Amadou Gueye had never run the 55-meter hurdles before. He didn’t know what a good time what. In never raced at the Bishop Loughlin Games before. In fact, the Albany Academy senior never even ran indoor track.

Cardozo sophomore Chamique Francis doesn’t have much experience running 300 meters. But she watched the meet. She knew the 55-meter champ was in her race. She knew the girl to her outside would challenge her all the way to the finish.

All the performances from Tuesday's DVGTCA meet are in the rankings. We need results from the PCL meet Wednesday. And the DVGTCA meet set for Friday the 19th was cancelled due to the weather.

Girls results, winners table, pictures all posted. Streaming video went well from 9am-4pm. Tune in next Saturday for the next broadcast from the Marine Corps Holiday Classic.

      What’s different about the boys from Albemarle this year from last? Is it that they have 3 All-American performances, a state title, and numerous individual honors? Or maybe that they have already run a faster time than they did all of last year in indoor and its only the second week of December. One thing is for sure, the boys on Albemarle’s 4x800 meter relay team this year have the confidence and poise of champions, and will look to return to the podium this year at states and eventually nationals. As they head up to the Loughlin Games in the famous Armory of New York, MileStat.com took some time to sit down with the junior anchor runner of the 4x800 meter relay team in Anthony Kostelac and discuss the history of the team, and the history they will soon hope to make.
