Red Bank NJ 11:46.59 - US#6 all time

Twins Amanda and Katy Trotter were bookends on Red Bank's runaway win. Amanda Trotter opened in 3:34.6 on the 1200 meter leg. Katy Trotter started the 1600 meter anchor leg trailing Bronxville's Catha Mullen, but Katy took command midway of a 4:49.9 split and won by 10 seconds. Nicole Blood's big 4:50.6 carry got Saratoga Springs NY second in 11:56.39, less than a second ahead of Bronxville. Red Bank's time was US#6 all time, just 5 seconds off the national record (11:41.28 by San Lorenzo Valley CA at Penn 3 years ago), and Amanda said afterward that Red Bank would be gunning for the record at Raleigh in June at the adidas Outdoor Championships.
