The high school girls 3200 meter run was about 800 meters underway with Brittany Koziara and Kayla Hale leading the way when the girls were called off the track.

The much awaited battles of the 3200 meter and 4x400 races were not to be as the remaining events were called off.
While the ending of the 2008 Florida Relays might have been anti-climatic, there were some amazing performances on Friday and Saturday that more than lived up to the hype.
