Shenendehowa High School (NY) sets new 4x 1 mile record!! Shenendehowa runs 17:25.97 to set the National High School Record, breaking the old record of 17:29.60 set back in 1974 by North Vigo (IN).
Also under the record was the team from Red Bank (NJ) with a time of 17:28.87.
Phil Roach exults after setting the 4x1 mile record.
Shenendehowa took the lead from the gun and never relinquished as they ran even splits throughout the race to stay a steady 20 -40 meters ahead of the competition. Red Bank gave challenge on the anchor leg, but Phil Roach was able to hold them off and cross the line well clear of Red Bank and the old record.
All smiles, and well deserved after breaking a 30 year old record!.
