adidas Grand Prix: Piccirillo 4:56.12 | Seykora, Nappi, Darlington tune up for NB Nats in MD meet

 

Coming off a successful season in which she won her second consecutive Penn Relays mile to go with a 2nd PIAA AA 1600 Meter Championship, Homer Center junior Angel Piccirillo finished 13th in 4:56.12 in the adidas Dream Mile at Icahn Stadium in New York City. Piccirillo had been bothered since much of the season by a soar shin - which has reduced her road training mileage drastically. The mile race was won by California junior Camille Chapus in 4:42.71. The meet highlight was the sub-4 3:59.71 in the Boys Dream Mile by Illinois' Lukas Verzbicus, becoming the fifth prep runner to break the barriier, and only the second to accomplish the feat in a high school-only race. Florida's Marvin Bracy took the Boys Dream 100 in 10.47, while fellow Floridian Octavious Freeman came in at 11.78 to capture the Girls Dream 100.
