First Week Info

Here's the important information regarding the first week of practice.

Practice starts at 2:30, all athletes meet in the gym, though some athletes will be running outside. ALWAYS have enough layers, hats/gloves with you in your locker. It's better to "have it and not need it" than to "need it and not have it!"

Thursday, December 4th - Team Spike Night at Marathon Sports in Mansfield. For newcomers, the store gives an additional discount to our team's athletes at this event, though you're certainly welcome to get shoes or other gear at other stores if you so choose. Usually we carpool over after practice, leaving at around 4 or 4:15.

Schedule has been updated on the right with the dates, opponents are still being confirmed for some dates.

Girls Rally To Win State Heptathlon!

It took two days, seven events, one torrential downpour, and some absolutely monster PR's, but after a blistering 800 on a puddle-filled track at Quincy Stadium, the trio of Kylie Lorenzen, Sydney Snow, and Madison Ward were MSTCA North Heptathlon champions. Not only that, their score of 10440 points exceeded that of the South Champion (Oliver Ames), which had 10410, making them the best heptathlon team in the entire state of Massachusetts.  Kylie led the way with 3rd place (3864), Sydney 8th (3397), Madison 15th (3181).

The ladies entered Day 2 in a distant third place, with just over 6000 points. They were 200-300 behind Milford and North Reading, but had a few teams within 100 points of themselves, nipping at their heels for the third and final team trophy.

But the girls were not content with their parade of PR's from Day 1, which included a few events where the sophomores scored more than 100 points than the previous year (Snow in the shot put, Ward in the shot put and hurdles).

With the long jump, javelin, and 800 on the schedule, it was the field events where the girls would first begin to climb. Entering day 2, Kylie was 3rd, and Sydney and Madison were 16th and 17th. With the field randomized, Sydney headed over to javelin, the other two to long jump.

Sydney uncorked a big PR with a throw of 21.17 meters, good for 69'5, more than 15 feet further than her 2013 mark! Over at long jump, the vast majority of the first flights were clearing 13-high or 14-low, but once every go-around an audible gasp would be heard.

That was when the Holliston girls jumped. Madison ripped off not one, not two, but three jumps over 16 feet, including a mammoth 16'11 1/8 on her second attempt that wound up being the second best in the entire competition, a PR of over a foot, and the third best jump in school history (trailing only Kylie's 17'4 and Chrissy Sereno's 17'3.5 from 2003).

Kylie, in her first long jump competition of the year, matched Madison, as she dominated the other pit, clearing 16'7.5 for fourth overall of 62 competitors.

The girls switched, and Sydney held serve with a 15'3, just a couple inches shy of her PR but well ahead of the majority of the field, despite going against a headwind that had just came about, announcing a storm on its way. Over at javelin, Madison moved up from her 39'8 best last year to a 44' toss, while Kylie tied her PR at 75 feet.

Literally minutes after Syd finished her last jump, an absolute downpour came for 30 minutes, even flooding the inside of the football field along the home straightaway. While other teams sought shelter in their cars/buses, the girls waited out the rain under the trees/umbrellas. Forty minutes later, the skies parted, and the competitors came back out on to the field. A few unfortunate girls had to finish the long jump or javelin, and as a result, the 800s would be seeded based on whoever was ready. Our trio went first.

Now, normally they wait until everyone is done with the LJ and Jav, tally up the scores, and then run the 800s, with the top 12 kids going together. The team scores are also known at this point. Due to the rain and the remaining LJ/Jav competitors, everyone was running the 800 having no idea where they ranked individually or as a team.

I did the math, here's what the scores were heading into the 800. 

Individually, Kylie was third (3169), Sydney 15th (2650), Madison 18th (2533)...and here's the team scores

North Reading 8890, Milford 8540, Holliston 8452. Nearly 100 points behind 2nd, and 438 behind first.

But then came the hammer. For the unfamiliar, usually in a heptathlon, it's dominated by sprinter/jumpers, since the 800 is the only distance event out of seven, it's not normally one where kids rack up a ton of points.

Unless they're from Holliston.

Sydney led the way with a 2:25.9, Kylie was just behind in 2:27.9, and Madison was with the pack at 2:42. This was the unofficial "seeded" section, as only one other girl wound up beating Sydney from another heat, and only a (literal) handful would beat Madison's time from other heats.

