Pendleton sophomore Jasmin Stowers held on to the fastest time of the day at the Eastern High School Challenge in Durham, N.C. earlier today in 8.01 seconds to win the 55-meter hurdles, tying the meet record (Gabby Mayo, SE Raleigh 2006). Video courtesy of ncrunners.com.

After such a great weekend for North Carolina at the Eastern High School Challenge and the Virginia Tech Invitationa, it seems crazy to bring up something negative. However, this must be SEEN!

Here is a closer look at the Eastern High School Challenge. There were obvious problems with the entry times and the performance standards. Many coaches are entering athletes with seeded times to simply get them into the meet. I talked with many coaches during the meet and most coaches are upset with all the "tweaking" of times. Obviously, this does not take into account falls, injuries, bad races, etc.

So, I have highlighted all the marks that didn't meet the performance standards. Then I figured out a number of averages . . . hope you find this interesting.

Kelsey McCorkle of South Central will lead the girl's sprints. 

The Eastern High School Challenge is the 2nd meet this season at the Eddie Field House on Chapel Hill's campus. There was a bit of confusion leading up to the NC Opener as the Durham Striders had to create performance standards because the entries were so abundant.

This meet looks to be great as many of NC's best will be in attendance, however - there are still issues with entries. 

Performance standards have been set for this meet since it's beginnings. However, coaches often only look at these standards like, "How fast will I have to fudge my athletes marks to get them into the meet?"

I'm still amazed, after all the talk, that coaches continue to enter marks which aren't even close to what their athletes can do.

I know some athletes will have bad races and will not meet the standards due to that reason. After the meet, NCRunners will definitely revisit the standards and do a bit of analysis. Take a look at this analysis from the NC Opener (scroll down).
