The Indoor State Meet Bids Farewell To Cornell In Record Fashion

Event Info: 2015 Winner: Page Duca (Friends' Academy) 4:36.42, State Record: 4:07.05, Meet Record: 4:24.25, State Qualifier Mark (FAT): 4:49.54

State of the Action:  

The seeded section didn't take long to string out.  Diana Vizza pulled ahead early, chased closely by Kaitlyn Tuohy and Julia Flower.  Tight behind them, Megan Reilly was leading a chase pack that included herself, Caroline Timm, and Lily Flynn, all the top seeds in the event.  Vizza continued to lead from the front, as she is known for, with runners slowly dropping off one by one. 

By 400m, it was a two girl race between Vizza and Tuohy, and the pair exchanged surges throughout.  Vizza hammered into the final lap, and Tuohy tried to run past.  Yet, Vizza held on to the lead, not giving up the clear path ahead once during the race. As she approached the finish, she drifted into lane 3, unaware that Tuohy was closing tight behind her, but it wouldn't be enough to prevent the win.

Behind them, Megan Reilly had continued to move through dropped runners, but Caroline Timm had been aggressive enough to move into third place, holding off the field in the final straightaway.
