In
'2002', Tyler McCabe
of Providence College Shattered the mens' record in the Nick Bottone Track Mile
with a 4:21.7 clocking. In '2003' it was the womens' turn as Emily Anderson of
the University of RI blew away the female record by nearly the same margin! Anderson
was part of a star studded field that cont ained no less than four high school
state champions (including herself) from around the region as well as members
of high school championship teams and top flight road racers. It was easily the
strongest elite field ever in the event as well as the strongest field ever to
appear on the new "state of the art" Stonington High School Track!
The
only women in the elite field, Anderson obliterated the long standing record of
high school cross country coach Mary Janiszewski (5:10.0) by stopping the Chronomix
at 4:58.9! In fact, the top 10 finishers were all in under the 5:00 barrier.
Chris
McCormack of Montville, CT and Southern CT State College was the overall winner
with a 4:31.0 clocking; he was followed by top flight area road racer also of
Southern CTSC Chadwick Brown in at 4:34.1. Local running star Dan Sieczkiewicz
of Westerly, RI repeated his third place finish of '2002' with an even faster
time of 4:34.9.
