OOPS I commented and didn't answer.... silly me.... hey! Yes they do have the same meaning but the first sentence (although completely correct gramatically) is a bit awkward to say. You would instead say "she is too excited to cry". Tears can run -- as in running down someone's face -- but someone cannot run tears (annoying i know!!). Hope this helps!
