Fast times recorded on many fronts in this event: Shannon Flockhard of Providence ran the fastest leadoff (1200m) ever in this event with her 3:15.11. Maia Ramsden of Harvard ran the fastest 1600m in the DMR with her split of 4:21.47. Harvard (Sophia Gorriaran, Chloe Fair, Victoria Bossong and Ramsden) sets new Penn Relays and new National Collegiate records with their 10:37.55 effort breaking the dual record set in 1988 by Kathy Franey, Michelle Bennett, Celeste Halliday and Vicki Huber of Villanova. This is Harvards first overall win in COA races (both men’s and women’s) since 1936!

Well done.
Technically, this is the first CoA wheel for a Harvard women's team.
The women had bigger balls than the men today. Seriously, it's a f*cking relay and they're running the 1200 tactically? 3:38 guys who can't even man up enough to run sub-60 pace for the 1200. These Nova and Gtown teams would've gotten destroyed by their teams from 40 years ago. Pretty embarrassing.
Its not a matter of balls, those teams from forty years ago were better runners.
Unfortuantley there is no tv this year. Meet is only on flotrack.
Did Sophia run 3:20 or 3:30? Headline says 3:30
3:20 while VA and Providence were 3:15. I say VA/Providence split 67/68/60 or so. On the anchors I saw May at about 65/66/67+/65+ while Ramsden was about 64/66/67+/63+ with May leading until Ramsden moved at about 250 to go and May hung with her until Ramsden found one more gear for the last 100.
Here's a funny sighting: one high school team dropped a baton in the first 30m of the start AND THEY KEPT ON RUNNING. They made it to the 2nd exchange without a baton when the 3rd leg stopped in the exchange zone making "WTF" gestures to his teammate after they did the hand clap exchange. They ended up DNFing. What's amazing is that even the 2nd leg did not seem phased about the hand clap 1st exchange and racing without a baton (making it into the lead by the end of the second leg).
This will be remembered for years to come. Remember when Bullis fell/dropped the baton, was in 11th place, and then Quincy Wilson dropped a 44.37 to win the heat and make the final. The legend grows!
