New Balance Indoor High School Nationals

The Armory Track served up its annual bashing of the all-time lists at another hot New Balance Indoor Nationals, with 3 national relay records falling and a host of notable performances dominating the headlines.

Boys: Schwartz A Speedster

After a false start by the high-profile Tyrese Cooper (Norland, Miami Gardens) in the 60 heats, Florida rival Anthony Schwartz (American Heritage, Plantation) blistered rounds of 6.63 and 6.62.

Both of those rated in the top 4 all-time—before a scintillating 6.59 final, No. 2 ever and just 0.02 off Casey Combest’s national record.

En route he was clocked at 6.13 for 55, another No. 2 mark ever. Not bad for his first indoor season ever.

“The 60 is perfect for me, because that’s when I separate from everyone,” the football-playing senior said. He minced no words about his outdoor goals: “I’m trying to run under 10 this year.”

In the vault, Zachery Bradford (click to read sidebar) jumped to No. 2 all-time, his clearance at 18-½ making him the third member of the 18-foot club.

“Third-attempt makes are always amazing, especially when you know you’re in 2nd place going into that jump,” quipped Bradford.

The powerful Loudoun Valley (Purcellville, Virginia) squad went after the long relays, cracking the national record in the 4 x Mile by 5.35 seconds with a 17:01.82 (a mark that also rates as the absolute best, being faster than the outdoor standard).

Then, about 6 hours later, the same foursome crushed a No. 2 all-time 7:39.30 in the 4×8.

Brentwood (Tennessee) missed the distance medley record by just 0.13 with a 9:56.31 victory.

Girls: Some Hot Hurdling

When two top hurdlers each flew to 8.15 in the semis—the No. 9 time ever—the final promised fireworks and didn’t disappoint.

Tia Jones (Walton, Marietta, Georgia), the national outdoor recordholder at 12.84, jetted to the early lead but could not shake Grace Stark (Lakeland, White Lake, Michigan). At the finish, the fast-closing Stark nearly made it a dead heat, each clocking 8.05, a new junior class record and just 0.03 shy of the national record.

Powerhouse Bullis (Potomac, Maryland) took down two national records in the relays, the first a 30.44 in the 4 x 55H, then the next day a 1:34.75 to best its own 4×2 record by 0.64. For good measure the school added a 4×4 win in 3:39.86.

Katelyn Tuohy (North Rockland, Thiells, NY) clocked 9:58.90 to win the 2M after relay legs of 2:08.83 and 4:38.62, the latter on an 11:44.38 distance medley win.

Frosh-class records fell in the sprints to Tamari Davis (Gainesville, Florida), who won her 200 heat in 23.24 before capturing the 60 final in 7.25. She later took the 200 final in 23.46.

Other notable marks went to Arria Minor (East, Denver) who won the 400 in 52.74, moving to No. 5 all-time, and Jasmine Moore (Lake Ridge, Mansfield, Texas), who broke the junior-class record in the triple jump with her 42-11¾. Results follow:
