Accomplishment: These four standout runners participated in the New Balance Indoor Nationals at the Armory Track and Field Center in Manhattan on March 11.

Key to awesomeness: Darby, Strobl, Saraoka and Dooley all qualified to compete in the New Balance Indoor Nationals, where they participated in the 4x8; Dooley returned to run the freshmen mile. Coach Vincent Ungaro is very proud of the girls, who continued work outs on their own post-season, eventually meeting the standard to qualify for nationals.

"Their effort and attitude is unbelievable," Ungaro.
