Satellite runner Celina Coryell breaks two school, one county record

SATELLITE BEACH — Seventeen years from now, could Celina Coryell’s name still be etched in the Satellite High record books? That’s how long the school’s previous 1,600-meter record stood until Coryell shattered it on March 28 at the FSU Relays in Tallahassee. The day before, she beat her own 3,200-meter school record while also setting a new Cape Coast Conference record at those same FSU Relays.

“It's so cool that it happened 17 years ago and I'm 17 years old,” Coryell said. “It's been my goal of high school to leave breaking that record. ” The previous 1,600 record of 4 minutes, 56.

9 seconds was set by Ashley Shiver in 2009. Coryell’s official time was 4:55. 42, more than a full second quicker.

She finished fourth overall at FSU in the 1,600. As for the 3,200, the new time to beat for all Brevard County athletes is 10:30. 0.
