Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA – The Stanford women got the upper hand of Villanova in the women’s 4 x 1500m relay with an American record in the 112th Penn Relays at the University of Pennsylvania’s Franklin Field on Friday 28 April.

After losing to Villanova in the distance medley relay on Thursday, a Stanford quartet of Amanda Trotter, Lauren Centrowitz, Katy Trotter and Arianna Lambie responded with a convincing victory in 17:18.63 to highlight the second day of the three-day meeting before a crowd of 29,443.

The performance smashed the American record of 17:22.72 set by Wisconsin at the 1990 Penn Relays. The mark also ranks No. 2 on the collegiate list behind Villanova’s 17:18.10 also run at Penn in 1990.
