Women’s Recap:
On the women’s side for the distance races Marissa Williams from Palisades won the 1600m (4 laps) in 4:56.93. She maintained her meet record she held in 2013 at South Bay Champs. There was also an amazing performance by South Torrance distance runner, Kimberly Coscia, who ran the 3200m (8 laps) and broke the meet record (which was 10:48 and was held in 2005). Kimberly ran a 10:43.03. An amazing job on her part!
