The Jimmy Carnes Indoor Meet is an age group meet. However we wondered how it would play out if it was run as one big meet so we combined the results. Seneca Milledge, only an 8th grader, scored the top time in the 55m dash and second best leap in the long jump regardless of age. In addition he also tallied the 17th fastest time of the day in the 200m dash. Check out how the boys would fare in the 2015 and final installment of Florida's only indoor meet!

Age is just a number and a trio of girls proved that Saturday at the Jimmy Carnes Indoor Meet. Sixth grader Tamari Davis and seventh graders Briana Williams and Trinity Flagler posted age group times that would have ranked them among the best sprinters in the whole meet! See the girls combined results from the 2015 Jimmy Carnes Indoor Meet.

Charlotte senior Marshall Dillon was just shy of the meet record in the boys mile with his time of 4:21.40, while Justin Pacifico and Yohance Haynes duked it out in the 800 in route to the top two times in meet history. Tyrese Cooper proved why he is the top freshman in the nation and was tested by friend Seneca Milledge! We combined the 13-14, 15-16, and 17-19 results to see who had the fastest times/best marks in every event!
