No matter how she finishes at Saturday's Dream 100 Tamari Davis has made history.

Davis says being invited to a meet of this caliber is a huge honor.

The 2A state champion in the 800, 1600, and 3,200 proved she belonged with the best runners in the nation Friday night pushing the pace with the likes of Kate Murphy, Katie Rainsberger, and Nevada Mareno of North Carolina. With splits around 68 seconds for each of her first three laps, and a last 300m around 50 seconds, Collier finished with a US#6 time of 4:19.05.

The Adidas Dream 100 and Dream Mile have been very kind to Florida athletes over the past five years in the events history that featured both races. In 2010, Lily Williams competed in the first individual high school race at the Adidas Grand Prix's Dream Mile in New York City. This year's event will feature five Florida athletes in the Adidas Boost Boston Games. Tamari Davis, Amuru Patterson, and Katia Seymour will run the Dream 100 while Caitlin Collier is in the girls mile which will be contested instead as 1,500m. American Heritage sophomore Anthony Schwartz is Florida's lone entrant in the boys Dream 100 and owns a PR of 10.27w.The Adidas Dream 100 and Dream Mile have been very kind to Florida athletes over the past five years in the events history that featured both races. In 2010, Shelby Hates competed in the first individual high school race at the Adidas Grand Prix's Dream Mile in New York City and finished second. Since then Florida sprinters have won six Dream 100 titles (three boys and three girls).
In the past, Palatka High School has been the joke of Jacksonville area track and field. Until the past few years, Palatka has never been relevant in postseason meets, as a team, or with individuals. That all changed when Coach Steven Gonzalez took over the program 5 years ago. This year Palatka took home multiple state titles, including 3 by Junior Katia Seymour. Seymour tore up the track this year winning the 100, 200, and anchoring the 4x100 relay team to gold at the 2A State Finals. Recently she won the Great Southwest Classic 100m in a time of 11.26. This weekend she will be taking on some of the nations best, as she competes in both the adidas Boost Boston Games, and New Balance Outdoor Nationals. She will contest the Dream 100 in Boston, and the 200 in Greensboro.
