With an opening mile pace of 4:45.95, sophomore Katelyn Tuohy (North Rockland) had already broken the field that included defending champ Kelsey Chmiel (Saratoga). After that first 1600m, the pace slowed from 71-seconds a lap to 75-seconds, but the blistering pace would be enough to snatch the record. Tuohy charged down the backstretch to just dip under the previous National Record set by Kim Mortensen (Thouand Oaks, CA) at 9:48.59 back in 1996. Tuohy crossed the White Plains finish line at 9:47.88, which also surpassed the converted 2Mile National Record set by Brie Oakley (Grandview, CO) last year, running a converted 9:47.92 at the Brooks PR Invitational.
