Karimah Davis

Everyone loves a "what if scenario right? So, we took all the results from the weekend, merged them together and found out who really won the weekend. Check it out for yourself! If you want to be the best you have to beat the best.

Nicole Greene climbed up the HJ rankings becoming only the fourth Florida girl to eclipse 6'0". JAC teammate David Bell made his mark on the pole vault rankings, while members of the Fast Lane Track Club set new meet records and brought home gold medals from the Eastern High School Challenge on the campus of UNC.

Florida's female quarter milers are lead by Oak Ridge senior and University of Florida signee Sharrika Barnett. Barnett, was the 4A runner-up in 2014 behind current USC freshman Kendall Ellis. She was second at New Balance Outdoor Nationals with a personal best time of 53.43, the best of all returners for 2015. Sophomore Symone Mason and junior Tamani Wilson have also ran under 54 seconds in high school. See the top 50 girl returners in the 400m dash.

The Sunshine State doesn't have a ton of performances logged in this early indoor season. That won't come for several weeks until the only indoor meet in Florida takes place at the Jimmy Carnes in Gainesville. However, some athletes have headed out of state for some early season tune ups. See the Florida indoor leaderboard and how they rank on the national stage.

Three days of action packed track and field took over Greensboro, North Carolina for the New Balance Outdoor National Championship. The Sunshine State crowned two champions in the Miami Northwestern 4x100m Relay and Karimah Davis in the Emerging Elite girls 200 meters, while several earned All-American honors, and numerous athlets came home with new personal bests!  

While the vast majority of Florida athletes were competing across the state, several headed to the famed Armory in New York, the site of New Balance Nationals Indoor. Freeport senior and University of Arkansas claimed the national title in the pentathlon while North Florida Christian senior and University of Florida signee Darrielle McQueen leaped to a new personal best 41-3.75 in the triple jump and a runner-up finish.  Class of 2017 star Karimah Davis was second in the girl's freshman 400 meter dash.

The future of South Florida track and field is looking bright as these freshmen are not afraid of the upper classmen. Freshmen dominating the scene include Symone Mason, Twanisha Terry, Kayla Johnson, De’Andreah Young and of course Daesha Rodgers. Some freshmen coming in were already running fast times in middle school and aren’t scared of any big meets as most of them have performed at the Junior Olympics where over 11,000 athletes compete from all over. 

This past weekend Hallandale High School held its preseason meet, 'Hallandale All-Comers'. This preseason meet showed that many athletes from Dade,  Broward and Palm Beach  are running fast with the season only just beginning. This meet in previous years has been used at a foreshadowing of who's going to be a standout during the season. For example, the Hallandale girls last year debuted their all-star team with athletes like Lia King and Regine Williams and they got 3A runner-up with only 6 girls.  As always this meet showcase some great talent from some very young new athletes, and others a little bit older and more seasoned. 

Palm Beach Central freshman Karimah Davis spent the summer running for Fast Lane Track Club. Davis is definitely on the fast lane having posted a  freshman US#7 mark of 26.32 at the Indoor Alumni Age Group Invitational in Alabama. In her second indoor meet, the Jimmy Carnes Indoor Meet, she posted another top ten time, a freshman US#8 time of 59.30 for 400 meters. Also making the list is Taylor Logue, who competed unattache at Jimmy Carnes, but attends Pine Crest High School. Logue's pole vault mark of 9-6 ranks her in a five way tie for US#6 among class of 2017 athletes.  If your time or marks didn't crack the top ten don't worry.