After the other 800s, the scores were read aloud. Madison had climbed up from 18th to 15, as Holliston was one of only two teams to have all three athletes place in the top 15. Sydney had vaulted from 15th all the way up to 8th, a ridiculous jump in the span of one event. Kylie had held at third, her second straight year earning a top-3 plaque.

North Reading was the other team with three top-15 finishes...but when the scores were read, Holliston had gone from a 438 point deficit heading into the last event to a 266 point win over Reading, which had also leapfrogged Milford and North Reading during the 800.

The last time Holliston earned a trophy at a statewide event was the Girls Indoor Track team in 2003, when they were second at Div. 3's to Bishop Feehan. It took 11 years, but history was made. Congratulations to the ladies on a truly spectacular performance in one of the toughest events there is in track.

And they're all underclassmen!

All 3 Girls in Top 20 after Day 1

After day 1 of the North Heptathlon, our Multi-Event stars Kylie Lorenzen (2252 points), Sydney Snow (1888), and Madison Ward (1872) are 3rd, 16th, and 17th out of 60 competitors!

http://www.mstca.org/Spring_Season/Spring%202014/northhepsday1.pdf (for results)

As a team, Holliston is also third overall with 6012 points, trailing only North Reading (6359) and Milford (6250).

The long jump, javelin, and 800 remain for tomorrow's final day.

Highlights today included several huge PR's, and a few top performances. Madison PR'd by over a full second in the 100 hurdles (18.2), nearly SIX feet in the shot put (18'9), and tied for the best high jump (4'11.75) of the entire competition!

Sydney Snow matched or exceeded her PR in all events, tying high jump (4'7.75), besting her mark in hurdles (18.6), 200 (28.3), and obliterating her shot put (21'6, up from 17' last year)!

Kylie nearly qualified for states...again...in hurdles, running 17.40, and had the second-fastest 200 time of the day in a scorching 26.2. She also had a best in the shot put of 26'6, nearly two feet ahead of last year!

Heptathlon change / AllState recap

We are in the North Heptathlon thus year due to the number of Southern teams that entered. It's at Quincy Stadium, at 98 Coddington Street in Quincy. It is NOT part of Quincy HS.

Ryan Snow placed 22nd in the triple jump yesterday, though virtually the entire field struggled as several "boards" were nothing more than white tape stretched across the runway. He was also the last athlete to compete in the Class if 2014. Truly a remarkable career.

Kylie medaled for the third year in a row as she finished sixth in the 400 in 58.32 a seasonal best!
It was the fastest 400 field ever as the meet record was broken.

Congratulations to all our graduates. Underclassmen please return your uniform if you haven't done so, preferably before the banquet. The banquet us Thursday at 6:30

Lorenzen wins Girls 400, Snow nearly wins Boys Triple!

At a windy Pembroke High School, we had two automatic qualifiers for next week's All-State Championships, led by Division 3 East Champion Kylie Lorenzen (400) and D3 East Runner-Up Ryan Snow (Triple Jump). The girls finished 15th with 17.33 points, the boys came in 21st with 11 points. I'll recap in the order the events were contested.

Madison Ward staretd her busy day with the triple jump, earning her first medal of the day with a jump of 34'5. Over on the track, Abby Meltzer ran 12:31.23 for 30th in the Girls 2 Mile. Up next was Mike Glazebrook, who PR'd by four seconds to take 11th in 10:07.34, thanks in part to a scorching last lap of 67.1!

The 400 hurdlers were next, and both nearly medaled. Eve Bagley was ninth in 70.62, while Ryan Leonard took 11th in 61.37. Continuing our busy morning, Katie Salley was 25th in the mile (5:38.36).

Kelly Alves was the top freshman in the shot put, nearly making the finals with a throw of 32'1.25. She's ahead of where former All-American Emmaline Berg threw her freshman year, so the future is certainly bright. Madison picked up yet another medal, finishing eighth in high jump (4'11).

Back on the track, after Logan Cotto advanced to the 110 hurdle finals, Kylie Lorenzen lined up for just her second 400 of the year. Taking the lead by 150m, she pulled away with a win by nearly a full second, winning in 58.76!

Sydney Snow was up next, and she won her heat of the 800 in 2:24.07, as well as earned a medal for eighth place overall.

