HUGE SHOUT OUT TO COACHES LEVASSEUR & MOREAU!! Both made the trip to help their athletes during the meet - MANY THANKS COACHES!!
Madison was up first Friday a bit after noon in the Emerging Elite section of the High Jump. She came very close to her PR by clearing a height of 5'3.25", good for 8th place in her event! She actually tied several girls for the 2nd best leap of the day in her event. Not too shabby...
Sydney was next in the Emerging Elite section of the 800. She had a time of 2:18.70 good for 22nd out of 26 runners. Though she was looking for a faster time - she did have her best time running the 800 indoors.
Then on Saturday afternoon, the girls were in the Championship section of the Sprint Medley Relay (SMR). Running in the 3rd of 6 heats, Emma as usual led off. Since they don't list the individual splits anywhere that I can find, we aren't sure of her exact time. It looked as though we were in the middle of the heat when she handed to Madison. Who ran her 200 leg and handed off to Eve just .02 behind Ipswich. Eve ran her 400 handing to Sydney after running a 1:01.40. Sydney took the baton trailing in the heat. She was able to improve on her time from the day before and finish well with a 2:17.10 split for her 800 leg, good for 3rd in the heat and 18th in the Championship section out of 29 teams.
Our archrival in the SMR from this area, Hopkinton ran in the next heat and barely eked out a better time than Holliston for the indoor race - running it in 4:14.18 (to our 4:14.44). So while some may have been a little bummed about that, fear not...
Their goal was to "take the TVL record back" from Holliston, they didn't accomplish this due to our girls run at New Balance Outdoor Nationals last year. So our time of 4:14.01 is still the TVL record for the SMR - go Panthers!!
See you in a few weeks for the beginning of the Outdoor Season.
