A contingent of seven Virginia schools ventured across the Chesapeake Bay to compete in the University of Maryland-Eastern Shore Lid-Lifter Invitational on Saturday with Centreville, James Robinson, Lakeland, McLean, Oakton, Western Branch, and Woodside. Three early season state leading performances were turned in at the meet. Centreville sophomore Britni Finch nearly PR\'d by two feet indoors in winning the long jump with a jaw-dropping leap of 19-7.50. Meanwhile, Oakton senior James Phillips got his state qualifier out of the way in his opening race of the season as he won the 3200 meter run in a time of 9:37.13. The James Robinson boys currently have the fastest 4x400 meter relay team in the state after opening at the UMES Invite with a win in the event with a 3:32.24 clocking.
