The 2016 Five Star Conference Championships were rescheduled due to Hurricane Matthew and will be contested at the Deland Sperling Sports Complex. 10 teams are scheduled to take to the line for Conference honors.
There will be 2 races contested which will be a combination of Varsity and JV runners. We like this option a lot !
Girls Race - 5:30
Boys Race - 6:15
BOYS PREVIEW RUBBER RUNDOWN
The clear favorite going in is Aidon O'Gorman from New Smyrna Beach who is having a great sophomore season so far. His 16:17 PR from the Mt. Dew Invitational was good enough for 4th place overall on that hot, muggy, humid, swampy Saturday, back on September 24th.
Seabreeze Boys and the Boys from New Smryna Beach look destined for a dog-fight. With both teams having solid depth and front-runners, the team championship may very well come down to the 5th man.
Here is the Results Grid for New Smyrna Beach. Note, Mack Jimenez's PR was also set at the UF Mt. Dew Invitational.
We've seen Coach Gallon's Spruce Creek Girls awesome 2016 season so far and today they look to convincingly dominate in all areas. The freshman girls throughout the State have been mightily impressive and Samantha Gayton is amongst the best. Her 19:47 from FLRunners 17 should hold up today unless of course Coach Gallon decides to go tactical knowing the State Series is next up on the calendar.
