The Somers girls 4x200m relay team came together exactly once this spring season and wound up winning the Eastern States Championships at Iona Prep High School.
The team of sophomore Katy Kleinberg (28.3), freshman Alexa Baiano (27.6), sophomore Eve Marenghi (27.2), and sophomore Jocelyn Almodovar (26.8) combined to run 1:50.00.
They bettered the mark of 1:50.89 set at Eastern States in 2002. That team consisted of Kristin Boniello, Jessie Acuna, Ayana Wyse, and Andrea DeVito.
Kleinberg has been a mainstay on the sprint relay teams since 7th grade while Almodovar started with the team last spring as a freshman and quickly has become the top sprinter. Marenghi and Baiano both concentrate on the 400 and 800 during the season with Marenghi also running the 1500m.
With everyone back next winter, along with freshman Melissa Menta, the indoor record of 1:51.0 should also go down.
