After setting State leading marks in the 400 and 800 last week, Sammy Watson decided to try the 1500 since it was the premier event at her home meet and she ran the 4:34.01 for a meet record, SVSB, and 2nd best mark in the state (Julia Zachgo of Shenendowa ran a 4:33.35 today at the Eddy Games in Albany). The previous night at the Marion Invitational Sammy won the 100 and 200.
