I sure did...and was going to link it. Super job...uhhh...by them....not you!

I see that their stud gal sprinter...Baker....is going to UConn but not going to run track....focus is on career in medicine.
Maybe not a national elite runner but would have made her mark at the UConn level.

They couldnt have asked for a better weekend to have it... temps around 80 and low humidity....... probably the last weekend like that until late september.

That's a very good achievement. I think it's fair to point out, however, that many of the top athletes don't compete in this meet. For example, Texas alone has at least 15 4x200 teams that have run more than two seconds faster than Windsor's time at New Balance. According to Dyestat, their time ranks them as the 65th fastest relay team for this year. A great accomplishment for a northeastern team, but Texas is another world when it comes to sprints.

Actually they are "national champs" because New Balance chooses to call its meet by that name. The majority of the top athletes do not participate and few regard the meet as a national championship.
