We continue our Track and Field Top 50 with the mid-distance/distance events. Daesha Rogers has been winning state titles in track since she was a sixth grader at American Heritage including the past two 800 meter crowns. Now a high school freshman, Daesha will look for number three at her new school, Miami Jackson. She comes in with the fastest time of all classes at 2:08.15. On the boys side, the graduation of Andres Arroyo allows for someone else to be the new leader in this event. Arroyo went 1:47 and change one of the greatest performances we've seen. Javon Patterson finished second to the standout at the 4A state championships. He's the only runner coming into 2014 who has gone under 1:52. The next closest runners are more than three seconds behind.
