Region III Championship
Hoschton, Georgia
July 7-10, 2011
The Region III Championships were held in Hoschton, Ga. This event was four days of blazing
heat and the Allstar team was on fire. Region III consists of the top five athletes in each
respective event from North Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia, Georgia, and Potomac Valley
associations. By the end of the weekend 12 athletes were qualified to participate in the Junior
Olympics National Championships to be held in Wichita, Ks.
Jamaree Murray and Pierce Holloway were each gold medal winners. Murray was a double
winner in the intermediate boys 400 and 200 meter dash. Murray won with times of 49.56 and
22.73 seconds respectively. Holloway won the intermediate boys 2000 meter steeplechase
after only competing in the event for the second time. He was able to overcome five laps of
barriers including water jumps to achieve a new personal best time of 7 minutes 16.66
seconds.
Silver medal winners were Jalen Ware, Omarion Hampton and Brian Davis. Ware grabbed the
runner up position in the intermediate boys’ high jump. He finished with leap of 5 feet 10.75
inches. Hampton was second in the sub-bantam boys’ long jump. His best jump of the
competition was 10 feet 7.75 inches. He also participated in the 100 and 200 meters. Hampton
was tenth in the 100 meters and ninth in the 200 meters. Brian Davis was second in the 400
meter dash. He finished with a time of 49.59 seconds. The young men’s 400 meter dash was
