Clarksburg Boys 2008 Montgomery County Champions
Wootton Girls 2008 Montgomery County Champions |
 Alex Prevost has steadily been developing for years behind former teammates Elias Tousley and Chris Bowie on the B-CC distance team. With the departure of their two stars, Prevost and a tight group of seniors have continued the legacy in a way that no one thought possible. Last fall, B-CC had a Cinderella cross country season which ended in a 1-point victory at the 3A State Championship. Prevost continued to contribute to B-CC's success by qualifying for the 800 and 1600 at the indoor state championship. He and his teammates again have their sites set on the state championship for one last hoorah. |
Everything was going well for the South Lakes runner in the background of this picture...that is until something went horribly wrong. Her legs tangled, she lost her balance, and she fell to the ground. She was unable to finish the race while the two out front qualified for the finals.
This photo by Kevin Milsted captures a painful moment from the Draper Invitational 200-meter trials. | 
Tuesday is National Run a Mile Day, so no matter what your event is, go out and run a mile. |
The male athlete of the week is Antonio Palmer of Gaithersburg High School. Palmer set his personal bests by winning the 400 in 49.76 and the 800 in 1:54.96 at the Howard County Invitational. It was perhaps the best double victory by a county athlete this year, not to mention his equally impressive relay legs.
This week's female athlete of the week is Alix Dyer of the French International School. Dyer ran her personal best in both the 200 and 400 at the Draper Invitational in times of 25.33 (2nd, 25.29q) and 57.20 (2nd). She couldn't catch up to Adetu of Sidwell Friends, but ran the third fastest FAT 200 and second fastest FAT 400 of the year by a Montgomery County athlete.
