High School Track and Field National Championships

July 14, 2010 By Leave a Comment

Well we’re back from the Nike National Championships and what an amazing trip. The kids were treated like kings and queens, received a ton of free stuff and had a fantastic time. A HUGE congratulations to the Chandler Girls Track Team as they are the 2010 National Champions. Brophy College Prep finished 8th – if you had asked me at the beginning of the year if I would have thought our team would be one of the top 10 teams in the US I would have laughed you out of the the room:-) Great Job Guys!

Here are some random video clips of the competition. You might notice that at the end of the clip there was a snafu in scoring and Brophy was actually named as the National Champions – we had a good laugh at that :-)

The mile was nothing short of amazing. Aside from some incredible performances, the meet organizers called everyone out of the stands and had them stand in lane 4. It was an amazing site that I’m sure the athletes will never forget.

Hanna Carson named “Comeback Athlete Of The Week”.  Hanna suffered a sever knee injury last February and is now training with Tim O’Neil and his staff at the Mesa Hit Center to prepare for the upcoming Arizona high school track and field season.  Hanna, considered one of Arizona’s elite throwers, won the Arizona 5A State Championships in the shot put and discus as only a freshman.  Even more impressive, Hanna qualified for the 2008 U.S. Olympic Track and Field Trials in the javelin – again she was only a freshman in high school.