Right near the finish, the boys triple jump was hosting the biggest surprises of the day. Mike Donovan was the 29th seed of 30 entries, yet finished ninth with a big PR of 40'3.5, making the finals. Only one other underclassmen beat him. But he wasn't the only surprise in the finals - Ryan Snow came in as the ninth seed with his recent PR at TVL's (41'1.5), but a TWO FOOT PR of 43'2.75 gave him second place, earning a trip to All-States!

Logan matched his seed from the prelims, earning sixth in the 110 hurdles at 16.29. The boys 4x100 was 19th overall, as the quartet of Sam Ratcliffe, Liam Hebert, Donovan, and Ed Bennie ran 47.42. Finally, the girls 4x400 of Snow, Bagley, Helen Dolan, and Lorenzen finished fifth in 4:16.75.

Two of the class meets (Div. 1 and Div. 2 East) go tomorrow, I'll post the Girls 400 and Boys Triple Jump seeds tomorrow night once those meets are finished.

If you finished competing today, you can turn your jersey in to me after school on Monday.

Lorenzen wins 400 at Last Chance Meet!

Although she had run a scorching anchor leg at Relays, Kylie Lorenzen still had yet to run an open 400 this year. So while she still needed to qualify for states (can't use relay splits), she also wanted to make sure she got into the fast heat. To say she accomplished her goal would be an understatement. Ripping through the first 200 in 27-mid, already with nearly a second lead, she ran 58.86 to win by over a second, and just miss the meet record by 0.17. It's the #2 time in Division 3 East, setting herself as a favorite for All-States and potential class champion.

Performance list for EMass goes up Wednesday.

TVL Recap

The official results were finally posted last night, so here's the extended recap of the Tri-Valley League Meet. The girls finished fourth with 61.5 points, the boys sixth with 23.

The first event was the Freshman Mile, and though it wasn't scored, it was a heck of a race by Addie Datz, who finished second in 5:54.25.

Up next was the 400 hurdles, with Anna Foster claiming 10th in 75.98, and Eve Bagley ran a time of 69.52 to take second place, still within a second of the school record. Ryan Leonard ran 60.62 to take fourth for the boys.

The 200 was next, and Virginia Hanstad was 18th in 29.40, and Kylie Lorenzen finished third in a seasonal best of 26.61! Ed Bennie was 24.45 in 13th place.

Katie Salley came up with six more points for the girls with a third-place showing in the mile with a 5:37, trailing only two of the best milers in the entire state. 

In the 100, Sam Ratcliffe was 14th (12.48), Elena Daly took 17th (14.50), and Kylie Lorenzen earned another top-six ribbon with a sixth place showing of 13.24.

The first field events started to finish up. Madison Ward nearly won the high jump, as she finished third on the misses tiebreaker at 5'2, nearly clearing 5'4 on her last attempt. The surprise of the day, so far happened in long jump. After Elena Daly (15th, 13'8.5) and Alexis Mejia (12th, 14'1.75), Sydney Snow came in as the 12th seed, not even high enough to be in the top flight. But she not only made the finals, but claimed third place with a jump of 15'7, nearly qualifying for states and setting a PR of almost a foot!

Rachel Kriegsman was 15th in the discus (62'9), and Sophia Rahim had a huge PR to take 10th at 67'2.

Ryan Snow PR'd by over a foot to take fourth in the triple jump (41'1.5), while Mike Donovan made states at 39'0.25 and Logan Cotto jumped 39'0, taking 10th and 11th respectively.

Reuben Jacobsen (33'6.25) and Matt Wolfson (35'10), were 12th and ninth in the shot put, as Reuben had one of his best throws in competition this year.

Matt had a monster PR in javelin, by over 10 feet as he threw 130'4 for eighth place. Tanner also PR'd at 119'4 (14th), while Reuben was 21st (103'9).

Back on the track, Hana Gross was 19th (21.27) and Bridget Ghelli (18.30) finished 13th. Logan Cotto served notice by destroying the field in the trials with a 15.50 (third fastest in EMass Div. 3), then won easily in the finals in 15.70 to become the TVL CHAMPION!

Both 4x100 teams earned ribbons by finishing sixth. The girls team of Ally Rosati, Izzy Getchell, Kelsey Crowley, and Madison Savas ran 56.32, while the boys team of Ratcliffe, Liam Hebert, Donovan, and Bennie ran 47.51.

Alexis Mejia finished eighth in the 800 (2:33.61), and Sydney Snow had another PR by finishing third in 2:24.65. Tanner Datz was 18th in 2:19.75.

