for the NIKE Indoor Championships?
"You can't hold your peak for more than a couple of weeks," said Lake Braddock coach Bob Digby. "You just hope you have something left in your tank [at nationals]."
Weaver showed his needle wasn't quite yet on empty. The Marshall junior was fifth in the boys 400-meter-run championship at Prince George's Sports and Learning Complex in Landover, Md.
He had been ranked 39th overall heading into preliminaries. Marshall coach Cliff Wong, who called Weaver's performance "pretty incredible," said that was a by-product of not having run the 400- or 200-meter races since early in the season.
Weaver finished in 49.93 seconds in the preliminaries, advancing as the fifth-place runner out of the top six.
In Saturday's finals, he was fifth overall in 49.97. DeSean Cunningham of San Diego was first overall at 48.56.
Weaver barely missed making the boys 200-meter-dash finals, as he placed seventh overall in the preliminary race. Weaver finished at 22.44, barely edged by Wallace Spearmon Jr., of Fayetteville, Ark. Spearmon crossed at 22.37.
While some have labeled Weaver as a surprise this season, Wong said it was just a matter of getting the talented runner with the right competition.
"We just didn't have that many big invitationals," he said.

Weaver Emerges

Marshall junior Anthony Weaver finished his rookie track season as an all-American, placing fifth in Sunday's 400-meter dash in 49.97, just one-hundredth of a second out of fourth.

Marshall, the Liberty District champion in the 500 (1:09.23), was the youngest sprinter in the finals and had run in very few big meets before the Nike Indoor Championships.

That inexperience ultimately cost him against such nationally ranked talent as California's DeSean Cunningham and Pennsylvania's Drew Eckman, who finished first (48.56) and second (48.68), respectively.

"These guys have been running longer and I was in lane two, so I had to fight a little more," Weaver said. "On the last lap, when everyone had to merge, I didn't have anything left in my tank. But it was kind of great to make it this far."

Weaver missed making the six-runner final in the 200 by less than a tenth of a second, placing seventh overall (22.44) in Saturday's trial heats.

Marshall Coach Clifford Wong, a 1995 graduate of Forestville High in Prince George's County, quickly recognized Weaver's raw talent when Weaver transferred to Marshall in the late fall from Parkdale, another Prince George's school.

Wong also could relate to running for a small, virtually unknown program.

"He has a lot of heart and works so hard, but we hadn't gotten to showcase what he can do," Wong said. "When we ran against the big boys, they were shocked."

Weaver selected to All-American Team

Junior Sprinter Anthony Weaver concluded his wonderful indoor season at the Nike Classic National High School Championship with a fifth
(5th) place finish in the 400m dash finals. His time of 49.97 came at a price as he was bumped and spiked in the finals by another runner. However, they could not take away from a wonderful season which concluded with All-American honors.

Weaver will now rest up for a week and then get back on the track to begin the outdoor season.
Again, Congrats to Anthony Weaver.

Weaver keeps stunning rivals for Marshall
Vienna-Oakaton Connection By Greg Wyshynski
March 6, 2003

MARSHALLS ANTHONY Weaver didnt run the hurdles. But he had more than a few obstacles to clear before running at states last weekend.
First came an injury, as Weaver felt soreness in his left calf. School trainers told him to put heat on it.
Then there was a sudden illness, which lingered for most of the week after regionals.
Finally, there was more snow late last week to further interrupt an already truncated training regimen for the Marshall mid-distance runner.
That didnt stop Weaver from shining at states, taking third in the 300-meter dash at 35.46 seconds and fifth in the 500-meter dash at 1 minute, 6.03 seconds.
In the 300, Weaver said he had to quickly change his strategy.
Its kind of weird because my coach said I had Lane 1, but then he checked again and I had Lane 6, he said.
In the 500, Weaver repeated his feat from regionals: topping runners in the fastest heat by posting a blazing time in the second-fastest heat.
All told, Weaver said hed rather face the fastest there is.
Running against better competition makes me fight more, he said.

Vienna-Oakaton Connection by By Greg Wyshynski

IT'S COMMON IN regional races to focus on the fastest heats, where most of the top talent is running against each other.
Not for Marshall, however.
The Statesmen's Anthony Weaver blazed through two lower-seeded heats, twice earning faster finishing times than the more heralded runners in the fast heat.
In the 500-meter-dash finals, Weaver ran a 1:06.44 out of the second-fastest heat. That time was 0.10 better than Kennedy Kyei-Mensah of T.C. Williams, who was second in the fast heat. Timothy Nunn of T.C. Williams was first in 1:06.34.
Weaver pulled the same trick in the 300-meter-dash finals. His time of 35.62 seconds in the second-fastest heat was better than Travis Parker of Robinson (36.00), who was second in the fast heat. The Marshall junior was second only to Steve Gillard of Herndon (35.49).
Also strong for Marshall was Tim Silver in the boys shot-put finals. The senior took fourth in the region with a toss of 47-05.50. Robinson star Steve Huntzinger broke a 27-year-old meet record with a throw of 60-09.50. Edison graduate Phil Vincenzes had previously set the mark in 1976 with a throw of 60-05.25.
"He's got 65 [feet] in him. Its just a matter if he has the speed," said Robinson coach Zack Scott, whose protégé broke the oldest existing record in the region Saturday.

Junior Anthony Weaver and Senior Tim Silver qualified for the Virginia AAA State Championship. Weaver qualified in the 300m and 500m dash and Silver in the Shot Put.

In both events, Weaver missed becoming the Northern VA Regional Champion by one place. In the 500m dash, he narrowly missed the title by 0.10 seconds (1:06.34 to 1:06.44). His time was a personal best and state automatic qualifying 1:06.44.

Silver will make his first trip to the Indoor State Championship after competing and making the finals in the Outdoor Championship Discus last year. Silver is hoping for a repeat of his outdoor performance when he came in ranked 20th and made the Discus finals.

Silver missed picking up the bronze medal by one place. Going to the final throw, he was ranked 3rd. However, he was passed by the thrower from Mt. Vernon. He finished 4th and automatically qualified for the State Championship. Senior Jack Allison competing in his first Regional Championship, finished 18^th with his second best career mark of 40ft 4.75in.

Under the watchful eyes of Coach Joe Swarm, Senior Tim Silver dominated the Boy's Shot put competition from the very first throw.

Joining Silver at the championship will be fellow Senior Jack Allison who placed 5th in the competiton with a personal best throw of 41ft 4.75in.

Also compete on Tuesday were Senior Thomas Grattan, Junior Keith Born, Sophomore Steven Friend and Freshman Theo Robinson. These athletes competed well, however they were not able to advance to the regional championship.

Thanks to Coach Swarm and Coach Robinson for their help.

The Boy's team was very impressive and came within 4 points of winning their first Quad meet in three years. They lost to Mt. Vernon by a score of 49 to 45. They were led by Juniors Anthony Weaver, Doug Shapiro, Sophomore Steven Friend and the two relay team. Weaver running in his first meet of the season won the 500m dash in a Liberty District Qualifier. He was also the lead off leg on the two winning sprint relay teams. Shapiro continued his wonderful early season performances by lowering his personal best in winning the 1000m in a Liberty District Qualifier and taking second in the 1600m run. Sophomore Steven Friend competed in his first career indoor meet and went on to win the Long Jump competition.

The Girl's team competing for the first time together place three runners in the top five of 1000m and 1600m run. Senior Liz Tran led the group by winning the 1000m and finishing 3rd in the 1600m.

Congrats to everyone and I'm looking forward to the New Year.

Select members of the team will be competing at the Metro Run & Walk
Holiday Invitational on Dec. 28th, 2002.

