Relays are cold & wet, but awesome!

Both the Girls & Boys teams had success despite the weather not being overly cooperative.

Let's start with the most successful event on both teams the Triple Jump.

For the Girls Madison & Caroline Ward, along with Sydney Snow eclipsed the field by over 7 feet! Madison jumped 35'11" and change and Caroline was at 35'6", Sydney PR'd with 32'5".

The Boys finished 2nd and had three PR's: Leading the way was Mike Donovan at 43'5", next was Matt McIsaac joining the 40' club with a jump of 40'2.75" and Satchel Snow jumped 35'8.75".

The HUGE win for the Girls was in the High Jump where they tied the Division 3 meet record with a combined total of 15'3".  The competitors here were Madison Ward (5'3", Rebecca Stevens (5'1") & Brooke Geoffroy (4'11").  With Caroline Ward also in the HJ mix, this is the strongest Holliston HJ team in a long long time.  It will be great to see them at TVL's, Divisionals and All States.

Other Medal winning efforts at the relay.

Boys Long Jump - 3rd place behind Matt McIsaac with a jump of over 21', Mike Donovan with a jump over 20' and Cam Dudley with a jump of 19'7"

Girls 4x400 - 4th place behind Eve Bagley, Alexis Mejia, Helen Dolan & Sydney Snow

Girls Sprint Medley - 5th place with Sydney running the 800, followed by Madison & Caroline Ward each with a 200 leg and Eve finishing with the 400 leg.
