F.I.T. Invitational 2013

Oscar Smith senior Michael Cherry rolled out a 1:03.84 500 meter performance on Saturday at the Friends of Indoor Track Invitational at the Prince George County's Sports & Learning Center in Landover, Maryland. Cherry had to work for the win and was pressed by Pikeville (MD) junior Maury Sall (2nd, 1:04.13), but the end result for the 2012 New Balance Outdoor Nationals 400 meter dash champion was a US #1 time and the #11 all-time best performance in Virginia high school indoor history.
