Sydnei Murphy, following in her sister's footsteps, grabbed the top spot in the North Carolina rankings in her last visit to the JDL.

First Presbyterian Day student-athlete and 2011 Foot Locker National All-American Grace Tinkey has committed to the United States Air Force Academy after going on recruiting trips to many ACC and SEC universities. Congrats to Grace and we wish her a full successful rehab from the injury that sidelined her for Cross Country competition.

Eagle's Landing AD/Head XC and Track Coach Claude Spinks stands on top of  a pile of the old asphalt Track to announce it will be replaced during early 2013 with a new 'all-weather' Track!  Over the years Henry County High Schools have had a number of state champions in track and field. Last year alone there were at least 10 state champions or runner-ups from Henry County public schools. However, none of the public schools have ever had an all-weather track to train on. Every public school in the county trained on asphalt. In some cases, as at Eagle’s Landing High School, the asphalt tracks were so old and broken down it was safer to train in parking lots or on grass fields. Only when the athletes traveled to meets outside the county or at private schools were they able to run on a “real” track. That is all changing this  spring. Eagle’s Landing High School has an “all weather” being installed. It won’t be ready this spring but sometime over the summer. Two other schools are currently slated to have all-weather tracks installed in the next year – Stockbridge High School and the new Hampton High School.

Twelve months ago, St. Benedict’s (Newark, N.J.) junior Edward Cheserek was bound for San Diego atop a towering wave of momentum that would dwarf any surfers’ swells from the nearby Pacific Ocean.  Coming into the Foot Locker Finals, he had smashed seven course records during a season for the ages, including becoming the first under 12:00 at Van Cortlandt (Eastern States), taking down Joe Rosa’s Holmdel Park record in Jersey, and a host of others.  (Photo by Don Rich) (via MileSplit)
