nationals in Greensboro, N.C.
The quartet of sophomore Sarah Cummings, senior Melissa Swigert,
freshman Allison Damon and 1,600-meter state champion Annie St. Geme,
a junior, clocked 11 minutes, 42.07 seconds, the fifth-fastest high
school time in meet history.
The event consists of legs of 1,200 meters, 400, 800 and 1,600.
St. Geme ran the 1,600 anchor leg in 4:49.
The foursome improved on the 11:51.66 it ran at the Arcadia
invitational in April, the first time they had competed in the event.

St. Geme said Saturday. “We ended up running an almost perfect race.
I’m happy to end the season on a high note.”

Geme finished second in four-mile relay in 20:20.38.
