Bayside (Virginia Beach) VA sr Charles Clark garnered 100 bronze on Friday night. Earlier on Saturday he’d anchored the 800 SMR victors to the #3 all-time clocking.
Against a solid field n the 200, which included Great Southwest champ Trey Harts (Barbe HS, Lake Charles LA), he got out well and finished strongly. He let out a triumphant shout of joy after breaking the tape in 20.92 (-0.3w).
After the SMR, he’d said, “I may or may not run the 200 tonight.” The decision to compete was a good one. “I wasn’t necessarily expecting to win, but I always say, ‘expect the unexpected.”
Riding a terrific start, Charles Clark (Virginia Beach, VA), last
year's fourth-place finisher, ran to victory this time around in 20.92.
Clark led wire to wire, throwing his hands skyward in exaltation at the finish.
His winning time was just a click off his personal record, 20.91.
Clark was third in Friday's 100 meter final.
Jeffrey Smith (Kingston, MA) staged a late burst of speed to claim second in
21.15 with Trey Harts (Lake Charles, LA) third in 21.22. Harts was fifth in the
100 on Friday.
The wind reading for the race was a headwind of -0.3
“I knew I was coming in here and do well, but I had no idea I’d do this well,”
said Clark. “This has been an unbelievable weekend. I can’t even put it into
words. To come in here and walk away with two national championships [Clark
anchored his team's victorious 800 meter sprint medley relay earlier in the day]
is something I wouldn’t believe, if you had told me it would happen two weeks
ago. “I finished in the third in the 100, so that makes it even more
remarkable.”

Preliminary Results
by Pete Cava
Brandon Banks, Friday's 100m champion, and Ohio state 200m winner Darrin Conley were
among the casualties in Saturday's qualifying round.
1st heat (-0.8): Trey Harts (Lake Charles, LA) got out very quickly in lane four
to win in 21.31.
2nd heat (-2.1): Banks (New Bern, NC) got a quick start. But Charles Clark
(Virginia Beach, VA) came down the stretch in a hurry, passing Banks for first
in 21.34. Banks was a non-qualifying second in 21.50.
3rd heat (-0.6): Brandon Spradley (Saraland, AL), running in lane three, was a
surprise winner in 21.64. Conley, expected to make Saturday's final, wound up
fifth in 21.91 and failed to advance.
4th heat (-0.5): Antonio Sales (East Chapel Hill, NC) passed muscular Brandon
Saine (Piqua, OH) in the waning meters to win in 21.48. Saine settled for second
in 21.49.
5th heat (-0.8): Jeffrey Smith came up fast at the finish to win in 21.24.
Terrill McCombs (Greenbelt, MD), who led most of the way, was second in 21.32
with Antoine McNeil (New Bern, NC) third in 21.42.
Qualifiers for the final are Smith, Harts, Clark, Sales, Spradley, McCombs,
McNeil and Saine. Clark took fourth in this event in 2005.
