Colonial Relays, Day 3: Both 4x1500 relay records broken!

Both 4x1500 (6,000-meter) relay marks were broken on Saturday afternoon. The men obliterated the previous mark and nearly cracked the 16-minute barrier, while the women almost cracked 19:00 and nudged the record down a bit more. This is a rarely run relay (once a year) and usually our athletes are doubling in this event, so it's special when we can establish a new standard. Or. In this case. Two new standards. Nicely done, men and women!
