Team VA Dominated In NYC's Marine Corp Classic


The highlights of the weekend for Virginia included nine champions up at the Marine Holiday Classic in NYC. Britton Wilson probably took home the highest honor with her US #1 win in the 300 (38.66) ahead of Shadajah Ballard who went 39.09 for second. 

Western Branch also took home the win in both shuttle hurdle relays and boys 4x2 which was just 0.70 seconds faster than Highland Springs in second. 

Highland Springs ran well across the board but their best performance and VA's best performance on the field was Keyonte Midgett's 47-8.5 winning jump in the triple. He joined Trevor Thomas and Khaila Lyons as a champion in a field event. Both Thomas and Lyons won the high jump. 

The final two champions for VA was Bryan Ahouman in the 55 and Micah Harris in the 800.
