Wesley Frazier (NC) left little doubt as to who the best runner in the country is after the 2011 outdoor track season. The Ravenscroft harrier created her own form of history at the 2011 NBON meet by winning two events and finished an impressive third in another. Frazier won the 5000 meter run with a sophomore record of 16:24.83 after taking control of the race late. She then came back in the 2 mile and finished third with an impressive 10:10.86 clocking. She could have stopped right there and cemented her legacy as a super-soph, but Frazier was also entered in the mile.Live Coverage of the World Champs from Daegu on UniversalSports.com

High School Sports Participation Continues Upward Climb
INDIANAPOLIS, IN (August 23, 2011) — Participation in high school sports increased for the 22nd consecutive school year in 2010-11, according to the annual High School Athletics Participation Survey conducted by the National Federation of State High School Associations (NFHS). Based on figures from the 50 state high school athletic/activity associations, plus the District of Columbia, that are members of the NFHS, sports participation for the 2010-11 school year reached another record-breaking total of 7,667,955 participants. Boys and girls participation figures also reached respective all-time highs with 4,494,406 boys and 3,173,549 girls participating in 2010-11 – an overall increase of 39,578 participants from 2009-10. “While the overall increase was not as much as we’ve seen in the past few years, we are definitely encouraged with these totals given the financial challenges facing our nation’s high schools,” said Bob Gardner, NFHS executive director. “The benefits of education-based athletics at the high school level are well-documented, and we encourage communities throughout the nation to keep these doors of opportunity open.