We nearly had two medalists in the girls 400, as Madison Ward went from the 12th seed to 7th place in 65.40, and Helen Dolan took sixth in 64.36. Ryan Snow and Rick Brown finished seventh (54.31) and eighth (54.50), a big PR for Rick.

Abby Meltzer nearly medaled in the 2-mile, taking seventh in 12:38. Ed Glazebrook was ninth (10:54), and Mike Glazebrook claimed fifth (10:24).

Back at field events, Madison took second in triple jump (33'6), while Kelly Alves was the only freshman to medal in shot put (sixth, 30'3.5), and had a big PR of 87'1 to take eighth in jav. Rachel was 19th (65'8). For the boys, Liam was 13th in long jump (17'5.5), while Logan took eighth (18'5.5). Ryan Leonard was 20th in discus (85'4), Sam Gillman 23rd (69'3).

Last but not least was the 4x400. The boys team of Leonard, Brown, Datz, and Snow finished fifth in 3:45.23, almost matching their seasonal best. The girls closed things out with a flourish. Eve Bagley opened the race, handing off to Helen Dolan in a pack of three fighting for the lead. Helen accelerated so quickly at the 200m mark that she stunned officials and rival coaches, opening up a 1-second lead on Hopkinton as she handed off to Anna Foster. Anna did a great job maintaining the lead, and Sydney Snow found herself battling the same anchor that Hopkinton had race her in Indoor TVLs. Fortunately the result was the same. Despite two different attempts by the Hiller to pass her, Sydney held the lead and the girls became TVL CHAMPIONS in 4:16.40!q

Girls 4x4, 4x8 Medal at Relays

At our "home away from home" in Pembroke - site of the Eastern Mass Division 3 Meet on May 31st - we had some solid performances at the Division 3 Relays.

The boys 4x100 got things started, running 47.44 to take 22nd in their field, a decent time considering they can still improve some of the handoffs.

The girls 4x800 had run 10:19.83 at the Coaches Invite, and the quartet of Madison Ward, Katie Salley, Alexis Mejia, and Sydney Snow lowered their time by 4 seconds today and earned a medal by finishing in sixth in 10:15.98! Not bad considering all twenty teams ran together.

The girls 4x400 closed out the day, and despite being in the second-fastest section, finished fifth overall in 4:11.27, which I believe is the second fastest time in school history behind the record time of 4:09. Eve Bagley, Helen Dolan, Anna Foster, and Kylie Lorenzen now have the fastest time by a TVL team this year, too.

If your season is over and you still have not turned in your uniform, either find Coach Moreau during the day or Coach Kelley after school. Banquet is June 12th (it's on the "Schedule" part of the blog)

Students will be dismissed at 1:30 for the TVL Meet on Wednesday.

Girls Sweep Tri-Meet!

Despite temperatures that climbed to the mid-80s, there were many impressive performances today. The girls not only beat Medfield, they rallied to avenge their indoor loss to Norton by beating the Lancers 71-65 on the 4x400 relay, with an assist from captain Rachel Kriegsman's big 3 points in the discus just a few minutes earlier.

The boys lost both meets, but had double-winner Matt Wolfson (shot put/javelin), to go with new state qualifier Ryan Snow (53.0 in 400), and league-leading 110 hurdler Logan Cotto's PR of 15.7.

Lots of PR's at Coaches Invitational

Although the boys official results were up over an hour ago, my patience for refreshing the ma.milesplit.com webpage every 15 minutes for the girls' results to go up has worn out. Since I know the approximate times/distances for the girls, I didn't want the loyal readers to go to bed without reading about the spectacular day we had!

(Only event I didn't get an estimated finish was Kelly in the shot put, I'll update that, along with official times/distances for the other events, once they're posted).

Our boys were down in New Bedford, and the girls were in Somerville, but I'll go in order of events as if they were in the same spot.

At a meet like this, the depth of competition can be intimidating, as the top of the leaderboard is usually dominated by the Division 1 and Division 2 schools. From the official results I saw at the boys meet, most of them finished 10th-25th overall but only were behind one or two people in our Eastern Mass Division, which I'm sure held true for any girls we had that finished in similar positions.

So a meet like this is all about positioning. Using the elite competition to help pull you along to a PR. Maybe you went from a "state quailfying" time/distance to a "potential medalist" level. Even if you didn't PR, getting awfully close to your best mark eliminates that little voice in your head that says "no, that was a fluke." (That little voice is always wrong!)

