Liberty High School Christmas Invitational

The Liberty meet was a two day affair, Dec. 10-11, in Lynchburg. Over 40 teams from Virginia and North Carolina competed. AHS boys finished 3rd, the girls 4th. Cam hit a PR of 7.20 in the 55m dash, placing 37th. Ryan ran the 1600m, for an 8th place 4:35.12, and the 1000m, for 5th at 2:43.84. Camron jumped in the Long Jump, 17' 5.5" (27th), and the Triple Jump, with a season best of 37' 1" (14th). Both young men competed in relays. Ryan was the anchor of the 4x8 that took second (8:35.15). Camron ran first leg of the 4x2, I had his split at 25.4, and the team placed 11th with a time of 1:40.47. Camron also anchored the 13th place 4x4 relay, with a total time of 3:45.42. Congrats to the boys and to the team.

Camron - 55m

Camron - Long Jump

Welcome Back Camron!

After a difficult season long hiatus due to injury, Cam was back with a vengence, competing in five events in the Louisa Polar Bear. His first event was the long jump, placing 7th with a 17' 3.25". Next up was the 55m dash, and Cam tied for 6th (7.30) against a deep Louisa sprint squad. The schedule was adjusted, and the 4x200 relay was Cam's next event. As the first leg, he opened up a 15m lead by the first zone. Team-wide handoffs were a problem, and the relay team placed second. Next, Cam returned to the pits to place third in the triple jump (36' 5"). His last race was the 300m, and he finished 12th with a time of 42.7. A great day overall, and I know we are as glad to see him back as he is to be there.

Indoor Has Begun

Saturday, Dec. 4, the Louisa County Polar Bear meet was held, with Albemarle, Orange and host Louisa participating. It was cold and windy, perfect weather for a Polar Bear meet. Ryan and Camron competed in 8 events total, and contributed over a third of the AHS boys 54 point total. Ryan finished first in the 1600m (4:41.8), 1000m (2:49.8), and was the second leg (0.55) of the 4x400 first place relay team. Cam gets his own write-up.
Next meet is Friday & Saturday in Lynchburg, at the Liberty University Christmas Invitational.
