Elijah Gray nearly broke an 11 year old 400m record

For the boys, Elijah Gray highlighted the weekend by winning the 400m dash and the 800m run. His time of 1:03.39 in the 400m nearly broke one of the oldest records in the meet, which was set in 2001 by Steven Hill, 1st round draft pick of the New York Jets (1:03.21). While disappointed in being so close, he came back to win the 800m. Also sharing the spotlight for the weekend was Jevon Leonard. Jevon was a triple winner in the 800m and 1500m, while also leading off the 4 x 400m Midget Boys (11-12 yr old) relay team, which posted a Top Five time in the country. In addition, Matthew Harris posted two wins in the 80m Hurdles and the 400m. He, as well as Jevon and Elijah, posted National Elite Top 10 performances over this weekend.

 

Other notables included our Midget Boys B-Team relay, which took 2nd to our own team, and also our Intermediate Boys (15-16 yr old) 4 x 400m relay team came home winners. Our other medalists included:
