2011 High School Nike Track Nationals

The Lee's Summit West High School (Track Club) Lady Titans make their second straight appearance at the second annual Nike Team Track Nationals in Eugene at Oregon's Hayward Field. The Meet is held tonight after the USATF Nationals meet concludes. The top 12 boys and girls teams from across the country selected and provided transportation for 9 athletes and two coaches. There were 8 regional winners based on the scores of the contested events and 4 at-large berths. Only 10 events are contested and a team gets to compete in the 9 of their choice. Points are scored based on the international scoring table, not finish place. The larger margin of victory the more points gained on the competition. The Lady Titans won the Midwest Region and scored the 4th most points in the country.

Maurice Mitchell!! 2 x National Champion! 4x1 and 200 in 19.99!!!

Taking the baton on the third leg of the 4x100 meter relay finals Maurice Mitchell Florida State/Raytown South put some distance on the field and Brandon Byram anchored the Seminoles home to win the 4x1 title in 38.77. Less than 40 minutes later Mitchell returned to the track for the 200 final. From lane six he scorched the track and the field in 19.99 to win his first individual title with an illegal wind of 2.3. It was still a stadium record I believe breaking Michael Johnson's mark. He beat the field by almost 4/10ths of a second. The runner-up was Marek Nitt of Arkansas in 20.38. Maurice's teammate Brandon Byram added 5 points with fourth place finish in 20.41, 1/100th of a second from 3rd place. Hopefully that one team point won't make a difference in the team battle.

With the 4x400 to go the Florida State Men lead Florida by 4 points. FSU has no 4x400 and Florida is running out of lane 1. Their lead off leg is Christian Taylor who just won the triple jump in 58-4.75!!!!
We'll see how much that took out of him.
