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!)
