Akile, a 5'8", 150-pound senior running back at LeJeune High, rushed for 490 yards and six touchdowns in 35 carries to set the North Carolina single-game rushing record and surpass the 2,000-yard season rushing mark in a 47--30 win over Dixon High. The LeJeune High Devilpups are all children of active duty U.S. Marines, and this is the first year since Akile was a freshman that his father, Gunnery Sgt. Hal Jones, previously deployed in Iraq and Afghanistan, has been able to watch his son play.

Sarah, a sophomore at Simi Valley High, ran the fastest girls' time at the 3-mile Mt. SAC Invitational (16:59) to repeat as individual champion and lead the Pioneers to the Divisions I and II team sweepstakes title. The reigning D-I champion, Sarah took the lead after the halfway point to win by 32 seconds.

Evan, a senior and co-captain at Quince Orchard High, ran a 16:00.82 to win the Montgomery County Championship 5K at Gaithersburg Farm Park for a personal record and his first-ever major varsity win. He dedicated his race to his mother, Judy, who is fighting cancer that has spread to her bones. She watched from the finish line as Evan pulled away from the race leaders with about 1,000 meters left after he heard his coach yell out, "Do it for your mother," and won by nearly nine seconds.

Her nine-under round (a record she now shares with four other female D-I golfers) included nine birdies and no bogeys. Na won the West Coast Conference championship as a freshman last year and was named the WCC player of the year.

Ostin, an eighth-grade tailback at St. Paul's Episcopal School, ran 27 times for 205 yards and three scores in his first-ever varsity start, a 36--6 win over archrival UMS-Wright Prep.

The 5'7", 156-pound Ostin, who runs a 4.5-second 40-yard dash, has 118 carries for 747 yards and eight touchdowns, as well as one kickoff returned for a score, through Sunday.
