BATON ROUGE -- The LSU women

PITT\'S MIKE WRAY BREAKS ROGER KINGDOM\'S HURDLES RECORD. The Pitt junior ran for a time of 7.72 seconds in the 60-meter hurdles.

Plenty of great performances to recap from this weekend as Virginia Tech Invitational was a spring board meet for US #1\'s and US all-time performances, while the St. Christopher\'s Invite held its own as well in the first major invitational ever held at the private school\'s one year old 200 meter indoor track facility.

This was an off-week for most of the collegiate programs. University of New Mexico hosted the Lobo Invitational and University of Washington hosted the Husky Invitational. In prep indoor news Duncan Phillips won the boys mile at Boston in 4:09 and Jillian Rosen ran 5:00. Great job representing Texas.

Joseph Franklin won the boys mile race with a time of 4:21.72, five seconds ahead of Alex Wills who was his closest competitor. Kaitlin Shiver\'s win was much closer, beating out Jackie Drouin of Georgia by just .45 with a time of 4:58.49.

RENO, NV: At the Pole Vault Summit, held annually in Reno, Nev., pole vaulters take center stage and have the spotlight all to themselves. This year, so did Michael Lawryk in being named National High School Coach of the Year.

The 2007 Clemson High School indoor invitational, set for January 27, is a South Carolina High School League sanctioned event.

It was an attack of the sub 11 two milers from the Virginia girls this weekend with three runners dipping well under the 11 minutes this weekend. Homeschooled junior star Aurora Scott ran a US #1 time of 10:29.12 at the Asics Invitational in Lynchburg, while Deep Run senior Courtlin LaReau challenged her through a 5:12 first mile and held on for a US #3 time of 10:45.86. Incredibly both were newbies to the event indoors with this weekend being Scott\'s first indoor meet. Meanwhile, Chantilly sophomore Lia DiValentin clocked a US #5 time of 10:49.11 on Friday evening at UNC\'s Eastern Challenge.

Competition runs deep in the veins of Americans. We tend to turn everything into a contest. Out of that competitive drive (and a love for both track & field and Mexican food) has arisen the new sport soon to be sweeping the nation: the Burrito Mile. This event is a perfect union of speed eating and running (and as a side effect also tends to be quite messy).