Our first performer of the day epitomized what this meet was about. Eve Bagley entered the 400 hurdles at 72.03 seconds for a PR, only one of a few of our athletes in attendance who was still trying to make states. After breaking 70 seconds, she not only qualified, but set herself up as a serious contender for a top-8 medal at Eastern Mass, and I believe she's only the second girl in the TVL under 70 seconds. Oh, did I mention that she's only a second behind Steph Paolillo's school record?

Ryan Leonard was on track early to make a run at his newly acheived PR of 58.8 from eariler this week. Although he stumbled a bit on the last few hurdles, he still finished 11th overall in 60.04, and his PR from Bellingham looks to be among the top four in our Eastern Mass Division. He took the last medal (8th place) as a junior, perhaps as a senior he'll grab the last All-State bid?

Up next were the 2-milers. Abby Meltzer didnt' quite PR, but her time of 12:26 was her 2nd-best ever, and was well ahead of some of her more recent dual meet races. Distance events can be tricky, especially the 2-mile, where the length makes the variance in race times quite large. In other words, she can now call herself a "consistent low 12" 2-miler.

Mike Glazebrook had won all four of his dual meet races this year, and only one of them - his comeback win against Mike Brady of Medway - was he seriously challenged. So finding himself in a large pack early was a bit disorienting. He went out in 5:02, and although the lead pack of four he was chasing pulled away in laps 6 and 7, he still set a 7-second PR of 10:11.41, good for 15th overall - he was seeded 23rd - and fast enough to beat six guys in the seeded section. He's setting himself up for a legitimate chance at the hallowed sub-10 mark.

Kylie Lorenzen had only just returned to racing and jumping three days ago. She cleared 4'9 in high jump, a technical event that often takes a while to get reacquainted, but followed up with an impressive seasonal best of 26.71 in the 200 trials.

Addie Datz entered the freshman mile having knocked on the "sub-6 minute" door a few times, running 6:06 earlier in the season and just missing with a 6:01 against Bellingham. Well, she didn't open the door, she kicked it down by nearly skipping the 5:50s entirely with a time of 5:51, winning her section with what I'm told was quite the kick. Her new PR is closer to the state qualifier (5:42) than her old PR!

Katie Salley had set an outdoor PR against Bellingham, running 5:34.8, but had missed her overall PR from TVL Indoor by just a few tenths of a second. Undaunted, she popped a 5:31, nearly breaking the sub-5:30 mark!

Although I didn't hear Kelly Alves' official result, I heard she threw at least 31', which would be her second-best throw of the year. Although she's so consistent we take her ability to throw over 30' for granted, please everyone realize that a freshman routinely tossing state-worthy throws is not typical. Quite a day for her!

In the 110 hurdles, Logan Cotto had entered with a 16.1 hand-time from this year, but in such a short event times like that are always questionable. His time of 16.46 today was a full two-tenths better than he's ever run electronically, bettering his mark from last year's state meet. He's certainly moving closer to 16 seconds.

In the 400, Helen Dolan lowered her state-qualifying time by over a half-second, running 63.07 to further move up the leaderboard in the TVL! Over at the boys meet, Ryan Snow ran 53.85, which is technically a PR since his 53.7 was handtimed (converts to 53.94, you add 0.24 seconds), in a similarly excellent race!

Sydney Snow had just PR'd in the 800 running against the #1 girl in the state. Up against the same #1 girl (as well as most likely the #2, #3, and who knows how many others in the top 10), she PR'd for the second time in four days, running 2:25! She's knocking on the door of "low 2:20s", which usually puts you in quite a competitive spot for All-State qualification.

With temperatures now in the low 80s, the girls 4x800 team of Katie Salley, Madison Ward, Alexis Mejia, and Sydney Snow took 10th in a very competitive field, running 10:19.83. I'll have to check the archives to see how that stacks up as a potential outdoor relay record, but nonetheless it was easily a state-qualifying time and puts them in the discussion for medals at EMass.

The events on the track were done, but with seemingly every high school girl in Massachusetts entered in the triple jump, Madison Ward was still waiting for her flight, the last of seven. She cleared 34'9.5, which just missed the finals but is also her 2nd-best jump of the year, missing her PR by just three inches. However, even her 34'9.5 today is still better than anyone in EMass Div. 3, according to athletic.net. So she's proven herself to be a consistent 34-35 foot jumper, and a leading contender for states.

