The Bishop twins won the 110 meter high hurdles, Kevin, and the 200 meter dash, Michael. Alex Jung won the 800 meter run and last but not least, A.J. Turner won both the long and triple jumps.  The boys’ team also won the 4x100 and 4x400 meter relays.

At the prestigious Lake Braddock Hall of Fame Classic the following weekend, Chase Heiner won the 800 meter run over a tough field. Mike Wright completed an impressive 100 meter, 400 meter double with a seventh place finish in each event. Rebecca Vinter scored for the girls’ team with an eighth-place finish in the 800 meters.
