As happens in the world of Track and Field, marks are always coming in from all over the world, and can't be limited to one age group, or one set of events!
Thus this "children's" post includes a few "adult" marks!
But let's begin with the kids!
Even before the NBN or Brooks PR meets, we got some incredible marks to rave about!
Brianna Williams sprinted the 100 meters in 11.02--wind legal!
This makes her 2nd A-T HS, behind only Candace Hill's sole sub-11 from a few years ago!
She also gets the Junior Class Record!!
Another amazing mark came from Justin Robinson, whose 44.84 over a full lap makes him also 2nd A-T HS!!
I'm going to report all of the "older" marks first--because they're so good--and because the two major meets didn't quite live up to their historical levels of value!
They were good--even great in some events--but overall were lacking that "amazing" spark needed to produce a historic event!!
K Lightner ran the 200 in 20.48, making him 17th A-T HS!!
This was at the Great Southwest meet!
Jan Ford ran the 400 in 51.57, making her 11th A-T HS!
AJ Green ran the 800 in 1:49.83--the first sub-1:50 of the year!
But Danial Maton--brother of Matthew--followed with his own sub-1:50--a 1:49.09!
In New York, Parker Stokes ran the 3000SC in 9:02.48, making him 8th A-T HS!!
And Haze Farmer PV'ed 17-7, but missed the HS list by one inch!!
The Girls performed far better the New Balance meet than the Boys!1
Only 1 Meet Record fellMale the Male side!
Kurt Powdar sprinted the 110H in 13.27 for that sole MR!
It makes him 4th A-T HS!!
Another good mark came in the 5000, won by Robbie Cazcan in 14:26.18!
Also, Yariel Soto did the 10 events of the Decathlon in runaway fashion, scoring 7509 points!
But they use the HS implements and size hurdles, so doesn't qualify for my list, which is the one Pro's do!!
But T&FN says he's 7th A-T HS for that event!1
The Girls, however, broke 4 MR's at NBN!
And none were better--or maybe more meaningful--than the 400!
Kayla Davis--a Freshman!!--defeated the almost legendary Athing Mu, 51.17 to 51.98!
This is the MR, , the Frosh Class Record--by almost a full second!!----and the Age 15 Record, according to T&FN!!
This makes her 7th A-T HS!!
She smashed her old PR by 0.91 seconds!1
Mu's 51.98 makes her 21st A-T HS!
But more importantly, it strengthens her potential to run well under 2:-- over 800 meters!!
Marlee Starliper took the Mile in 4:41.18!
Sydney Mascirelli--the 2018 Footlocker winner--took the Deuce in a slow 10:11.99!
But maybe there was a good reason for the slow time!
You see, the day before, she'd won the 5000 in a solid 3-way race!1
After a slow start (5:20), Kelsey Chmiel took the reins and ran the next 1600 in under 5:10!
Another syb-5:10 found Chmiel giving up the lead to Mascirelli!1
And it was the latter that sprinted down the final straight (past lapped runners!) to victory!
Her time of 16:16.20 is the Soph Class Record!
It makes her 11th A-T HS!!
Chmiel held on for the Silver, time of 16:18.57!
This makes her 15th A-T HS!
In 3rd came an unknown (to me!), Lydia Russell of Pennsylvania!!
Her 16:18.72 makes her 16th A-T HS!!
The Vertical Jumps both got Meet Records!
Morgan Smalls HJ'ed 6-2.25 to win easily!
She tried 6-3.50, but missed!
This makes her 7th A-T HS, tied with 5 others!
Chloe Cunliffe also tried a higher height-14-8.25, but also missed!
Her winner, however, took down the MR--measuring 14-4.75!1
It was the first 14 footer at NBN!!
Taylor Ewert won the 2000SC in a MR 6:33.61!
She also ran the Mile and an 800 Relay leg!
She didn't Walk, since she's readying for her first 20K Race Walk!!
Britton Wilson won the 400H in 56.17, making her 7th A-T HS!
There were some fast Relays, but ZERO Meet Records in that department!
The Brooks PR meet had a few high level performances also!
The best was the Girls Two Mile!
(I congratulate both meets for doing the full 2 Mile rather than the 3200!!_
Ericka VanderLende took a great 3-way race in 9:53.00!
This makes her 2nd A-T HS!!
(Remember, I don't count 3200 times, or times converted up to the full Deuce!1
This eliminates at least 2 speedy 3200's!!)
Katelynn Hart took 2nd with her 9:56.15!
She's 7th A-T HS!
Brynn Brown's 9:57.54 makes her 8th A-T HS!!
Both Miles were solid, but none of the marks made or changed my lists!
Three Boys ran under 4:04!
Ned Foster's 4:03.11 won the race!
Joe Workman's 4:03.73 took 2nd, while the Leo Daschbach's 4:03.98 took the Bronze!1
The Girl's race was won in 4:42 and change by Zofia Dudek!
Taryn Park was close behind in 2nd!
Carlee Hanson also dipped under 4:43!
Back in 7th came the former World Leader--Victoria Starcher--in 4:45.01!
Cole Sprout took a good 2 Mile in 8:46.41!
Sciarra Killebrew sped the Century in 11.24, making her 19th A-T HS, tied with 3 others!!
Remember Roisin Willis, the Frosh who beat Athing Mu at the NBIN back in March?/
Well, she got an OUTdoor PR in winning the 800 in 2:04.86!!
At the Adrian Martinez Classic, Ryan Oosting finished just 5th in a field of Professionals, but his 4:03.70 was a solid effort!!
And that does it for the "children"!!
But this time of year, there are several smallish European meets, plus a few here in the States, that give athletes a chance to Q for the WC's, or just have a hard effort!!
Best was Ryan Crouser, who got the SP out to 73-4.50!!
He had two other Puts over 73 in the series!!
Jon Jones finished 2nd with a PR of 69-7!
Kenyatta Hackworth (a name worthy of being in a novel!!) LJ'ed 23-1.75, but it was windy!1
However, her best legal jump of 22-8.50 makes her 16th A-T US!!
(Where did she come from??)
Vashti Cunningham remains the best US High Jumper, her 6-4.25 an easy winner!
However, Jenna Rowe PR'ed with her 6-2.25!
The Brooks PR includes a few Pro events!
Best was the Men's 1500, where Josh Kerr PR'ed with 3:33.60!!
His previous best had been his Collegiate time of 3:35.01!
The Women's 1500 was won by Katie Mackey's 4:05.97!
BTW, Henry Wynne finished 2nd to Kerr in a good 3:35.14!
The Lusembourg Men's SP National Record went to Bob Bertemes's 69-10.25!!
Malaika Mihambo :LJ'ed 23-1.75!
Both Lavillenie brothers competed in a PV in France!
Valentin came out the winner with his 19-075!
Brother Renaud couldn't even top 18 feet, and finished 6th!!
Finally, Kirubel Erassa ran a 10000 in 27:32.89. making him 18th A-T US!!
But more significantly, it REMOVED the iconic Ed Eyestone from the US list, that being his 27:41.05 dating from 1985!!
Eyestone is a prominent coach these days!!
Next up is another "children's" meet--the USATF Junior Champs!1
Also, there's the Talence Multis!1
Wait, you say, aren't the Talence Multis normally held in mid-September?/
Yes, they are!
But they moved it up a few months, as the WC's would come less than 2 weeks after their "normal" dates!!
So lots of good stuff upcoming!
And then there's the Pre DL on June 30th!!
See you soon!
Has Katelyn Tuohy disappeared?
