The Vestavia Hills (AL) High School distance duo of Crawford West and Ethan Strand cleaned house in the distance events at the 2021 AHSAA State Indoor Meet. Strand, a University of Nort Carolina recruit in his final indoor season, and West, a junior, each won the 800m, 1600m and 3200m.
Strand posted times of 1:51.08 for 800m, 4:17.47 for 1,600m and 9:15.39 for 3,200m. His 1:51.08 is a new CrossPlex Record and a Class 7A state record, while his 3,200m is a new Class 7A state record as well -- not finished, though, he also ran in the team's winning 4x400.
West ran 2:12.93 for 800m, 4:59.58 for 1600m and 10:58.27 for 3,200m. Her time in the 1,600m was a new state Class 7A record.
