New York Reclaims National Leaders And More At Millrose Kyle Brazeil Feb 17, 2013

MileSplit NY - Have you had time to catch your breath yet?  We still are catching up on all the records broken last night, from Section, to High School, to American.  And if one thing was clear, New York was ready to represent, retaking two National leading times, and lowering two more, in addition to a new nation leading high jump from Section 5 earlier in the day.  Oh, and Mary Cain ran fast as well, breaking four total records in the width of under 5-minutes.  First, she lowered her career best in the full mile to 4:28.25, which breaks the American High School record, as well as the US Junior record.  Likewise, Cain took out the 1500m record en route, after she split 4:11.72, which also takes down both the 1500m Indoor High School and US  Junior records as well.  Shockingly, the split was very close to the Outdoor record Cain had set at 4:11.01 last year, before entering the tutelage of Alberto Salazar.  Crazy to think what the junior may be capable of this spring, as she looks to have only one more Indoor meet left on the docket, out in Albuquerque.