Culbreath gains All-State Honors

Senior Captain Carissa Culbreath closed out her high school career in grand fashion by gaining All-Virginia AAA State Honors in Richmond on Friday, May 31st, 2002. Culbreath accomplished this honor by moving up nine spots from 15th to finish 6th in the Women's Discus competition in a personal best 117ft 9in. Carissa used her experience from last year when she finished 12th to better prepared herself and it worked out perfectly. The shot put competition was not as successful as Culbreath would have liked and finished 22nd with throw of 32ft 7in. One the Boy's side Junior Tim Silver made sure his first state championship would be memorable as he threw a personal best 145ft 0in to made the final of the Discus Competition. He missed All-State Honors by one place as he finished 9th but it was a wonderful experience. Silver came into the competition ranked 20th and he moved up an amazing eleven places to make the finals. Senior Chris Barham had high hopes coming into the State Competition after a wonderful Regional meet. However, he would not accomplish his goal of gaining All-State Honors in his last high school competition. After missing the Discus final by two places, Barham tried to make up for it in the Shot Put competition, however this was not to be his day as he fouled on all three of his throw. Thus, missing the finals. I would also like to say congratulations and thank you to Coach Joe Swarm on a wonderful job. Thanks for everything you've done to this season to bring out the best in our student-athletes. It was a wonderful season for both the Girls and Boys team. Congratulations to everyone and thanks for making this season a wonderful time. Look forward to seeing everyone at the Awards Night on Tuesday, June 4th, 2002.

Barham & Culbreath made it two for two.

Seniors Chris Barham and Carissa Culbreath qualified for their second events for the Virginia AAA State Championship. Barham qualified in the Shot Put with a personal best 52ft 11.5in in taking third place.

Culbreath joined Chris with her sixth place finish (113ft 8in) in the Discus event. This is second year in a row that Culbreath has qualified in two events and the first time of Barham who made the trip to Richmond last year in the Shot Put only. They will be looking to improve on their top 15 finishes last year when the events starts on Friday, May 31st.

Barham's 2nd & 3rd along with Junior Tim Silver's 6th place finish, netted the Boy's team 15 points. It was good enough to place the Statesmen 15th overall and 2nd to District Champion Langley who could only muster one more point (16). It was a victory for us considering that we lost the Liberty District title by over 100 points. Our total was good enough to out score the rest of the Liberty District except Langley by a 5 to 1 margin. The only other school to score was Fairfax with 3 points.

The girl's team also finished 2nd in the District score with 3 points and a 17th overall. Only District runner up, James Madison out scored us by 6 points. We defeated Liberty District Champion Langley High School by 3 to 0 margin, even though they crushed us by over 100 points at Districts. Fairfax again was the only other District School to score with 1 point.

Also, competing at the Regional Championship was Junior Sara Hoffman who concluded her season with a 21st (2:52.14) place finish in the 800m run. The 4x800m team of (Hoffman, Junior Liz Tran, Junior Lara Simonton, Sophomore Beth Stein) improved their seasonal best by 2 seconds and finished 13th with a time of 10:37.32. Stein came back an hour later and took 13th in the 1600m run with a time of 5:45.96.

Both Tim Silver and Jalen Boone were trying to qualify for the State Championship in the second of two events. Silver had already secured his trip to Richmond and Boone was trying to join Culbreath as the second woman to the championship. Tim had a personal best by over one
and half feet in the Shot Put, however his throw of 45ft 6in was only good enough for 10th place. Boone could not improve on her personal best from Districts and finished 16th with her best throw of 74ft 3in.

Sophomore Doug Shapiro improved his seasonal best by seven seconds to finish 14th with his time of 4:40.46.

Congrats to everyone on a wonderful season and good luck to Chris, Carissa and Tim at the State Championship.

Barham, Culbreath & Silver qualified for States

Senior Chris Barham rebound from an unhappy Liberty District Championship by taking second in the Northern VA Regional Discus Championship. On his final throw of the finals, Barham jumped up two spots with a personal best throw of 148ft 5in. Junior and District Runner-up Tim Silver continued to improve on his wonderful season by
taking the 6th and final spot in the competition with a toss of 138ft 1in. Liberty District Champion A.J. Wallace did not make the finals with his throw of 122ft to place 14th.

