Without their 400 leg from D3 Relays (Kylie with them in spirit, hopefully not being chased by bears while out in Wyoming), the girls nonetheless all stepped up and shattered their seed time of 4:16.56. Not only that, they won their heat and finished FOURTH overall in the Emerging Elite Sprint Medley with a time of 4:14.01, breaking the TVL record in the process!
Unofficial splits for first three were 28 and change for Madison and Caroline, 61 for Eve, and (only electronic split the meet had), a 2:16.14 for Sydney as she powered from sixth to first in the last 500 meters!
Words can not express how epic of an accomplishment this is. So, if a picture is worth 1000 words...
Wait, but how many words is a video of the race worth? Here's the link. Holliston TC (they have to run as a club, MIAA rules won't allow them to wear our normal jerseys) have black tops and black/light blue shorts. Madison and Caroline are in the middle lanes, Eve cuts in to lane 1 when her leg starts.

Today, Caroline came back with a vengeance after a four and a half hour wait to PR at 35'1.25 in the Freshman Triple Jump! Her mark would've been 2nd last year, this year it was 14th but out of SIXTY SIX athletes!
Madison had a short wait at one of two high jump pits, but with the highest opening height she's ever had (5'1.75, which took out nearly half the field!), she cleared it on her third attempt. Unforunately a short, but torrential downpour delayed the event by 30 minutes, and she was the second person to jump after the meet resumed. She just barely missed 5'3.75 on her second attempt, but still finished 22nd out of 46!
Congrats to all four girls on a terrific ending to a sensational season!
