Morrison (front) and McNeill are also re-writing the North Carolina All-Time List in that event (photo by Jeff Sides from earlier this season).
Forsyth County held its third meet of the season yesterday at JDL Fast Track, and the unquestioned highlight was the girls 500. That's when Parkland's McKinley McNeill exploded with a 1:14.27, the #1 indoor time in the country so far this season and the 3rd-fastest time in North Carolina history! Behind her came teammate Erin Morrison with a 1:15.79, which put her at US #2, giving the Mustangs the top 2 spots in the national rankings. Morrison's time ranks 11th All-Time in our state, as well. Both McNeill and Morrison will be competing in the Elite 400 at the David Oliver Classic on February 7th.
