It's been a busy indoor Season, and the records have been under threat since Day 1. However, some have been more so than others.
Now looking at our sophomores, we took the final season bests by sophomores this year, and graded how close they were to breaking the Sophomore State Records.
One of our Freshman State Record Holders tops the list, as Adriana Pettinelli comes within half a second of breaking the 1000m Record held by Sammy Watson. Pettinelli holds the State and National Freshman Record in the event, and has podiumed the past two years at the New York State Meet.
Olivia Solomon did break a sophomore State Record in the 800m, however, that event is not currently contested at the State Level.
