Collegiate sprint champion Amandi Rhett from Willingboro, NJ broke a 20 year-old record on Saturday during the second preliminary meet of the nation's largest track series, the Colgate Women's Games. The 23 year-old track star beat her personal best as she shattered Diane Dixon's 1986 Colgate Women's Games record of 6.85 with a 6.6 performance. Last week Rhett ran a very fast 6.8, but hand-time conversions fell short of Dixon's electronically timed score. This week, Meet Director Fred Thompson said standard conversions confirm that Rhett has broken the College/Open 55 meters record. On Friday evening in the High School division, newcomer Feyisara Adaramoia of the Bronx continued to dominate the 55 meters, repeating last week's outstanding 6.9 performance for first place. Channel Smith of Eleanor Roosevelt High School in Maryland also remains in first place after her 25.6 run in the 200 meters. Thompson said family and fans at Pratt have seen some of the fastest young sprinters in the nation at the top of their game this year. He adds, "It's great that the Games showcase this level of talent, but we're even more pleased that our elementary and mid school divisions have grown so large. Athletes are not born in High School." Four preliminary events and a semi-finals are held at Pratt throughout January with top winners from each age/grade division advancing to the finals at Madison Square Garden on February 4, 2006 where they will compete for trophies and educational grants-in-aid from Colgate-Palmolive Company.
