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.
