USA Indoor Nationals HS Relays - 4x200

Eleanor Roosevelt MD
sweeps with US#1 teams

Girls - Boys

by John Dye

Eleanor Roosevelt MD girls didn't have long to get over the hurt of losing the 4x400 to Boys and Girls NY. An hour and 20 minutes later, they took to the Armory oval again in the 4x200 with three of the same runners. It was an easy wire-to-wire win for the nation's leading squad with very balanced splits: Kaprice Williams 25.0, Ramona Modeste 24.4, Tiandra Ponteen 24.5, and Renee Clarke 25.0. If they were tired, it only showed in their time of 1:38.92, which was 0.72 off their season best, but more than 2 seconds better than runnerup DeWitt Clinton NY 1:41.05.

A half hour later the Eleanor Roosevelt boys, lived up to their US#1 ranking with a 1:28.31 win, moving them up from three spots to US#5 all time. They had to be fast to cover Camden 1:28.45, the seventh fastest team ever. Roosevelt splits were balanced as usual: Sammie Sesay 22.0, Joshua Cotton 21.9, Joshua Allen 22.1, and Kyle Postell 22.3.
