Angel Piccirillo Blasts USA #1 Mile at PA State Meet
Eclipses Kim Gallagher's 32-Year-Old State Record

At the Pennsylvania state indoor championships held at Penn State this weekend, Villanova signee Angel Piccarillo (Homer Center, PA) ran the fastest Pennsylvania girl's mile ever (indoor or outdoor), breaking the 1980 record set by Upper Dublin's Kim Gallagher. Piccirillo's time of 4:44.20 is the #1 prep time in the USA this year by almost 2 seconds, and the #9 all-time USA prep mile for girls. Her win at the State meet is Piccirillo's third consecutive Pennsylvania state mile championship. She won this one by a staggering 14 seconds, breaking former Villanova All-American Frances Koons' state meet record.

If that were not enough, Piccirillo doubled back on the same day to win the state championship at 3000 meters, running 9:53.79 -- the #10 prep time in the USA this year. Fellow Villanova signee Caitlin Bungo was 4th.
