DiPietro validates US #1 high jump ranking with 5'10.50" personal best clearance

Ellen Dipietro brought a little March madness Friday to one of the most storied venues in track and field.

Alcorta stays ahead of footsteps for second West Springfield DMR national title

The footsteps were there, and West Springfield anchor Caroline Alcorta knew they weren’t going away. In fact, they were getting closer. Despite the efforts of some heavy-hitting 1,600-meter anchors, Alcorta and her Virginia teammates held the lead and ruled the day in the girls’ distance medley relay. They covered the 4,000 meters in a new US#1 time of 11 minutes, 43.39 seconds.
