Price honored: Chanelle Price has been named USA Track & Field's athlete of the week after breaking a national record in the 800 meters Saturday at the Pennsylvania Interscholastic Athletics Association Track and Field Championships in Shippensburg, Penn. Price, a senior at Easton High School, dominated the girls 800 meters, crossing the finish line in 2 minutes, 2.90 seconds. She finished almost 10 seconds ahead of the runner-up. Her performance broke four-time Olympian Joetta Clark-Diggs' National Federation of High Schools record (2:04.50). The time was fast enough to earn a "B" qualifier for the Olympic Trials, and Price has also been added to the field for the Prefontaine Classic.
