LANDOVER, Maryland -- The first day of USATF Hershey Youth Indoor Championships crowned two shot put and four long jump champions while all age groups competed in the 55 and 400-meter prelims at Prince George’s Sports and Learning Complex, Friday. 
 
USATF.TV hosted a live broadcast of today’s action with continuing coverage for the duration of the event, starting back up at 9 a.m. on both Saturday and Sunday. 
 
Douglas Dean (Springfield, Virginia) won the 17-18 men’s shot put title with a toss of 15.53m/50-11.5, and Noah Vernick (Gaithersburg, Maryland) was second, throwing 15.47m/50-09.25. Kenneth Nesbitt (Belleville, Illinois) was third with his top throw of 15.06m/ 49-05.00.
 
For the 17-18 women’s shot put title, Egypt Parker (Bronx, New York) threw 13.00m/42-08.00. Ashley Berry (Somerset, New Jersey) came in second place (12.42m/ 40-09.00) and Ja’nique Brown was third (10.43m/ 34-02.75).
 
Long jump champions among nine and 10-year-olds were Avery Lewis (Pakesberg, Pennsylvania) with a leap of 4.43m/ 14-06.50 and Brendon Wyatt (Germantown, Maryland), jumping 4.17m/ 13-08.25. Alliyah Stevens (Alexandria, Virginia) went 5.44m/ 17-10.25 for the 17-18 women’s title and Deshawnte Murray had a winning mark of 6.76m/ 22-02.25 for that age group’s men.
 
Chloe Kearney (Weddington, North Carolina) in the 11-12 girls age division and Nathan Cumberbatch (Shorewood, Wisconsin) for the 9-10 boys each set new national records in the 400m. Kearney’s 1.00.83 lowered the previous age-group standard of 1:02.40, and Cumberbatch finished in 1.03.73 to improve the existing 1.03.84.
 
The 400m competition was too close to call in the 11-12 and 13-14 boys races as both final time qualifiers came down to two-way ties. Saturday will feature runoffs at noon for D’Javi Byers and Foyez Alauddin, who both finished in 7.84 in the 11-12 division. Anthony Woods and Marcus Coleman will also meet again tomorrow after they crossed together in 7.15 among 13-14-year-olds.
 
The top-six, 400m qualifying times for the 8 & Under through the 13-14-year-olds will advance straight to Sunday’s final. The same is true for the top-eight runners from age groups 13-14 and 15-16.
 
Gabrielle White (Silver Springs, Maryland) led wire to wire in the fourth heat of the girls 8 & Under 400m, when she finished in 1:12.46 to cross almost 10 seconds ahead of the closest heat competitor. She was also three seconds ahead of the next best qualifying time.
