New Balance Outdoor Nationals 2014

The Flo 100 presented by ASICS is a rankings list of the top high school outdoor track & field performances nationally according to results and performances entered in the MileSplit database as of June 12th. In a special edition with the New Balance Nationals this weekend, we have added the additional events which will be contested at the national meet and changed the 1600/3200 lists to mile and two mile lists.

The New Balance Nationals Outdoor will be held this year on June 13th through 15th in Greensboro, North Carolina. Each year, meet management releases entry list updates leading up to the event that show the competitors in each event by alphabetical order, but never shows the actual seed times or rankings for the events since they take in several factors beyond just a personal best or season best performance for heat and section assignment which is completely understandable as they try to match up the best of the best in country at that given time in the top sections of events. However, since MileSplit has a powerful and accurate database with virtually all of these athlete's personal bests and season bests, we are going to take a stab at putting together unofficial "performance lists" for each event and ranking the individuals and relays going into their meet based on their PR's for individuals and season bests for relays.

After so many excellent performances both by individuals and relays it is time to look back and let you decide what the best performance for VA was at the 2014 New Balance Outdoor National Championship. 

New Balance Outdoor Nationals is only days away. Here are the Virginia entries as of 6/9/14. The Virginia athletes competing are all listed here and bolded for ease of finding them. This list will be updated shortly before the meet begins.

Note: Learned after the fact that East Brunswick (NJ) won with top time overall from a slower section.

The New Balance Nationals Outdoor will be held this year on June 13th through 15th in Greensboro, North Carolina. Each year, meet management releases entry list updates leading up to the event that show the accepted competitors in each event by alphabetical order, but never shows the actual seed times or rankings for the events since they take in several factors beyond just a personal best or season best performance for heat and section assignment which is completely understandable as they try to match up the best of the best in country at that given time in the top sections of events. However, since MileSplit has a powerful and accurate database with virtually all of these athlete's personal bests and season bests, we are going to take a stab at putting together unofficial "performance lists" for each event and ranking the individuals and relays going into their meet based on their PR's for individuals and season bests for relays.

Some of North Carolina's best still have things to prove on the national stage, and some may be satisfied with their careers.

The 2014 Class A state finals might not have gone quite as well as Admiral Farragut's Brittany McGee had hoped. She only got in two jumps in long jump on a wet track and she injured her ankle during the 300m hurdle final and both hurdle marks in the 100m and 300m were off her personal best of the season. Still, McGee took home a third place medal in long jump and she was still plenty better than the rest of the field in the hurdle events, winning both.
