Kelly Alves finished 8th in the state with a throw of 34'8 inches! Below have a picture of she and her Dad/Coach with her medal! It was her second best throw of the year. With only two other girls coming back next year ahead of her on the medal stand, Kelly is in a great position to make it to All New Englands next year when she continues her accent up the leaderboard.
Sydney Snow was up in the 1,000 meter race with what Coach Hall from Hopkinton called "a historic race". In the seeded section, Sydney was seeded 10th coming into the race. The race ended up with the top three girls clocking the 3rd, 4th & 5th best times in the U.S. this year! Had she run this time (2:57.79) in the same race anytime in the last 7 years, she would have finished at worst 7th (medal) - just not today! As we stated last week after Divisionals with Kelly being stuck in the deepest division - sometimes you get a tough draw.
Madison and Caroline were part of the High Jump. At All States the first jump is 5', highest of any event. Caroline wasn't able to clear the height. Madison easily cleared the initial height on her first jump easily. Unfortunately, she didn't clear 5'2". It looks as though she placed 11th overall.
The Girls 4x400 Team of Emma Guccione, Eve Bagley, Madison Ward & Sydney Snow finished the race in 4:12.14 finished in 23rd.
PLEASE REMEMBER THE BANQUET IS WEDNESDAY NIGHT. See previous post for details.
