New York's Stars Shine Bright At State Championships

 

   
Girls 55m Hurdles
Event Info: 2014 Winner: Ashley Wiggins (New Rochelle) 7.95, State Record: 7.76, Meet Record: 7.85, State Qualifier Mark (FAT): 8.74

State of the Action: The New York State Meet is as good a place to PR as any.  Especially when it is what separates you from a state title.

The challenge was thrown out in the preview, that for New Rochelle to hang on to their State Title, some improvements needed to be made.  Victoria Jones-Alleyne did just that, dropping two-tenths of a second off her personal best in the hurdle final, overthrowing the early race favorite.  Only a junior, Jones-Alleyne will be back next year to keep on defending that title.
