With spring track and field in full gear, let’s call a timeout to reflect on some blasts from the past.

Numerous area athletes have popped up on an impressive, recently released list of Virginia’s all-time, outdoor high school track and field performers.

The list was authored by Nolan Jez and was published on MileStat.com, a website with Virginia high school track and field news.

Jez’s list combines all enrollment classifications among public and private schools. In some events, Jez’s lists goes more than 100 deep. The list does not include athletes who competed in the Virginia Interscholastic Association (VIA) prior to its merger with the all-white Virginia High School League in the 1960s.

Jez’s records date to at least 1972, the year Ferguson High School’s Ronnie Ray set a national 400 mark of 45.74 at the state meet.

Ray’s mark has since been eclipsed by Woodrow Wilson’s LaShawn Merritt (45.24) in 2004.

Jefferson-Huguenot-Wythe (JHW) complex was one of three schools between 1980 and 1985 that were athletic mergers, of sorts, of the city’s comprehensive high schools.

Jim Holdren, now coaching at Maggie L. Walker Governor’s School, was head coach of the Jefferson-Huguenot-Wythe Trojans track.

Former Jefferson-Huguenot-Wythe sprinter Martin Smith is listed on a similar list of indoor performers. Smith holds the 55-meter mark of 6.17 set in 1983.

Other Richmond complex high schools were the Marshall-Walker Cavaliers and the Armstrong-Kennedy Jaguars.
