Indoors news - Jan 2007

The WV Flyers hosted their first indoor track meet Friday night. Even though it was a small meet, there were still some outstanding performances. Kaylyn Christopher won the mile with a solo 5:10 in her first race since the Cross Country state meet. Levi Grandt showed he's been taking the winter serious with a win in the 1600m clocking a 4:35 (followed closely by Josh Feathers in 4:36 and Travis Simpson in 4:37). He also came back to win the 800. North Marion standout Zach Tennant cruised to a victory in the 3200. I have no idea where you can find results for this meet. It may be up on the WV Flyers page later.

The Ryan Jobes Memorial 5K (honoring the memory of fallen runner Ryan Jobes who was killed in a car accident last year) kicked off it's first year with a good start. Plenty of runners made an appearance to show their support with Zach Sabatino and Jenn Davis (the Ken and Barbie of WV distance running) taking top honors for the men and women races.

Indoor Track has officially started with a few meets before the Christmas break. Marietta hosted the Early Bird which had a few WVIAC schools in attendance. Ryan Skotnicki (who I thought was dead) made an appearance in the 3K.
