Covering Cross Country and Track & Field in West Virginia

Fink, Lindley, Von Wulffen Climb The Charts

Morgantown Benjamin Fink won the USATF National Youth Championships in the 100 Meter Dash with a clocking of 10.60. That time moves him up to 6th All-Time in the event. Woodrow Wilson's Vance Lindley dropped a 1:52.97 to win the 800 Meter Run at the Pre-Nationals: ECE Meet of Champions. That time moves him up to 5th All-Time in the Event. Winfield's Juliana Von Wulffen clocked a 2:11.47 at the NC Runners Elite Tune Up to move up to 6th All-Time in that event.

Fletcher, Geveke Named Gatorade Players of the Year

Herbert Hoover's Maysen Fletcher and Huntington's Carter Geveke were named WV Gatorade Players of the Year for 2026. Fletcher won a trio of events at the State Meet, and Geveke broke a 35+ year old All-Time Best mark at the State Meet.

Fletcher 3rd at Brooks PR Invitational

Herbert Hoover's Maysen Fletcher continued her post-season run at the Brooks PR Invitational on June 7. She grabbed 3rd place with a time of 4:40.86. That converts to a 4:39.23 for 1600 which is #3 on WV's All-Time List (she already had that spot, but this bettered it). She closed in 1:06.42 to move from 4th to 3rd on the final lap after running 5th for the first two laps.

All-Time Marks Established

There were two new All-Time bests recorded at the State Meet. Huntington's Carter Geveke ran 37.48 in the 300 Meter Intermediate Hurdles. The WVSSAC recognizes Clink Hayes' 37.4 at the State Meet in 1990 as the record, but that appears to be a hand-time, which converts to 37.64, leaving Geveke's mark as the new standard in RunWV's view. Parkersburg's 4x400 Meter Relay broke their mark set a year ago with WV's first ever sub-3:20 clocking. The group of Landen Deuley, Gavin Bowman, Rogan Mincks, and A.J. Payne went an incredible 3:19.70, taking just shy of 2 seconds off the previous mark.

State Championships in the Books

The 2026 State Championships are in the books. Congratulations to our Team Champions - Wheeling Central, Williamstown, Greenbrier East, and Huntington on the girls' side and Wahama, Doddridge, Point Pleasant, and Morgantown/Huntington on the boys' side. And Congratulations to our new State Meet Record Holders: Annie Whited - Greenbrier East (200 Meter Dash - 24.64), and East Hardy (4x100 Meter Relay - 42.85 - Khristian Bauserman, Nehemiah Graham, Mason Hamilton, Evan Hamilton), and of course, every event winner in Class AAAA. As it was a new division, every winner now holds the State Meet Record.

Greenbrier East, Whited Set All-Time Marks, McClintic joins Sub-5:00 Club

At the Dogwood Classic this weekend, Greenbrier East had a field day...or a track day rather. Annie Whited set a new All-Time State Best in the 200 Meter Dash with a 24.13 clocking, crushing the old record by 0.23 seconds. She added a #3 All-Time Best in the 100 Meter Dash with an 11.91. Neena McClintic scored a #9 All-Time Best and ' joined the sub-5:00 club with a 4:54.95. The 4x100 Meter Relay team of Noelle McClintic, Annie Whited, Avery Thompson, and Kiana McClung ran a #6 All-Time 48.66. To close things out the 4x400 Meter Relay team of Kiana McClung, Noelle McClintic, Neena McClintic, and Annie Whited set another All-Time mark with a 3:56.47, destroying the previous record by over 2.5 seconds.

Yates Joins Sub-5:00 Club, Von Wulffen Crushes 800

Musselman's Sadie Yates has joined the sub-5:00 1600 club with a 4:59.34 clocking at the Wolverine Classic Invitational. Winfield's Juliana Von Wulffen made a triumphant return to the track by blasting a 2:13.95 in the 800 at the Carlos Akers & Doc Hale Memorial Invitational.

Whited Scores #4 All-Time Mark

In a strong season opener at the Spartan Relay Plus Warmup, Greenbrier East's Annie Whited ran the #4 All-Time 200 Meter Dash with a 24.78 clocking.

Fletcher 5th at New Balance Nationals

Herbert Hoover's Maysen Fletcher clocked an amazing 16:17.23 in the 5000 at the New Balance Indoor Nationals today to score 5th place in the event.

Zundell Breaks 4:00

Former University High School standout Drew Zundell, now running for Syracuse University, became just the 3rd West Virginian to crack the 4:00 Mile (following Chris Fox and Jacob Burcham I believe) with a 3:59.04 at the David Hemery Valentine Invitational at Boston University on Friday.

Contribution Season

As always, I'm accepting donations. Please view the Wall of Support for details. Every little bit helps pay for the site expenses. What I'd ideally like to see happen is for each team to send $1 per athlete per season ($1 for Track and $1 for Cross Country). That way no one is emptying their pockets much, but the site is still well-supported.

Submitting Meet Results

I thought I'd put up a reminder about how to submit meet results. Our preferred method to received results is via E-Mail. The best method is to send me a backup copy of the meet if you're using Hy-Tek software. Then I can extract all the information we want. Otherwise, you can E-Mail a text file, a Microsoft Word File, a Microsoft Excel File, or an HTML file.