A good day by all, remembering to look at the results in context of the big championship meets ahead (TVL, EMass Div 3) a lot of people moved themselves in to new categories, from qualifiers to contenders, or came close enough to their best marks to give them confidence that when the big days arrive, they'll be ready.

Don't forget to be at the track by 2:45 to set up for our tri-meet with Medfield and Norton on Monday.

Our meet against Medfield is postponed until Monday, May 12th at 3:30.

We STILL have practice today though!

Reminders for Wednesday

Our meet is still scheduled for tomorrow (Wednesday) at 3:30 vs. Medfield.

IF the meet is postponed before school gets out, we will still have practice. As of now, the weather seems like it will hold off and the heavy rain won't come until Wednesday night.

So either way, we'll see you at 2:45 - either out on the track to help set up, or for practice. Lineup will be posted outside Coach Moreau's office before the end of DSB.

Big Wins over Medway!

Great start to our post-vacation schedule, and a lot of the athletes that stayed in shape over break saw it pay off today. We had five boys earn their varsity letter, two nearly qualify for states (Snow and Mike Glazebrook), and two more remain undefeated (Cotto in hurdles, Mike Glazebrook in whatever event he does). On the girls side, we had not one, not two, but THREE double winners, a new state qualifier (Syd, though she had made it in the 800 already), and Madison remains undefeated in triple jump.

Monday Meet Reminders

Monday we have our first home meet of the year, against Medway (the one that got rained out originally). ALL athletes are expected to be out at the track at 2:45 to help set up for the meet, which starts at 3:30.

Here's what we need brought out, most of these items are in the old concession stand shed.

High Jump - Mats, Cover, Standards (the two gray things that the bar sits on), Bar
Long Jump - Rake, Measuring Tape (use the 100' version)
Shot Put - Whtie Toe Board, Long Measuring Tape (300')
Javelin - Long Measuring Tape
Six Starting Blocks - place four by the "common finish" for the 400 meter hurdlers, the other two can go to the 100m start.
Folding Table with two chairs - near finish line for scorekeeping

I'll bring out the yellow caution tape and stakes for the throwing events.

DURING THE MEET you still have responsibilities. Here's a reminder of the order of events, with notes on what would need to be moved.

Pre-Meet...Set up Lanes 2,3,4, and 5 for 400 meter hurdles, on the green lines at the lowest setting.
After the girls run, raise the hurdles to the middle setting (3rd of 5) for the boys.
After the boys run, remove the hurdles. The ones on the far side of the track need to be brought across the football field so we can use them later for the 100 meter hurdles.

Moving the starting blocks (for the 100, 400, 100 hurdles, and 200) and the hurdles (on to the track for the 100 hurdles, moving them up for the boys height, and then removing them afterward) is always the biggest job.

When the boys high jump is complete, we need to move the mats back into the concession stand shed. This is often done before the meet is over (obviously don't drag them across the track if runners are going by), so don't wait until after the 4x4 to get it done when you can get them moved ahead of time!

If you're in a throwing event, make sure our throwing implements are returned to the storage trailer.

Medway Meet Now On April 28th

The meet scheduled for today vs. Medway has been postponed to Monday, April 28th. It'll still be at home, starting at 3:30 PM.  I've changed the schedule on the right-hand side of this blog to reflect the new date.

Bagley's win among Seven Medals at Rte 228 Fr/Soph Invite

For the first time in three years, we were back at the Route 228 Freshman/Sophomore Invite, which had over 70 teams from large and small schools.

In the first race of the day, Eve Bagley ran a time of 72.03 seconds to win not only her heat, but the entire Girls 400 meter hurdles, edging a girl from Concord-Carlisle by 0.16 seconds! Anna Foster was seeded 12th but finsihed 10th in 77.11

In the girls 100 dash, Kelsey Crowley ran 15.73 to beat over 50 people in her field, taking fourth in her heat. Sam Ratcliffe ran 12.83 in the boys 100, 34th overall and third in his heat.

The first field events started to come in, with a few medals among them. Madison Ward took second place in the triple jump at 34'8.25. At the adjacent runway, Liam Hebert was 12th overall in long jump and had the best mark of any freshman at 17'9.5, while Mike Donovan cleared 16'2. Sam Gillman nearly PR'd with a 59'7 in the discus, while Kelly Alves took sixth place in the javelin at 76'5, and also picked up a sixth place in the shot put at 30'4, a rare freshman to claim two top-6 medals!

