Click here for Poly’s Thursday results.

On Friday, the Trackrabbits were entered in five events—they had one DNF, and posted three American-best times in the four races they finished.

In the boys’ 4X800, it was a wild afternoon, as they missed the start time for their heat, and found redemption in a place in the next heat—which they took advantage of with a 7:43, the best time in America, led by Aaron Harris’ 1:53.  Myles Andrews, Christian Penn, and Chris Hall will run in tomorrow’s final.  The 7:43 mark is the nation’s best this year.

The boys’ 4X100 featured a little less drama, but yet another best American time for the Trackrabbits. Alex Cannon, Kameron Jackson, Kameron White, and Kaelin Clay posted a 41.39 to qualify for Saturday’s final.

On the girls’ side, the 4X100 featured the heartbreaker of the day for Poly.  The team of Carisma Lyday, Melia Cox, Traci Hicks, and Akawkaw Ndipagbor were in the lead, when they dropped the baton on the final exchange of the race, to draw a DNF.  Tough for a group that on Thursday ran America’s best time in the event.

The girls’ 4X800 improved on their Thursday time by five seconds, coming in third in the world and first in America with a 9:00.72.  Here are the splits: Arielle Stevenson (2:14.79), Tia Leake (2:14.87), Ne’Ausha Logan (2:14.43), Dynasty Gammage (2:16.63).

Finally, in the girls’ 4X800, Poly finished 7th, with the second best time in America.  Here are the splits from this one: Arielle Stevenson (58.7), Azia Walker (56.5), Erica Winston (58.0), Akawkaw Ndipagbor (55.0).

On Saturday, Poly will be in four events (times are Eastern Standard Time).  The boys’ 4X400 will be at 11:45am, the boys’ triple jump at noon, the 4X100 at 1:35pm, and the 4X800 at 4:10.  ESPN2 will have a two-hour broadcast of events starting at 5pm on Saturday, so be sure to tune in to that!  Saturday we’ll have a full recap of what has already been a spectacular showing at the Penn Relays by Poly.
