It’s one week before the State Indoor meet and our team is back in action at the “Last Chance Invitational”.
This two day meet is huge, with 86 teams from Alabama and Mississippi in attendance and several of the events having more then 200 athletes competeing.

Friday evening saw action in the prelims for the 60m Dash, 60m Hurdles, 800m.

For the girls, Marcha Coney, Zoriah Trammell, Sharnell Walker and Arizahn Mendoza all established solid, first times in the 60m dash though they did not move on to the finals.
In the 60m Hurdles, Kelcie Johnson and Brianca Tramell did not move on to the finals but both girls beat the old Sparkman, Record Time for this event. Brianca just edged out her team mate for the honors with a time of 11.02 !

Sharnell Walker 60m

Arizahy Mendoza 60m

Gabrielle Griner competed in the Polevault once again clearing 8′ to give her a tie for 12th in the field of 26. While she continues to be the top Middle School Vaulter in the state, she has quite a challenge to score against the state’s best, HS Varsity Girls.
