Stephanie Brown sets Arkansas School Record in 1000m

Copy of stephanie_brown

Arkansas Razorback’s Stephanie Brown (Downs Tri-Valley ’09) sets Arkansas School Record in 1000m at the Arkansas Invitational

From the Arkansas Blog “And with that, the women’s 1,000 meters is on the track with Razorback junior Stephanie Brown in the field with Kristen Gillespie setting the pace (and stepping off the field), Brown out to a big lead.

Brown wins the 1,000 meters in 2:42.83…nearly 20 seconds faster than the second-place runner.

The run by Brown will go down as a new school record in the 1,000 meters, surpassing the previous mark of 2:43.82 set by Melody Sye in 1987.”

Pupil becomes teacher as Lane takes over for Loyet at East

belleville_east

BY DEAN CRIDDLE – News-Democrat

BELLEVILLE —    When Mascoutah native Josh Lane arrived at Belleville East seven years ago, he had never attended a high school track meet.

Earlier last fall, the 30-year-old former member of the Gateway Grizzlies baseball team took over the reins of one of the premier boys track and field programs in the state when he was named as the Lancers new head coach.

“The first track meet I ever saw was my first as an assistant under coach (Jim) Loyet six years ago. Obviously, I still have a lot to learn about coaching track as a lot of people do,” Lane said earlier in the week. “But you prepare the kids to be successful. The same principles work in all sports. If they’re well prepared, know what to expect and have high standards, they’ll be held accountable.”
