Four High Schoolers Taking On The Pros At Millrose

Women's 800 Meters


Who: 600m national record holder Sammy Watson (Rush-Henrietta Sperry HS)

Current PR: 2:03.94

National Record to Chase: Mary Decker (Orange, CA) - 2:01.80 - 1974

Breakdown: After coming up short in Boston three weeks ago, Sammy Watson is taking another shot at that 800m national record. She moved to U.S. No. 3 all time, just behind Mary Decker's long-standing mark and the New York State Record set by Sabrina Southerland (Benjamin Cardozo). Southerland's mark of 2:03.59 is well within reach, but with a field this talented don't count out Decker's. Also of note are Armory favorites Oliva Baker and Ajee' Wilson (former NJ Preps) as well as Charlene Lipsey (Hempstead NY alum).
