MVPs Ellie Silvia, Megan Jackson lift Sacred Heart to District 11-3A Championship - NOLA.com

Greg Caro may be in the midst of a dream season, but the veteran Sacred Heart coach knows what success looks like. Anyone who's driven through uptown New Orleans has seen the beaming faces smiling from the "3A State Cross Country Champions" banner on Sacred Heart's gates. Caro has managed to lead the Cardinals to a state victory for seven of the past eight years on the trails in Natchitoches, but Sacred Heart has never won a state outdoor track title.

Sierra Brabham-Lawrence doesn't back down from the competition... and she is only getting better!

Harrisburg junior Sierra Brabham-Lawrence is a hurdles. Everything from 55 and 60 indoor, to 100, 300 (and hopefully next year, 400) outdoor. She made the semi's in AAA as a sophomore... and as a junior, medaled with a 7th place finish in the 100. Because of budget cuts, she did not run indoor until this past season, and in her first crack at the shorter race, she won a state title and tied the state meet record. At NBNI - fighting an illness - she made the semis. This spring she immediately went in the top of the 100 hurdles rankings, and is currently PA#2. And her 300m Hurdles from Pan-Ram remains PA#1. This season she added the triple jump, and in her first competition went to PA#1. She is currently PA#2. 

MileStat Makes One Last Stop On The Road To The Penn Relays, Blacksburg

With only days, no hours, separating us from the 2014 Penn Relays Carnival it was time to see how the Blacksburg Bruins were preparing themselves for this prestigious meet. Both the boys and girls 4x800 teams are competing, both out of the small school section, and are looking to not only move into the Championship of America final but to also place well in that the following day. 

PTXC Journal: Kennedy Weisner, Elk Ct. Catholic - Entry #6 - Apr 21-Millrose x2-Penn Relays x3

Elk County Catholic senior Kennedy Weisner enters her final year of XC with a champion's resume. Her best year to date was last year as a junior when she won her first state cross country title - this one in the inaugural Class A Championship. Weisner also qualified for her first Foot Locker Nationals. During indoor, she was invited to her first Millrose Mile, and also to the Brooks PR meet, an elite gathering in the Northwest. She came back in outdoor to capture two state AA titles, winning the 800 and the 1600 - a very tough double. She began her final XC season at PTXC-5, setting a course record of 17:49. An injury hurt her chance to repeat in Class A in XC, and sidelined her until December. She on the Millrose Trials Mile and finished 2nd in the Millrose Games. This is her third year qualifying for the Penn Relaya Carnival Mile - taking 5th as a sophomore and 3rd as a junior.

2014 Penn Relays Carnival Preview, Seven Races You Can't Miss

Each year when the calendar hits April it is time to check the Milesplit rankings nearly everyday and see who is the comeptiton this year, who will win which races, and sometimes the most prudent question who will fight with the Jamaicans the longest.

Each year, high school, college, and professional athletes from around the country and across the globe flock to Franklin Field to take part in the Penn Relay Carnival, the longest continuously held collegiate track meet in the United States. (via www.upenn.edu)

Andrew Hunter: "What was my time!?"

So far this calendar year it has only taken Loudoun Valley sophomore Andrew Hunter 20 laps to lead the state both in the 1600 and 3200. Earlier this month, in his first major race of the outdoor season, Andrew ran his way onto the top of the state leaderboard with his 4:14.60 1600.
