 Emma Keenan of Gwynedd Mercy Academy, Elyse Wilkinson of Penn Charter, and Lindsay Rheiner of Council Rock North electrified the Lehigh University indoor track and gave those in attendance one to rememeber. Wilkinson ran with her normal aggressive style, running splits of 31, 63 for 400, and 1:35 for 600 meters. Wilkinson had a sizeable lead until the backstretch on the final lap, when both Keenan and Rheiner both made moves. Coming off the last turn, Keenan was right on Wilkinson's shoulder and in the final 20 meters, she passed Wilkinson to take the gold medal. Keenan's time of 2:13.09 is US#3 and sets a new DVG all time record. The previous record was held by former West Catholic great and former NCAA champion Latavia Thomas (2:14.0h) from 2005.
