Today's Last Chance meet at Reggie Lewis in Boston proved to be a great time for Holliston. Madison Ward as well as Emma Guccione, Eve Bagley & Sydney Snow qualified for the New Balance Indoor Nationals coming up in March at the famous Armory Track in New York City!
Madison tied her PR with a leap of 5'4" in the High Jump. She easily eclipsed the field (by 3 inches!) on her way to the victory while punching her individual ticket to Nationals!
Later, while most everyone else had left Reggie, the girls Sprint Medley Relay team was getting ready to attempt to make Nationals which they narrowly missed at Division 4 Relays a few weeks ago. With mostly coaches and a few track junkies left in the stands, Emma started out with a blazing first 200 meter leg, it looks like her split was in the 26/27 range which was a fantastic start. Madison took the handoff and ran the next 200 leg and handed off to Eve with a slight lead. (Sidenote - Madison had just finished after her High Jump event about 30 minutes prior!) Eve worked hard to bring the baton to Sydney just behind the strongest North Andover runner in the 400 leg. Sydney took the baton and passed her competitor after the first 275 meters. She had consistent splits of between 34 & 35 to bring her 800 split in around 2:17 and finish at 4:14.57 - well under the National Indoor Championship qualifying time of 4:16!
The girls improved their time by a full 5 seconds from 3 weeks ago.
So we currently have Sydney (800 Meters) & Madison (High Jump) both qualified in their individual events. They will be joined by Emma and Eve to compete in the Sprint medley. Quite a day for our Track Girls!
Next up - TVL's this Saturday back at Reggie Lewis Track in Roxbury.

Elite Meet Results - Sydney Snow qualifies for Nationals!
Sydney Snow beat her school record and personal best by over 2 seconds to punch her ticket to New Balance Nationals in NYC with a time of 2:57.35 in the 1,000 meters! She placed 5th (good for a medal!) in a hugely competitive meet. To put it in perspective, if she had this time last year she would have finished 2nd!
Both Caroline and Madison Ward ended up in a tie for 5th place with a third jumper after they each cleared the height of 5'1" to give Holliston another couple of medalists!
Kelly Alves improved her seed by 1 and finished 11th with a toss of 33'6".
The Girls 4x400 relay team of Emma Guccione, Eve Bagley, Helen Dolan and Sydney Snow had their best time of the season at 4:13.67 and improve on their seed by three places to finish 14th.
Eve Bagley finished at 1:42.54 good for 22nd and Helen Dolan had a nice PR at 1:43.07 for 23rd in the 600.
Rick Brown finished 24th at 38.20.
Emma Guccione gutted out a 27th place finish despite being sick, to finish the 300 at 43.70.

School Records at the Relays!
The Boys and Girls went to D4 relays on Friday night and came home with a couple of impressive School Records!
Also, I would like to apologize in advance, I was not at the meet and do not know several of the athletes who competed, so please feel free to shoot me an email and I will update the information here as soon as I receive them.
The Boys 4x200 relay of Yoel, Jesse, Ryan Sofoul and Patrick Mejia finished in 1:42.05, third in their heat and 24th overall.
The Girls started out with the Sprint Medley Relay and turned in a performance which crushed the previous Holliston High record by 9 seconds. Sydney Snow started out with the 800 meter leg of the relay and gave Emma Guccione a lead for her blazing 200 leg. Caroline Ward took the baton from Emma and kept the very comfortable lead and handed off to Eve Bagley who finished a solid 8 seconds ahead of the next competitor in the race!
Unfortunately the team just missed the New Balance Indoor National mark of 4:18 by a little more than a second.
The Girls Shot Put team of Kelly Alves, Taylor Rowles and Jana Paecht finished 11th out of 27 competitors.
The Boys Shot Put team placed 12th of 23 teams.
The Girls Distance Medley Relay had a great race with Alexis Mejia (1,200 leg) passing to Lauren Salley (800) to Helen Dolan (400) to Addie Datz (mile) were seeded 7th and finished a heartbreaking .42 out of a medal in 7th!
The Boys 4x400 team blew away their heat by 7 seconds and finished a strong 14th out of 34 teams! (Apologies, I wasn't there and don't know who competed.
The Girls 4x400 Team of Emma, Eve B, Madison W. (who had to basically run over from the High Jump to make it, barely!) and Sydney ended up in 3rd place with a 4:16.0.
The last event of the evening to finish was the girls High Jump, which the Holliston ladies crushed!
Madison Ward led the way with a final height of 5'3", she was one of only two to reach it. Caroline Ward followed that with a 5'1" jump. And Rebecca Stevens finished with 4'6" to give Holliston the victory by two inches! They also shattered the previous school record by 5 inches. (Just made that up, it's a guess, but think its probably accurate!)
