ROANOKE, Va. – Some familiar faces were in the spotlight in New York at the Nike Indoor Nationals Track and Field competition.
The Ballout Track Club of Southwest Virginia claimed the fastest time in the nation in the boys 4x200 meter relay race. The team of Jonathan Vernon, Josiah Persinger, DaRon Wilson and Peyton Lewis clocked a time of 1:28.40 to take the top spot.
The team is coached by Darryl McCoy II and Tra Wilson. Their should be no shock if these athletes look familiar. This same relay team was featured on 10 Sports back in January when the Salem track team initially ran into the national spotlight, ranked first in the nation.
On Saturday night, the team proved they truly are the top team by posting the top time. Sunday, the team even had their names in the big lights on a video board in Times Square.
