Shana Cox 24.08
Natasha Hastings 24.51 in lane 4 appeared to have made up some of the stagger on Cox in lane 5 through 150 meters, but Cox powered off the last turn to win without an argument through the stretch.

Mike Morrison 7-3
The Willingboro NJ sr boomed over on his third attempt with plenty of room to spare to the delight of a packed Armory crowd. After going down to his third attempt before clearing 7-0, Morrison raised the bar three inches and again missed his first two attempts. Then, Morrison soared over in a perfect arc and the crowd's rhythmic clapping turned to a roar.

Brian Dalpiaz 4:14.52
Sayville NY sr appeared all the way back from his emergency appendectomy last August as he outkicked Kevin Tschirhart to win impressively in the fastest mile this year in the US. Tschirhart was second in 4:16.77. Chris Pannone rallied to win a 3-way fight for third in 4:19.72. Dalpiaz led for the first few laps with a 4-way single file lead group consisting of Dalpiaz, Jeremy Zagorski, Brian McCabe and Tschirhart. Tschirhart moved to the front at the end of the sixth lap, but Dalpiaz stuck on his right shoulder until striking quickly on the backstretch of the last lap.

Natasha Hastings 53.80
A.P. Randolph NY star spotted Eleanor Roosevelt MD sr Tiandra Ponteen 55.07 a big lead through one lap in 24.4, but burst from behind in the last 100 meters to win in the stretch. William Penn PA sr Juanita Broaddus was third in the seeded section in 55.82. Willingboro NJ Okechi Ogbuokiri won the second section in 55.05 to claim second overall. Hastings ran the fastest 400 in the nation this season and the 11th fastest on Jack Shepard's all time indoor list, where Hastings already stands 6th. "I was a little worried (after one lap)," Hastings said, "but I stuck to my plan and hit my target time right on the nose."

Trotter twins 4:55.42 and 4:55.54
Bayshore NY soph Laura Cummings blew out to a big early lead and was still out there as the bell rang for the last lap. But Katy and Amanda Trotter had moved up to second and third and kicked as a team in a sizzling last lap. The Trotters caught Cummings in half a lap and won going away to place 1-2 on the 2003 indoor season rankings. Cummings held on for third in 4:58.33 US#5 and Heather Iatauro was fourth in 5:02.80 US#6. Cummings' big lead eliminated the expected battle of the twins -- the Trotters of New Jersey and the Mullens of New York -- as the Mullens were never in contention.
