Caruso (Stockholm/Walkill Valley, N.J.), who has already won 16 career meet titles, including four this season, posted a second place finish in the 200 meters as she raced to a time of 24.65 for the runner-up finish. Her time was just .13 off the winning mark of 24.52 put in by winner Letecia Wright of Ohio State and just .19 off Caruso’s school record mark of 24.36 set last season.
