WV State Track and Field Meet

What an amazing weekend in Charleston. Many records went down as the high school athletes in the state of West Virginia are getting better and better.

Cabell Midland's Jacob Burcham clamed his first state title on the track in style by winning the 3200 in 9:11 on Friday Evening. He then came back on Saturday and had a day that people will talk about for a LONG time. A little before 11:20 AM, Jacob Burcham ran the fastest 1600 EVER for a high school athlete in West Virginia with a 4:08.80 which broke the State Meet Record, All-Time West Viringia record, and ranked him 5th in the nation. In the 800, Burcham finished 1st with a 1:54.01 beating the old state meet record by .02 in an incredible finish that saw Jefferson's Brandon Doughty going horizontal at the finish.