Back on the track, in the girls mile Addie Datz nearly PR'd in 6:06.58, claiming 17th overall and 5th among freshmen. Alexis Mejia nearly qualified for states with an 8th place time of 5:48.58, third among freshmen!
Kevin Ricard was fourth in his heat of the boys mile in a new PR of 5:45.57.

In the 800, Sydney Snow overcame some early elbows from the 18-person seeded section to finish fourth in 2:28.89, a seasonal best! For the boys, Andrew Milton tied his PR at 2:23.38, 21st overall and 8th among freshmen. Stephen Gallivan was fourth in his section at 2:34.92.

The second set of field events came in, and Madison Ward nearly captured the high jump, taking second at 5'1 on a tiebreaker. Mike Donovan just missed the finals of the triple jump, claiming 8th at 35'1. Reuben Jacobsen was 16th in javelin at 98'8, while the freshmen duo of Alexis Mejia (14'3) and Elena Daly (13'9) were 12th and 17th, respectively, in long jump.

The 400 saw a pair of freshmen nearly medal, as Helen Dolan was eighth in the girls' race at 64.46, and Rick Brown also took eighth, with a new PR of 55.28, just 0.01 off the best time by a freshman.

In the boys 4x100, despite being seeded 17th, the quartet of Sam Ratcliffe, Liam Hebert, Mike Donovan, and Rick Brown finished 10th in 48.87.

The wait was worth it for the last race of the long day. Seeded fourth, the girls 4x400 relay team of Dolan, Ward, Foster, and Snow ran 4:23.99, just off the best time of the season to take second place!

A reminder, the next meet is not only home, but it is on Tuesday, not Wednesday. (Vs. Medway)

Fr/Soph Schedule (Saturday)

Snow shatters school record, takes 10th at All-States!

Although she's only a sophomore, Sydney Snow has waited a long time to break the school record in the 600 meters. After coming up just a few tenths shy last year, her top goal entering this season was to put herself atop the leaderboard. She pulled within 0.35 seconds with a great race at the Elite Meet, and entered today's meet having run 1:40 and change in wins at the TVL and Division 4 Meet.

Entering today's All-State Championship Meet as the 22nd seed out of 24, she was in the first section, which took off in under 31 seconds for the leader - eventual 5th place finisher from Concord-Carlisle - and Snow was in last coming through in 31-mid. Undaunted, she passed the third and second place girls by 400 meters, hearing the bell at somewhere between 64 and 65 seconds. The leader had a gap on the field, leaving Sydney racing against the clock, and the ghost of Dana Butler's 2008 record of 1:39.58

Powering down the final straightaway, she crossed the tape with the record secure, as the scoreboard soon flashed "1:38.81." Now the only question remained was how high she would place. No one in the next heat would break 1:39, and just two girls in the second-fastest section bettered her mark. Though the final section did, that still left Snow as 10th place overall. Other than Shawna Rossini in 2001 and Emmaline Berg in 2007, no other Holliston sophomore has finished in the top-10 at the All-State Meet. Both those girls were New England champions by the time they graduated.

Logan Cotto kicked off the day for us with an 8.21 in the trials of the hurdles, just missing the top 20 by 0.002. He still ranks as the #1 in the league by a wide margin, and sets himself up as the favorite for the 110m hurdles outdoors.

Banquet is Wednesday at 6:30 PM, please bring a canned good for Community Service. Spring signup meeting is Thursday after school in the cafeteria. 

All State Update/Couple Reminders

Well, it's been a crazy week as the wild card system's new rules had even yours truly confused. The state put in a rule that you had to be top six to count as a wild card on high jump (previously they took all the people who cleared the last wild card's height), so Madison suffered the misfortune of being in the most competitive division, which had six people over 5'2. Then it turned out Logan Cotto did make it as the last wild card. I wasn't sure how they counted preliminary/final round times, but our hurdler did get in after all.

So we've got Sydney and Logan on Saturday, both competing early for all you that want to come and cheer them on. Logan goes at 9:30 for the Hurdle Trials, Sydney at 10:25 for the 600.