Liberty District Shot Put Champion Carissa Culbreath also needed a personal best of 35ft 10.5in to secure her second consecutive trip to Richmond. On her third and final throw of the trials, Culbreath stood in 8th place and needed a big throw to make the finals. She did not disappoint as she jumped up to 4th place with her personal best.
All-District Shot Putters Jalen Boone and Freshman Kaitlyn Johnson did not advance to the State meet, however they did improve on their personal best. Boone (29ft 1.5in) dropped a foot and Johnson (28ft 6.75in) chopped off nearly two feet to finish 15th & 16th, respectively.

All-District Junior Sprinter Micah Peterson ran close to his personal best in both the 100m (11.81) and 200m (23.79) dash. However, he did not advance to the final schedule for today.

Girl Discus, Boys Shot Put, Girls 4x800m Relay, Girls 1600m, Boys 1600m and Girls 800m will be conducted today starting at 4pm.

Congrats to Chris Barham, Carissa Culbreath and Tim Silver.

Culbreath repeats Champion, Thirteen qualifies for Regional

Senior Captain Carissa Culbreath continued her domination of the throwing event by destroying the discus field by 29 feet. Culbreath defended her discus title by automatically qualifying for the Virginia AAA State Championship with her first throw in the competition. Her throw of 116 feet put the competition out of reach and left everyone to battle for second. For a moment that position
belong to Junior teammate Jalen Boone however she had to settle for third when a Langley thrower over took her on the final throw.
Boone's throw of 85ft 4in was a personal best and it qualified her to join Culbreath in both throwing events at the Northern Virginia Regional Championship.

In the Men's throwing event, Senior Chris Barham had his storybook finish from last year adapted by his Langley competitor. Last year, Barham sat in second place and needed his sixth and final throw to win the competition. This year, his Langley competitor was in same position and it was Barham who was left to wonder, as he had to take
second after fouling four of his sixth throws. Marshall and Langley again dominated this event as they split the top four places. Barham was 2nd and Junior Tim Silver placed 4th, they qualified to compete in both throwing events at the Regional Championship.

Successful advancement to Regional on the track depended on what side of the bed we woke up on Thursday. Most of our athletes came into the meet ranked in the middle or sitting on the fence and little bit of luck and a lot of hard work would determine failing or succeeding.

Junior Sprinter Micah Peterson knew he was going to the Northern Virginia Regional Championship when he qualified for the finals in the 100m and 200m dash on Wednesday. However, he had been to the finals last year and would not be satisfied with just a place finish.
He wanted to improve on his fifth place finish from last year and this year his chances were doubled. The 100m finals would provide instant improvement with his 4th place finish with a time of 11.72.
The 200m final were next and he wanted to improve on his 4th place finish. After falling behind on the turn, Peterson would run a great straight and pull himself into the bronze medal position with a time of 23.68.

The Girls 4x800m team came into the meet ranked 4th and sitting one spot out of the Regional Championship. They knew there was much work to do. Junior Liz Tran led off with a personal best split of 2:38.0 to put team in third position and the place they need to be. Junior Lara Simonton coming back for her second meet in three weeks ran an impressive 2:41.0 and handle the stick off in a close fourth with W.T. Woodson. Sophomore Beth Stein a.k.a. the Closer wasted no time as she overtook Woodson and extended the third place lead to over 50 meters with a personal best 2:38.0. Anchor leg Junior Sara Hoffmann
capitalized on teammates success and extended the lead with a sizzling 1:14.0 first lap. She would coast the last lap and finish with a 2:41.0 for a team time of 10:39.98. Most importantly, they finished third, qualified for the Regional Championship and dropped 17 seconds off their best time.

