In a week in which we witnessed two boys from the same high school in Florida break 9 minutes for 3200 meters together in the same race, another unbelievable Florida first was achieved only 48 hours later at the Calvary Christian Invitational on Friday in Clearwater.
Cambridge Christian School juniors Mary Ellen Eudaly and Caroline Lehman both break 4:50 for 1600 meters in the same race with Eudaly winning the race with a US #7 performance of 4:47.77, while Lehman chopped 6 seconds off her previous PR to finish second behind her teammate in a US #8 time of 4:48.30.
The race actually had a third runner break 5 minutes as well, but not from the same team as Canterbury School senior Jessica Edwards broke 5 minutes for the second time in as many weekends with a distance third-place effort of 4:59.14.
