Golden South: Lawrence 20.77; Franklin Misses Mark; Freeman Wins 2 Golds; Oak Ridge 46.22 4x1

First order of business, because of all of the hype going in... Joseph Franklin did not have his night and faded off with postive splits for each lap after starting on pace for the first lap. He finished in 4:13. Despite the attention going in on that mile, the shorter stuff was where it was at! Torrin Lawrence who came through big after getting injured at state with a 20.77, a meet record and the fourth fastest time in the country. Octavious Freeman won both the girls 100 (10.66) and 200 (24.02). And Charlene Lipsey of New York broke the 23 year old 800m record with a time of 2:08.25. The girls of Oak Ridge ran a US #9 and FL #1 time of 46.22 in the 4x100. Other top performers included Brianna Frazier and CJ Lockhart.
