Crosby Tillman 3rd at Nike Indoor Nationals AND NSIC, girls relays race well

Junior Crosby Tillman competed at The Nike Indoor Nationals last weekend and placed 3rd, earning All -American honors for the 2nd time.  Tillman finished in 7:32.57, and went through the 1500m in 7:05.20, both all time bests.  The times just missed school record holder Kate Cannon's junior class records of 7:01.3 and 7:30.11.  Cannon's overall school records are 6:56.03 and 7:28.05, which Tillman is in line to break next year.

Tillman came back to place 3rd again on Sunday in the mile RW at the NSIC in New York City.  Her time of 7:41.10 was a solid performance after a slow start to the race.

The girls 4x800m relay team of Maggie Hashmall (2:29.2), Eve Marenghi (2:21.6), Alexa Baiano (2:32.4) and Rachel O'Connell (2:31.4) ran 9:55.01 at the NSIC in New York to place 30th.  The time was a season best and ranks 10th best in school history.

The girls Sprint Medley Relay team of Maggie Hashmall (64.0), Kim Walsh (27.8), Jocelyn Almodovar (27.4) and Eve Marenghi (2:23.5) combined to run 4:23.45 to place 29th.  The time ranks 3rd best in school history.