Stein and Hoffmann was not finish for the day as they looked to take care of individual goals. Stein came in ranked number 6th in the 1600m run, however she knew her capabilities were far beyond the rankings. After running in the middle of the pack for most of the race, on the third lap she began picking runner off one by one. On
the final lap, she picked off two runners to place 4th with a personal best 5:41.37.
Hoffmann like Stein ran with the pack for most of the race in the 800m run. She was content to let them do most of the work running the first lap in 1:16.0. Beginning of the second and final lap, she went to work and when it was all said and done, Hoffmann had placed 6th with a personal best of 2:34.28. For Hoffmann and Stein, their success was produced from hard work and motivation from disappointment during the Indoor and last year championship.

Last year the buzz after the 1600m final was, Who is the new kid from Marshall? Everyone was referring to freshman sensation Doug Shapiro. This year, Shapiro again came into the championship un-noticed after starting the track season late. He also ran different this year, after leading the race from the gun the pervious year, Shapiro let everyone else do his dirty work this year. Like Hoffmann and Stein, he stayed with the pack and with one lap to go, started running like a sprinter passing four runners and taking the 6th and final spot with a time of 4:52.28.

Like pervious years, we had some narrow misses. Junior Liz Tran placed 7th in the 1600m, one spot out of the regional championship, the boys 4x800m team (Fr. Justin Harper, Sr. Jorge Mendoza, Fr. Mike Eckard, Soph. Doug Shapiro) finished 4th with a seasonal best of 8:50.34.

The true success of the meet for us was the team standings. At one point during the meet the Boys and the Girls were ranked 3rd and 4th, respectively, we simply run out of athletes to match the other schools. Overall the Boys finished tied with Lee for 5th with 50 points and the Girls finished 6th with 41 points.

Congratulations to everyone on a wonderful season. Good luck to the thirteen athletes competing at Regional schedule for May 23 24th, 2002 @ Thomas Jefferson HS.

Culbreath & Wallace crowned District Champions

On the first day of the 2002 Liberty District Championship, the Statesmen continued their dominance in the throwing events by winning the Women's Shot Put and the Men's Discus throw.

Led by 2001 Champion and Senior Captain Carissa Culbreath, the Stateswomen placed three in the top six position. Culbreath won her second Shot Put title and was followed by Junior Jalen Boone (4th) and Freshman Katiyln Johnson (6th). All three throwers automatically qualified for the Northern Virginia Regional Championship set for next Thursday and Friday.

Marshall came into the Boys Discus event with the top three ranked throwers and they had the field by 10 feet. Ranking coming into the event was Senior Chris Barham, Junior Tim Silver and Senior A.J. Wallace. Expected to dominate the competition, they did as expected.
However, they was an upset ask A.J. Wallace reversed the order on 2001 Runner Chris Barham and 2001 Regional Qualifier Tim Silver.
Setting a personal best on his last throw of 148 feet, Wallace won the competition by 8 feet. Silver finished second and Barham placed third, all three will be competing at the Regional Championship.

In the running events, 2001 Regional Qualifier Micah Peterson placed himself in the position to repeat that accomplishment by qualifying for the finals in the 100m & 200m dash. The finals will be run today, Thursday.

Other athletes competing on the track and the long jump achieved personal best, however did not qualify for the finals.

The team will be competing today starting at 4:30pm.

The Streak Continues.......

Senior Captains Chris Barham and Carissa Culbreath continued a long Marshall tradition by winning their respective events on the second day of the Liberty District Indoor Championship. Their wins in the Shot Put competition marks the sixth year in a row, Marshall has won this competition.

Chris Barham pick up where he left off last season by dominating the Boy's Shot Put competition. This is Barham's second straight Indoor District title. His automatic regional qualifying throw of 48ft 11in outdistanced the competition by over two feet. At one point it looked to be a Statesmen sweep of the top two spots with Junior Tim Silver, however one Langley thrower split the pair with his last throw. Silver's third place finish and regional qualifier makes the outlook for a seventh straight championship very possible.

Carissa Culbreath continued her stead climb up to her first championship. After finishing, 6th, 3rd and 2nd in pervious years, she wanted to make this year to number one. Culbreath knew the competition would be tough because only three inches separated the top two spots coming into the meet. However, when the competition began she showed why the number one spot belong to her. She wasted no time in putting the competition away with an outstanding throw of 35ft 1in. The competition never got closer than three feet and Culbreath completed her last Indoor Liberty District Championship as "the Champion."

