Region 4A C Championships

This Wednesday, May 23rd, and Friday, May 25th, are the Region 4A C Championships. There are fourteen teams that are all extremely good – the best team in the nation is in our region. While competition with be intense, this will push us to do our very best. Both the girls and the boys 4X800’s are seeded first and will take place as the only running events on Wednesday. Wednesday is the field event day, where many of the field events will take place. Wednesday is at John Handley High in Winchester and Friday is at Millbrook High in Leesburg. I am so excited for this meet because the top four individuals and relay teams move onto the state championships, and our girls 4X800 relay has good chances of advancing to states! Please make it out and support the team if you can!

Dulles Districts

Dominion spring track is heading to Dulles Districts tomorrow at Loudoun County High School in Leesburg, VA. The 3200 meter run, or the two mile, is today to allow those runners to run events tomorrow and not have to worry about the 3200 later. However, it is expected to thunderstorm tomorrow at 3 p.m. and 4 p.m., so they might delay or postpone the meet. At districts, top four relays and top eight individuals move on to regionals. I am running the 800 tomorrow, and I hope to break 2:30 and move on to regionals by placing top eight. Regionals Wednesday and Friday next week, Wednesday being at John Handley and Friday being at James Woods. Unfortunately, I am missing both a Chemistry SOL and a math test on Wednesday! Wish us luck and come support us at the meet tomorrow, which starts at 3 p.m.!

Spring Track: Post Season Update

We are almost at the end of the regular season of spring track, with only two meets left – all this week. We have a home meet here at Dominion today, the ninth of May (make it out to see it!), and one more meet on Friday at Millbrook high school. After the Last Chance Invitational at MillbrooSee the source imagek, we have conference, regionals, then states. The girls 4X800 has made regionals and we are going to try and qualify for states this Friday, having to get the time of 9:58. This FAST time means all four runners in tImage result for track and fieldhe relay have to run under 2:30 for their leg of the 800. To put the time in perspective, Dominion’s HS record for the 4X800 is a 10:05. The boys relay qualified for states last Saturday at the Nike Spring Invitational at South Lakes HS, where they also won the entire meet. I am trying to qualify for regionals in the 800 today, which means I have to run a 2:27. Wish our team luck!
