The boys team of Terrell Collum, Isaiah Taylor, Tyri Hubbard and Matteo Higueros, did it first with a time of 3:26.04 seconds, shattering the previous mark set in 2021 by more than two seconds.

Then, the next day, the girls team of Brianna Smith, Angelle Sainteus, Destiny Samuels and Zariel Macchia ran a 4:05.37, setting a new record of their own and shattering the previous record set in 2012 by more than two and a half seconds.

Congratulations to both teams!