The trio now awaits teammates competing on Friday to see who will accompany them to the Northern VA Championship in two weeks.

Congratulations to Chris, Tim and Carissa and good luck to members competing on Friday.

Dec. 15, 2001 F.I.T Relays

Tuesday Dec. 18, 2001.

Competing in their first Indoor invitation in two seasons, the Marshall Statesmen showed that they can jump with the best that the DC Metro Area can offer up. The Friends of Indoor Track (F.I.T) Relays brought together a total of 75 schools from Washington, D.C., Maryland and Virginia to George Mason University field house to battle in what is each year becoming one of the most popular and biggest indoor meets in the area.

Led by top five finishes from Senior Captains Chris Barham and Carissa Culbreath, the Statesmen were well-represented amount the crowd of competitors. Barham led the way with his automatic Northern VA Regional qualifying mark of 47 feet 7.75 inches. After narrowly missing the regional qualifier by one inch in the first meet, Barham left no doubt that he belongs in the season ending championship. There was only one disappointment for Barham; he did not defeat his archrival Steve Huntzinger of Robinson.

Senior Carissa Culbreath continued her wonderful season by again automatically qualifying for the N. Virginia Regional championships by placing 5th with a throw of 33ft 11in.

Even though the runners were outnumbered and outmatched, the young team performed well. They were led by the 4x200m relay team of Juniors Matt Schiller (24.4), Charles Hixon (26.0), Micah Peterson (25.3 and Emmett Saures (26.5) who placed 2nd in their heat with a seasonal best time of 1:42.24. The 4x400m and Distance Medley relay teams also ran well. Junior Brad Mader running in his first meet this season led the 4x400m team with a 56 second 400m lead off leg en-route to their fastest time of the season of 3:50.24. Fellow Juniors Hixon, Peterson and Sharif Sabur joined him on the team.

The freshman and sophomore 4x400m team led by Sophomores Keith Born and Irving Duncan along with Freshman Kevin Davis and Gagandeep Bal completed the distance in 4:28.24. The meet also provided the team to compete in the rarely run Distance Medley Relay. The Boys team of Sabur, K. Davis, Duncan and Doug Shapiro ran a respectable time of 12:25.54. The Girls team also competed in the DMR and ran 14:36.44.

The team next competes at the Thomas Jefferson Middle School Quad Meet on Jan. 4, 2001.

Monday, Dec. 3rd, 2001

The 2001-2002 Winter Track and Field season got underway this past weekend for the Statesmen at Episcopal High School versus Hayfield, West Springfield and Robert E. Lee. Senior Captains Carissa Culbreath and Chris Barham continued where they left off last year by dominating their events.
Culbreath showed why she is considered one of the Regions best by winning the Shot Put competition by 10 feet. Her throw of 35ft 7in was also a personal best, an automatic Northern Regional Championship Qualifier and two inches off the VA AAA State qualification. This is the second straight year; Culbreath has qualified for the Regional Championships at the very first meet.
Barham would also continued where he left off last year when he won the Liberty District Championship by winning his event by over 7 feet. His throw of 46ft 2in missed automatically qualifying for for the Northern Virginia Regional Championship by one inch. Juniors Tim Silver (39ft 1.5in) and Jack Allison (36ft 5.5in) followed Barham with top six finishes in the Shot Put.
Junior Lara Simonton and the Boys 4x400m relay led the winning events. Running in the 1000m run for the second time, Simonton lowered her personal best by over five second (3:34.54) and cracked the top three on the all-time Marshall List.
The Boys 4x400m relay team led by Junior Matt Schiller (55.39) held off a fast charging Lee team anchor by Liberty District 400m Outdoor Champion to win the final event of the afternoon. Schiller was joined on the team by fellow juniors Charles Hixon (59.99), Micah Peterson (62.76) and Emmett Saures (61.59) on the victorious team.
