FLAGLER PALM COAST - Fleming Island High junior distance runner Andrew Miller and his teammate junior Evan Fuller had a mission at Saturday’s 13th annual Flagler Technical Institute-East Coast Track Classic at Flagler Palm Coast High School. Set a new record.
With the Fleming Island High 3200 meters record set at 10 minutes, five seconds, both Miller and Fuller, who have gone to the state cross country meet in consecutive years, thought back to back five minute miles would be doable.
“We have both run under five minute miles pretty consistently,” said Fuller. “If we stay on pace with the faster guys that will be here, we should do it.”
Faster guys that were there were very fast indeed with Creekside teammates Matthew Clark and Nicholas Deal both throwing out 4:16.80 and 4:23.31 1600 meter runs earlier in the night, respectively.
Clark won the 3200 in 9:28.44 with Deal at 9:45.59 in third behind Winter Springs’ Matt Doyle at 9:40.02 while Miller hung on to the tail end of that fast pack to finish in 9:49.54 to break the record with Fuller finishing in a sprint at 10:00.15 to garner the second fastest time in school history.
“They were fast up front,” said Fuller. “We just try to stay in contact.”
Fleming Island’s boys 4 x 400 relay team of Cameron Dill, Felipe Fernandez, Josh Harris and Spencer Shaw won over Flagler in a quick 3:32.02 with Flagler near two seconds in second place.
Other top finishers for the Fleming Island boys were hurdler Luc Larsen who took fourth in the 110 high hurdles and third in the 300 hurdles with sprinter Anfernee McCaskill getting second in the 100 in 10.99 just behind Queshaun Byrd of Flagler’s 10.91.
Paris Williams took second in the 400 in 52.97 with teammate Felipe Fernandez sixth in 54.69. In the 800, Fleming Island’s Spencer Shaw took fourth in 2:00.75 with Creekside’s Joseph Storey winning in a very fast 1:53.60.
For the Fleming Island girls, sprinter Ashley Johnson took 10th in the 200 while hurdler Kayla Armstrong was 10th in the 300 hurdles. Miler Madelyn Stevenson was 12th in 5:44.02.
