Teona Rodgers of Tampa Wharton High School started the season strong and hasn't let up yet! Today in Tallahassee she tied Pavielle James' 2003 state record of 13.51. Rodgers ran a 13.70 last weekend at Lake Mary, which was already the leading Florida girls time this season. Rodgers also ran a PR in the 100m with a time of 11.63, which is third best this year in Florida.
The boys 1600m race was a thriller! Joseph Franklin and Connor Revord both ran well under the previous top 4 lap time in the state this year. Franklin, starting to round into the track superhero we all expect, won in 4:14.27, Revord came through at 4:15.45. The previous day, Joseph ran for a 9:29.73 victory in the 3200 meters.
Clarence Powell of Cottondale, had a new PR in the triple jump with a mark of 48-10. That puts him at #2 in Florida this spring.
Miami Belen Jesuit continues to better their previous best each week and extend their lead over the rest of Florida. On Friday they did so with a 7:56.90 easy win in the 4x800.
