Viking Track Classic

100
   Leonhardt dusted the field in the 100 although
she was not overly aware during the race of that 
fact. "I focus on a tunnel zone on my lane so I 
didn't see the other girls". said Leonhardt, "The 
blocks were different than I was use to so I felt 
a little shaky coming out of the blocks".
Her 12.59 moves her to 4th all-time in the CMC
and gives her a huge lead for the season over 
O'Connor who had a 13.37 season best here.

   Leonhardt's 25.24 was almost a full second 
up on the field here. "I was relaxed," said 
Leonhardt, "I expected to be near the top but 
not this fast a time." Only three Empire 
preps have ever gone faster.

   Aldridge proved her speed here running the 
15th fastest 400 in Empire history. "I've run 
sub 59 in relays before but this was my first 
one in an open race." said Aldridge. "With 50 
meters left I felt like I was going die I 
tightened up so much near the end of the race."
Teammate Sanzari had a season best in second,
with O'Conner running a CMC leader in 4th.

   Nearly four feet seperated Farrar from the rest of the field.
That's more than a foot on each of the three phases. Farrar was 
hoping to improve on her PR set here last year. She came up a
bit short but still equalled her season best. "My muscles were
a little tired today." said Farrar. Potter's jump makes her #2
in the NBL this year and may make her the favorite.
