WASHINGTON - Director of Track & Field / Cross Country Patrick Henner announces the incoming class for the 2010-11 season. The incoming class consists of 23 student-athletes (13 men, 10 women) with one transfer, hailing from nine states as well as the District of Columbia.

A distance oriented Friday night at Lake Braddock High School to start off their Hall of Fame Invitational which honored and inducted past great Bruins athlete and current University of Oklahoma coach Dana Boone on Friday evening. A stellar girls 3200 race between Sophie Chase and Ariel Karabinus lived up to its billing with the two runners running stride for stride for over 7 laps including a 5:16 first 1600 meters split until Chase was able to separate in the bell lap for a three second win in 10:39. The first event of the evening was the 800 meter run which saw both Myah Hicks (2:14) and Billy Ledder (1:52) take charge with swift first 400 meter splits at 65 seconds and 53 seconds respectively en route to their impressive wire to wire victories. More to come from Lake Braddock including video and photos of Friday's events by Brandon Miles. Will have Saturday photo coverage by Nicoll Knudsen.

While the invitational mile and 500 meter races were expected to be the featured races of the 2010 Montgomery Invitational and certainly did not disappoint with some of fastest times in the US, the top performance may have come from the boys 3200 with Chantilly senior Chris Foley clocking a US #1 9:14 performance. Foley had to shut his season down after the state cross country meet due to illness, but appears to have been training well since then as shown with his performance in Landover. More to come from Montgomery Invitational including photo gallery by Nicoll Knudsen and a full meet summary.

The 2009 Oatlands Invitational should prove to be one of the biggest and most competitive meets in the state of Virginia this year with another great field of teams assembled by meet directors Derek Farrey and Matt Oblas. The meet will feature team of all classifications and different regions throughout the state of Virginia as well as schools from the states of Maryland and West Virginia. At last count, close to 90 schools in all will be represented on the Oatlands Plantation 5K course in Leesburg on Saturday, September 26th.
