\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \"\"<\/a>You have heard it said, \u201cGo West Young Man!\u201d But for this Sunday, that call came for a new direction, \u201cGo East Young Men, Go East!\u201d And, to the USATF East Region Open & Club Championships these men went. From Right to Left (Pictured Above), Lee Prowell, Adam Harris, and Jeremy Bascom were the top three fastest men of the day respectively, with Lee finishing the 100m Dash in a blazing time of 10.34 seconds. Athletes from 11 USATF Associations descended upon Ichabod Crane High School Sports Complex to compete at the 2009 East Region event. With warm temperatures and mostly cloudy skies, it was a great day for competition, not too hot, not too wet, but just right.<\/div>\n
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 This Championship event comes with a $2,400 Prize Purse, providing $400 to the top Men\u2019s and Women\u2019s teams, along with $500 for the top Male and Female athlete in Travel Stipends to attend the USATF National Championships at Icahn Stadium. The undisputed Champion in both divisions was Conquest, with the Women outscoring 2nd Place Colonial Track Club by only 7 points, and the Men edging out Zenith Velocity by only 6 points.<\/div>\n
