Southeast Raleigh's Wayne Davis II added another national record Sunday during the 41st annual USATF National Junior Olympic Track & Field Championships on the campus of Mt. San Antonio College in Walnut, Calif.

Davis, 15, set the national record for intermediate boys (15-16 years old) in the 110-meter high hurdles. His 13.74 chipped .08 seconds off the previous record held by Clayton's Johnny Dutch (13.82) in 2005.

Earlier this month, Davis won the 110 high hurdles gold medal in the IAAF World Youth Championships in Ostrava, Czech Republic, setting a world youth record with a 13.18 over 36-inch hurdles. He ran over 39-inch hurdles in the Junior Olympic championships.

Southern Durham graduate Patience Coleman won the young women (17-18 years old) high jump with a jump of 5 feet, 8.75 inches.

Northern Durham's Austin Davis was fifth in the young men's triple jump with a leap of 49 feet, 9.75 inches. Davis missed the N.C. High School Athletic Association championships this season after injuring his hamstring in the regionals.

FOOTBALL PRACTICE: Football practice officially began Monday for most N.C. High School Athletic Association schools.

The NCHSAA requires players to use the first six days of practice for conditioning. Players may wear helmets, shorts, shirts and football shoes during the first three days but no shoulder pads. On each player's fourth day, he may add shoulder pads, but body-to-body contact is prohibited until the seventh day of practice.

The requirements are per player, not per team. All players must have six days of conditioning before beginning regular practice and workouts.

Players may not participate in scrimmages against other teams until they have completed the six conditioning and three days of practice in full pads with body-to-body contact.
