Omaha North’s Breunna McCarty Making Strong Claim for Nebraska’s Fastest Girl Title

Omaha Benson junior Mach Dojiok (right) and Lincoln North Star sophomore Mo Hamdan race to an exciting finish in the Boys 800 meter at the Benson Track and Field Invite. Dojiok took the early lead but Hamdan lead most of the way until Dojiok eventually nudged in front with less than 40 meters to the tape. Dojiok and Hamden both turned in very impressive sub 2 minute performances — 1:55.34 and 1:55. 86 respectively. Both of the early season times are less than 2.5 seconds away from making the Nebraska High School All-Time Top Ten chart.
Breunna McCarty track and field
North’s Breunna McCarty, way out in front, blazes to tape in 12.10. She also won the 200 in 26.01.
For the past few years, Omaha North senior Breunna McCarty may have lurked in the shadows of teammates LaQue Moen-Davis, Maia Reynolds and Brianna McGhee, but the strong-legged, explosive sprinter is making a compelling case to become Nebraska’s fastest girl in 2011.
McCarty has played an instrumental role in helping the Vikings 4X100 relay post the fastest times in Nebraska history—also among the fastest in the country. Now, with Reynolds out for the season, she looks to be the heir apparent to the 100 meter crown.
McCarty bolted to a season’s best 12.10 clocking to win the 100 meters at the Benson Invite. A dedicated and hard working athlete—by all accounts—she shows the potential to post a legitimate sub-12-second 100 meter.  That’s something we haven’t seen around these parts in awhile.
Terrance Bennett, an Omaha Benson junior, also looked impressive wining the boys 100 meter in 11.09 and North’s Terry Grigsby improved his PR to 44′ 6″ to win the triple jump, while Jer’ rell Moore remains consistent in the high jump—setting a meet record with a leap of 6′ 8 and 1/2″. Junior Andy Tatum, Lincoln North Star, set a meet record in the pole vault (13′ 6″).

    Those 800 meter times are incredible for younger guys. Can’t wait to see what they can do at state.
