VHSL Class 4A Distance Roundup
Mostly everything went to plan for the Loudoun Valley boys on Saturday in the Class 4A indoor championships.
The Vikings cruised to a win in the 4x800 (8.01.87) and saw first-, second-, third-, fourth-, fifth-, and sixth place finishes in the 1600m between Sam Affolder, Colton Bogucki, Connor Wells, Jacob Hunter, Peter Morris and Jacob Windle.
But there were a couple athletes who dethroned the Vikings in two other races where they were potentially seen as favorites.
E.C. Glass's Theo Woods took the 1000m title in 2:30.11, edging Affolder (2:31.27) and Bogucki (2:33.36), while Grafton's Price Owens -- he was less of a surprise -- out kicked Morris in the final stretches to take the 3200m in 9:24.59. Morris was second in 9:24.79 and Wells was third in 9:29.88. Loudoun Valley's Chase Dawson was fourth in 9:42.10.
