Carolina's track and field team delivered a strong performance on day one of the Eagle Invitational in Boston, with Ethan Strand breaking a 50-year school record in the mile, clocking 3:54.62. Makayla Paige also impressed by finishing second overall in the women's 800-meter.

This kid has been dominating around Bham for a while. Fun to see him on the college stage now.

His dad was a great runner in his prime and just missed making the 04 team in the marathon.

It has been fun watching those distance guys the last couple of years. My daughter is a high school sophomore now at Vestavia and does sprints and relays, and those guys on their 800/1600s are great. Several run XC as well and will do the 1600/3200 at the track meets. Of course Hoover runs away with the team scores since they have so many athletes in every event, but Vestavia does very well in anything that isn't a sprint.