A few words on our qualifiers and near-qualifier. Did you know that Madison and Sydney are the only Holliston athletes since 1996 (possibly eariler, that's as far back as the online results go) to medal in the indoor divisional meet their first two years of high school?

Sydney's our first indoor State Divisional champion since 2009, when Emmaline Berg (Shot Put) and Rosie Keogh (2 Mile) each won. She's also the youngest Divisional champion we've had according to the results I have on file!

Logan's time of 8.08 is the same time his older brother Ty ran at the 2006 AllState Meet, where he placed 12th. For those that don't know, Ty went on to become a two-time conference and New England champion for UMass-Amherst in the 60 meter hurdles.

Reminders for everyone...the Banquet is Wednesday, February 26th at 6:30 in the cafeteria. It's posted on the schedule sidebar to the right, so you won't miss it. And for those interested, the Spring Track Signup Meeting will be Thursday the 27th after school in the cafeteria. Registration for all spring sports is due March 6th (done online at familyid.com)

Snow Wins, Two School Records Fall in State D4 Meet!

Any time there's a realignment, new teams and new individuals emerge. Now we're in Division 4 out of 5 (as opposed to 3 out of 4), and it looks like Holliston is gaining notice.

I hate ranking performances among our own kids, so I'm copping out as usual by going in chronological order.

Batting leadoff was our freshman phenom sprinter. Emma Guccione and seemingly half of Massachusetts was entered in the girls 55 meter dash. She beat nearly half the field, finishing 44th out of 84 in 8.06, just missing her PR!

Logan Cotto continued our early work on the infield. He just barely snuck into the finals as the eighth man out of eight, running 8.23 in the preliminary round. Fully warmed up, he overcame being stuck on the inside lane to take fifth in 8.08, just 0.01 off his PR!

Our next competitor was the #1 seed in the 600, sophomore Sydney Snow. Having just missed All-States by 0.2 seconds last year, this year the agonizingly close margin became one of victory, as our sensational soph ran 1:40.32 to sneak past a Watertown girl by 0.05 seconds for the win! She's our first indoor class champion since Emmaline Berg in 2009, and the youngest class champion since at least 2001, possibly earlier.

Katie Salley narrowly missed the school record in the 1000, but still made the top 10 in 3:13.37. Her day, however, was far from over. Back over on the infield, Madison Ward cleared 5'0 to take seventh in what's the strongest division by far for the high jump.

All that was left was the relays, which didn't disappoint our small army of fans that came to cheer. First up was the girls 4x800. They were seeded 5th, but keep in mind that was with a 10:19 run with a certain 600 meter State Class Champion. With a new group, how would they measure up? Quite well, as Madison Ward (2:35), Eve Bagley (2:31), Alexis Mejia (2:33), and Katie Salley (2:34) ran 10:13, the third-fastest time in school history and fourth place overall!

The boys came in seeded 11th out of 14. After the first legs of Ryan Leonard (2:10), Ryan Moser (2:08), and Mike Glazebrook (2:12), Jack Boyd was in ninth place in his first race as an anchor leg. Scorching the track in 60.5 seconds for the first 400, he passed not one, not two, but three teams to lead the team to a sixth place finish in 8:34.3, a full 10 seconds lower than the school record!

The last race of the day involved one more school record attempt. The 4x4 record had been on the minds of some of these athletes for three years. Shauna Rockett's race of her life gave us a 62.1 opening leg, and after Virginia Hanstad (64.8) and Emma Guccione (63.6), Sydney Snow pushed through despite being in a bit of "no-man's land" to close in 63 for a 4:14.66, beating the school record of 4:15.54!

The girls cracked the top 10, finishing 10th with 17 points. Our boys were 27th with 7 points.

Sydney's automatically advanced to the All-State Meet on Saturday. As long as the Division 1 Meet (tomorrow morning) doesn't feature a massive parade of PR's in girls high jump, Madison will likely join her by making her second straight appearance.

I'll post an update on that tomorrow afternoon. Thanks to all who came to cheer!

No practice today/spring registration reminder

Our banquet will be held Wednesday, February 26th at 6:30 in the cafeteria. You can show up as early as 6 if you want to help set up.

The TVL Meet is expected to start at 2:30. It may start slightly later if the invitational that's earlier in the day runs long, but the meet director for that invite thought they'd be done in time for us to begin at 2:30.

12:30 - Bus LEAVES for Reggie Lewis Center (don't be late!)
