Breaking: Tuscarora Girls Take 5th at AA State Cross Country Meet; Loudoun County's Patrick Joseph 2nd in Boys Race

(Nov. 10, 2012) - The Tuscarora High School girls cross country team capped a wonderful season in The Plains today with a fifth place finish at the VHSL AA state meet. In the boys race Loudoun County senior Patrick Joseph finished off his brilliant Raider career with a second place finish. In 2011 he was fourth overall and as a sophomore he was 18th.

Check back for complete results later today.

Cheer: Briar Woods, Broad Run, Stone Bridge, Tuscarora Compete for State Titles Today at VCU

(Nov. 10, 2012) - Four Loudoun competitive high school cheer teams will compete for VHSL state titles today at VCU in Richmond with Briar Woods and Tuscarora in the AA state meet and Broad Run and Stone Bridge in the AAA state meet.

Tuscarora making its first state appearance, competes at 1:50 p.m. in the prelims. Briar Woods, the 3-time defending state champion, is last up of the 16 AA schools at 3:03 p.m.

Broad Run preforms in prelims at 5:44 with Stone Bridge at 5:57.

Golf: Local Golfers Make Bid for State Title at AA Tournament

(Oct. 9, 2012) - Loudoun golfers are making a strong bid to bring the Virginia High School League AA individual state title back home for a second straight year with a trio -- Heritage's Ryan Douglass and Ryan O'Sullivan and Loudoun Valley's Ian Hildebrand -- all shooting 73 Monday to sit one off the pace of co-leaders at 72.

It appears unlikely that Loudoun will celebrate any team titles as Dulles District champion Dominion had a tough opening day, shooting 337 as a team to sit last in the 8-team field for the two-day event at Lakeview Golf Club in Harrisonburg. The Titans were paced by Erik Dulik's 76 and defending state champion Sam Stilwell's 80.

Track and Field: Broad Run's Russell Wins 300 Meter Hurdles; SB's Yarborough 5th in 110 Hurdles; Freedom Girls 4x100 Takes 7th at AAA State Meet

(June 14, 2012) - Broad Run High School senior Jonathan Russell finished a brilliant prep career with a first place finish at the AAA state track and field meet earlier this month. Russell, who will run in college at South Carolina, ran a 37.95 to win the 300 meter hurdles by almost a full second. He was also 9th in the 200 meters.

Also on the boys side, Stone Bridge sophomore D'Ante Yarborough finished fifth in the 110 meter hurdles with a 14.56 finals.

The Freedom High School girls track and field 4x100 relay team of Amanda Salami, Toni Fletcher, Asia Brown and Cortney O'Connell turned in a 48.66 to place 7th overall.

Recently graduated Fletcher is headed to Coastal Carolina in the fall and Brown is attending VCU. O'Connell, a junior, is committed to play soccer at the University of Miami and Salami is a sophomore.

Eagles freshman Brandon Polk did not place in the top eight but he is a runner to watch out for as he qualified at States in the 100, 200 and 4x100 relay.

Track and Field: Loudoun County Comes Within 2 Points of AA State TItle

Dulles District and Region II Champions Raiders cap stellar season with state runner-up finish

That would have been enough for County to claim the crown but Glass shaved almost 90 seconds off their seed time to sneak into sixth place and score a crucial three points that turned out to be the difference. (It should also be noted that Glass picked up five points in the pole vault, an event that Loudoun athletes are not allowed to compete in). Woodgrove girls took fifth place.

Joseph had a double-title meet claiming the 800 meters with a 1:54.41 and then the 1600 meters with a 4:15.71. Graham won the 400 meters state title with a 49.01.

Wrestling: Loudoun Crowns 2 State Champions! Potomac Falls' Zulkhuu wins AA 152 Title; Freedom's Timbers Takes Down AAA 285 Crown

DaQuante Timbers

(Feb. 19, 2012) - Wrestling state titles have been tough for Loudoun athletes to bring home with just 20 young men achieving the honor in the past 41 years, but on Saturday both Potomac Falls senior Batchka Zulkhuu and Freedom senior DaQuante Timbers captured state championships.

Batchka Zulkhuu

Zulkhuu became the first local wrestler to win a state title, since another Panther Justin Wheaton did it in 2005, when he captured the 152 pound AA championship in Salem. Zulkhuu won by technical fall over Andrew Saunders of Northside in the finals, 21-6, to cap a 52-4 season.

Just hours later, at Robinson High School in Fairfax, Timbers completed a total domination of the 285-pound weight class in AAA with a pin in 3:08 over Jake Pinkston of Robinson. It was the third fall in four matches for Timbers as he needed just 48 seconds to advance to the quarterfinals and 1:19 to make it to the semifinals. His 15-6 semifinal win over Marshall's Matt Crawford was Timbers only match that didn't end early. The victory left Timbers 55-2 on the season.
