On Tuesday night at a home meet at Fireman's Field in Sebring, a low entry count in the girls 1600 prompted the meet management staff to decide to run both genders together. As a result, Tubbs for once had someone to race against (which has only happened once before this season at the Steinbrenner Invitational)... at least for a little bit, that is before she left the boys in her dust!
With dark skies closing in on Showalter Field in Winter Park, Andres Arroyo of Colonial decided he better run fast if he wanted to get the race in at the rain-shortened Metro Prelims. The Boys 1600 ended up being the last race of the night; Andres ran Florida's third fastest high school 1600 all-time.
Florida sprinters are dominant and deep. In January the FHSAA approved the 4x200 for regular season meets. Is it time to add it to the State Meet?

The biggest meet of the year so far in Tampa Bay, it was a great day in West Florida with a lot of elite performances. However, triple jumper Jeremiah Green stole the show.
Bob Hayes Invitational is aways hot hot hot. Out of many amazing performances on the day though, the Levonte Whitfield vs Kendal Williams battles in the 100 and 200 are one of the greatest in the meet's storied history. Whitfield gets the 100m in 10.15 to 10.18; Williams edges him out in the 200m 20.63 to 20.65. Both are wind aided, but stunning none the less.
