Friday night was buzzing in Jacksonville with over 50 teams making the trek to Bolles for the annual Bulldog Classic. Despite the cold weather and misty conditions, there were some notable performances across the board.


On the boys side, Chiles dominated the meet, led by Avery Bartlett with a fantastic triple in the 1600, 800, and 4x4. Bartlett won both the 1600 and 800 in very fast times of 4:21 and 1:56 respectively, and ran a solid leg on Chiles 3rd place 4x4 relay team. Another notable triple came from Vanguard Freshman Joey Fitzpatrick. The freshman was 2nd in the 1600 in 4:21 and 9th in the 3200 in 9:40. The freshman also ran a 1:59 split on Vanguards 4th place relay team. The Creekside Boys also had a strong showing in the 4x8 running an early 8:07 to win over a strong field. However the performance of the night went to Leon Senior Sukhi Khosla. Khosla opened his 2015 track season with a US #1 9:09 in the 3200 to win by 15 seconds over a stacked field.
