55m
 
Event Info: 2013 Winner: Kadecia Baird (Medgar Evers) 7.08, State Record: 6.82, Meet Record: 6.94 ( or 6.6 handheld converted to maybe 6.84), State Qualifier Mark (FAT): 7.44
 
State of the Action:  Running the rounds at the state meet is a much different task than winning a single invitational heat at the Armory.  Brenessa Thompson managed to keep the State Title at Medgar Evers for one more year, winning the short sprint after recovering from an injury in the early season.

State of the Action:   Don't call it a comeback, because Emma Gallagher has never seen anything but the top of the podium for 600m.  Winning three years straight, Gallagher saw worthy challengers in Sammy Watson and Yazmin Wilson-Jones, but Emma was able to kick past them down the final stretch, in her patented style.

State of the Action:   It's never a dull moment with Erin Jaskot in the race.  A year ago, it was Jazmine Fray edging out Jaskot at Indoor Nationals by a nose for a medal.  Last week, it was Wilson-Jones getting the last second edge.  But today, Jaskot was able to get that final step in, and grab a state title in her senior year.

State of the Action:   The race separated quicker than expected, with Tiana Guevera hammering from the gun, and only Laura Leff making the bold move to go with her.  However, with a lap to go, it was Anikka Avery with a huge kick to give the girls final motivation, and the trio sprinted to the line, with new State Leading marks,1 through 3.

Event Info: 2013 Winner: Bella Burda (Arlington) 9:56.78, State Record: 9:04.51 (standard track), Meet Record: 9:29.89, State Qualifier Mark (FAT): 10.21.14
 
State of the Action:  The race was loaded with top XC talent.  Girls who peaked perfectly for their state meet.  For the girls of Section 4, who had been only running modest times this season, both had coaches who said they had a big race waiting in the tanks.  If ever there was a race, this was it.  Freshmen Jessica Lawson looked like a seasoned pro, as observers could tell with just four laps to go, she looked mighty relaxed running in the third place position.  Hearing the bell lap, the Class B XC State Champ dropped the competition behind her, and sprinted to an over 20-second PR in the event, after only putting in 25-mile weeks this season in training. Just wait until outdoors.

4x800m relay
 
Event Info: 2013 Winner: Bronxville 9:20.84, State Record: 8:53.67, Meet Record: 9:08.77
 
State of the Action:   Coming back from doubling, the Cardozo girls managed to grab the win, after some very even legs with Suffern and Burnt Hills.  However, by the time the baton had reached Denise Branch, there was a 15-meter gap, and the race was all but decided.
