Lady Royals Set New Records At Panhandle Championship
April 6, 2011
Robin Blackman and Leely Trevino led the Jay Royals to an impressive finish at the Panhandle Championships held this past Friday at Washington High School.
Sixteen high schools across three counties gathered for one of the area’s largest meets on the area’s newest track.
Blackman and Trevino, both seniors, are Florida Elite Runners in cross country and are the top two scorers for the Royals. Robin has scored 223 points, and Leely has scored 173 points for the season.
On Friday, Robin broke the school record in the 800-meter run with a time of 2:26.75. Trista Talbot previously set the record in 2009.
Leely was the overall female champion in the 1600-meter run with a personal record time of 5:37.09.
Other impressive finishes came in the 4×800 relay where the Royals relay team of Blackman, Trevino, Jessica Thornton and Caristyn Golden placed fourth with their tri-season best time of 10:20.81 — only five seconds off the school record that was set in 2005.
The 4×400 relay team of Blackman, Trevino, Golden and Katelyn Warrick managed an 8th place with a time of 4:30.98. T
In the discus Samantha Cerqueria placed sixth with a throw of 88’ 9”.

Jay Girl, 11, Top Overall Female In Duathlon
March 31, 2011
Jay student athlete Jorja Agrait finished as the top overall female in the 2011 Inaugural MPI Maritime Deluna Kids Duathlon this past weekend.
A duathlon is a unique athletic event that involves a run-bike-run routine. Agrait raced in the 11-12 Conquerors Division by competing in a half mile run, three mile bike, and one mile run. The younger divisions did a slightly shorter distance.
Agrait also competes on the Jay High School JV track and cross country teams. She is no stranger to being on the winner’s stand — she was the Overall Junior Champion in the Great Pumpkin 5K held in Pensacola back in November, 2010.
The 11-year old’s personal best times are 6:27 for the mile, 13:29 for the two mile run, and has run 21 minutes for a 5K.
