3 Medals at State Relays!

Great job by everyone at the Div. 3 Relays today!
Of the eight teams we sent, six placed in the top 10, five in the top eight, and three earned medals for fifth-place finishes!

The girls long jump got things started with a solid 5th place finish, as Kylie Lorenzen (16'3), Nicole Kerrigan (15'2, PR), and Cassandra Kelly (14'9, PR) combined for over 45'. The first few places were only inches away, fantastic job ladies!

The girls javelin came in 10th, as Eliza Dodge (82'10), Amber Ahronian (78'1.5) and Rachel Kriegsman (76'2) all were within a few feet (or inches, in one case) of their PR's.

The boys 4x100 team of Max Athy, Tabor Beaudry, Andrew Krauss, and Dan Barone qualified for states with a 5th place finish in 45.99!

The girls discus team was 19th, Carly Leonard (68'6, PR), Rachel Sullivan (72'4, PR), and Steph Berard (58'0) did well against a deep field.

The girls 4x100 lowered their state-qualifying time to 53.63, with splits of 13.6 (Morgann McKunes), 14.5 (Briana Crowley), 13.5 (Caroline Clancy), and 12.0 (Kylie Lorenzen). They finished eighth overall!

The girls distance medley took seventh, just missing the top-6 medals, as Anna Mannello (1200, 4:17), Cassandra Kelly (400, 69.9), Kaylee Kozubal (800, 2:29.0), and Katie Salley (1600, 5:56) finished in 13:52.

The boys discus results weren't posted when we left, I'll add those later.

Last but certainly not least, the girls 4x4 won their heat and finished fifth overall in 4:19.92, a full four seconds faster than their previous best. Steph Paolillo opened in 63.0, Shauna Rockett was next in 68.5, Nicole Kerrigan 65.1, and Kaylee Kozubal anchored in 63.6 after running the 800 in the DMR just 15 minutes earlier!

Remember, please be at the parking lot by 2:25 for departure to Dover-Sherborn tomorrow.
