Oh cool, I'll have to send that to my Mom:)

She's not really local to NYC, but she does have a bunch of national track championships. She won a Bethel race this year too.

I wish. I would have upgraded a hell of a lot sooner (and "won" a lot more races) if that were the case. Maybe it's different for women, though, since we have a lot fewer/smaller fields as it is.
