Day 1 of the2014 Georgia Olympics had some outstanding performances achieved by athletes from all classes. It was definitely 'Hot as Georgia Asphalt' in Jefferson earlier today, confounding climatologists statewide as it seemed weatherwise we all were down in Albany without the gnats, lol. Daniel Haugh from St.Pius X thrilled the fans and his fellow throwers alike winning the 3A Discus with his 1st attempt in 194-5. A few of the highlites ga.milesplit shot pics for are included in this brief article..

St. Pius may be the most overwhelming favorite to repeat as team champs at the Georgia Olympics this week. If you take out all their (3rd/4th) distance runners from the virtual meet I ran its still possible the Golden Lions may ring up 100 points. Cedar Grove is strong in the relays, sprints and Washington County has their share of athletes that can score big points. Henry County, Central, North Hall and Elbert County will be battling for a Podium spot.

The AAA Region Championships 'Athletes of the Week' are Bailey Willett of Blessed Trinity after she ran a smokin' 2:14 in the 800m at 6-AAA, and throws 'Specialist' Daniel Haugh from St.Pius X as he doubled in both events, including unleashing yet another awesome toss of 187-9 in the Discus. 

Daniel Haugh of St.Pius X HS has been a monster in the Throws this season, and he once again is selected as the 3A Boys overall 'AOW' after his performances (especially the Discus at 183-2) at the Nike Panther Relays. David Curry of Buford surged into the #2 spot in the 3A PV rankings after he cleared a 14-0 bar at the Gwinnett County Championships making him a co- 'AOW' this past week.   

Thirty teams rolled onto the Starrs Mill campus Saturday morning and undeterred by the ominous weather forecasts (which 3-4 invitationals cancelled their meets) a very competitive large meet was contested with the powerful AAA St.Pius X boys winning convincingly by 22 points over bunched up Carrollton (2nd) McIntosh (3rd)  The host Lady Panthers defended their turf winning the girls side by a slim 6 point margin over #2 in the 5A team power rankings Pope HS. National Silver and Ga Elite standards were set in many events over the course of the competition.

  Here are from this  past week of action (ending March 10th) GaMileSplit's 3A Boys 'Athletes of the Week'  Yo, we now recognize 2 categories in the Field Events: Jumps and Throws as demanded.  Had to go with Quintaveon Poole from Washington County  as the 3A Boys Overall AOW as he is currently ranked #2 in the 400 Meters (47.88) on MileSplit's National HS rankings!!

The Simplot Games, arguably the best indoor track & field for high school athletes in the West annually, get underway on Thursday and lasts through the weekend at Idaho State University's Holt Arena in Pocatello.

The Simplot Games opened Thursday on the campus of Idaho State University as the Throw1deep Club made their annual trek there and took home a Silver and Bronze medal in the Girls Weight Throw and Daniel Haugh won the Gold in the Boy's competition.   

After a concussion forced him to give up the sport of football as a tenth grader, Daniel Haugh quickly found a new sport which he was the one doing the pounding in throwing metal implements great distances in the throwing events of track & field. In a two year span, Haugh has elevated himself to be the nation's best in the weight throw. Last month, the St. Pius X High School senior and member of the incredibly successful Throw 1 Deep club, launched a US #1 mark of 78'5" at the KYA High School Indoor Classic in Johnson City, Tennessee. MileSplit US interviewed Haugh as he gears up for his final month of competition this indoor season
