Haley Crouser

We're taking a lot at every national record on the girls side and predicting if it can be broken

The girls javelin has been an event that has remained steady nationally through much of the last four seasons.

Nearly 800 of the country’s top high school and young collegiate athletes will compete at the USA Junior Track & Field Championships June 15-17 in Bloomington, Ind.

Welcome to Track Chats 2012! We continue with javelin superstar Haley Crouser from Gresham HS in Oregon.  Haley has big expectations for the 2012 outdoor season, especially with the Olympic Trials coming this summer.  Few could predict, however, that she would come out in her first meet, the Aloha Relays, and launch a HS record toss of 181-02!

Alexa Efraimson Tatum Taylor ran 10.65 and Justin Brown jumped 23-08 to lead the guys.   Hannah Cunliffe ran 11.77, while Alexa Efraimson topped Paige Rice in an exciting 1500.

Paige Rice won the girls' 3K easily at the Oregon Relays in 9:55.   Dan Oekerman of Beaverton pulled away off the final turn to top Wolfgang Beck of Gig Harbor.  The time for  Oekerman was 8:41, which gave him a second advantage over Beck. 

Dickson, Harris & Krotzer moved to 3-4-5 on the NAtionalList for 2012.   A National Record in the Javelin at Aloha by Haley Crouser and three national top five times in the Men's Mile at Pasco top the action for the weekend.  That said, there was plenty of action throughout the area and some high quality performances.
