We have the offical Performance Lists for the All State Meet on Saturday at Reggie Lewis Track in Boston/Roxbury
Sydney is the 10th seed in what Milesplit MA - is calling 'the race' on the Girl's side - 1,000 meters. Good news is she will be running with THE top girls in the state and actually two of them have times in the top 10 in the U.S. In last year's meet she was in the 1,000, but was in the slower of the two heats. This year she is in the fast heat, which will help her as she attempts to shave time off her PR of 2:57.35.
Madison is also listed as the 10th seed of the High Jump - not really sure exactly how they determine the seeds, but think it has to do with on which attempt (1st, 2nd or 3rd) that the athlete clears their top height. So in essence, Madison cleared 5'2" on either her 1st or 2nd jump at Divisionals. So anyone who cleared it on their 3rd attempt would be seeded behind her.
Congratulations to Caroline Ward in making the All State meet as a Sophomore - she is one of only 5 other underclasswomen to make this meet!! She is currently seeded 19th after clearning 5'0" - she made the grade (or in this case - height)!
The Girls High Jump ended up with 31 competitors and however they determined who made the cut, we lost out on having Freshman phenom Becca Stevens getting a crack at All States. Becca, don't let it get you down - you had an AWESOME season!!
Now a bit of editorial. Madison has cleared 5'4" inches at Reggie Lewis before, that is the top height that anyone at Divisionals cleared. She has a real shot at being one of THE top competitors here. While Caroline hasn't reached 5'4" yet in a meet, I don't think anyone affiliated with Holliston track doubts she has that in her near future. (Becca too!)
Kelly Alves is right in the thick of things with her Wildcard berth at 16th on the list of seeds going into the state meet. If you put her top throw from the year, she would be 11th on the list!
The Girls 4x400 Relay team of Emma Guccione, Eve Bagley, Madison Ward & Sydney Snow is currently also ranked 16th out of 24 teams with a time of 4:10.17.
GOOD LUCK TO THE ALL THE GIRL'S - YOU CAN IMPROVE ON YOUR PR'S!!
