Oak Ridge Sets State Record in 1600 SMR

The Oak Ridge High School girls made the long trek out to California, not to compete at Arcadia, like many others, but instead the first ever California Relays--a meet which has drawn controversy for reportedly attempting to compete with the long established Arcadia Invitational.

Oak Ridge found the competition they were looking for and won the SMR with a time of 3:53.60, for the new state record and just a third of a second from the national record.

The girls competed again in the 4x4 on Saturday, and reportedly won that event with a fast time of around 3:41, but official results have not yet been reported.
