Racing to a New Long Island Record

 William Floyd High School junior Zariel Macchia just keeps setting records, and added more to her career this week. Macchia set a new Long Island record when she competed at the "Trials of Miles" event in New York City. Macchia ran a full full mile in just four minutes and forty one seconds to set the new fastest mark. The old record had stood since 1982, and she didn't only beat that time, but beat it by two full seconds. Macchia needed an absolutely stunning final lap to win the event. She trailed late but put up a 66.93 final lap to sprint away from the field en route to the win. Her time of 4:41.37 is a six-second personal best and moved her up to New York No. 6 all-time in the event. Macchia was also scheduled for the 3,000m this past week at the Penn relays. With that she fell into a second-place finish over 3K at the indoor state meet. Her indoor season was largely influenced by her participation in the World Junior XC Championships and also won the 1,000m at that same meet.
