Athletes from all over the country have come together to compete for national titles in a variety of exciting track and field events. This is more than just a competition; it’s a stage for young stars to shine, and shine they did!

A New Era for the 4x800m Relay Records

One of the most jaw-dropping moments came from the IMG Academy, who absolutely crushed the competition in the Girls 4x800m Championship! Their stunning time of 8:46.04 shattered the previous all-time indoor national record of 8:48.02, which was set by Cuthbertson High School just last year. The dynamic relay team consisted of Anyla Robinson, Aurora Bertelsen Del Solar, Mackenzie Winning, and Danielle Graham, all of whom ran with incredible speed and determination.

On the boys’ side, St. John’s College High School has made waves by establishing a new meet record in the Boys 4x800m Championship with a time of 7:37.52, which ranks as the #2 performance in U.S. high school history! Bentonville High School put up a strong fight, finishing just behind them at 7:37.95, becoming the #3 all-time indoor performance in the U.S. However, the all-time national record for the 4x800m still stands tall at 7:36.99, set by Albemarle back in 2009. Could it be in jeopardy soon?

Middle School Marvels Shine Bright

It wasn’t just the high schoolers making headlines! In a sensational display, Mackenzie Skelly set the track ablaze in the girls’ middle school indoor mile, clocking in an astonishing 4:48.97. This incredible performance makes her the fastest middle school girl ever in the history of the indoor mile, breaking the previous record of 4:51.19 set only last year. What a remarkable feat!

And let’s not forget the freshman girls’ mile! The competition was fierce, with Colby McCollum narrowly crossing the line first at 4:52.12, just ahead of Petra Gruendel at 4:52.18. Both ladies surpassed the former meet record of 4:58.00, proving that they are the new contenders to watch for the future.

The sprinting events were nothing short of electrifying. Michael Swanson from IMG Academy stole the show in the freshman boys’ 400m, setting a new meet record at 48.77. In a stunning display of speed, Jaylen Edwards and Gideon Newton also broke the previous record with times of 49.44 and 49.46, respectively. Talk about a thrilling race!

The middle school girls’ 400m race was another highlight, with Camryn Dailey crossing the finish line in a blazing 55.33, overtaking the previous meet record of 55.84. Mya Arrendell didn’t fall far behind, finishing second at 55.62, also breaking that previous record.
