FUMA Track takes VPL Championship
After winning the state meet in convincing fashion a week earlier, the Blue Devils worked hard to avoid a let down in the Prep League Championship. The team held its championship form for one last meet in the 2008 Indoor campaign and closed out a super successful season.
Marcus Dowtin won big in the 55 dash and was a close second in the shot put. The distance crew ran a best in the 4x800 against a tough Saint Christopher's crew with a 8:18 clocking. Jeremy Haney ran an incredible 1:58.5 leg and returned to win the 1600 and 1000. His efforts were rewarded with the Running events MVP. Also getting event wins were Chris Pride (300), Darren Simpson (3200), and Austin Ofoma (long jump).
The story of the meet though was Brian Zitterkopf. In very short time the Merit Scholar set a personal best in the 55 hurdles with a 7.98 for second, forced a jump off in the high jump and rallied in the last round of the triple jump with a 44'9 for the victory. The senior was named the meet's MVP.
