Classic track and field drama brings the meet score down to the last event, the relay. So it went in NYC Icahn Stadium on Randall's Island on Saturday July 11th between the host Central Park Track Club and the Greater Boston women's team. The score would play out to CPTC's favor only if they won the 4x4 relay and GBTC placed last or not at all. In a relay anyone can drop a baton or run out of a zone and be disqualified. The GBTC team of Jessica Klett, Sara O'Brien, Ronnesia Gaskins and Allissa Nelson stayed in the zone, only one place behind CPTC, producing a winning final score of 159 to 154!

The men's team placed 4th, and in the combined (men+women) scoring GBTC was the national runner-up.
