The Girls and Boys were in Burlington on Saturday competing in the Division 3 track meet in some serious heat.
We had several athletes qualify for All States!
Athletes who finished in the top three automatically qualify for All-States at Westfield State College next week. Others who can qualify would need to have one of the six best performances (after the automatic top 3 in each division) in all divisions in their respective event to get to All States.
In order of finishes:
Madision Ward finished her Divisional career in style by winning the High Jump after clearing 5'2" in her first attempt!! Automatically qualifying for All States (since she is a senior, it is yet to be determined if she will go to the meet). ALL STATES - SEEDED 6th.
Mike Donovan finished 2nd in the Triple Jump by eclipsing 44' again ending up at 44'3"! Another of our Automatic qualifiers. ALL STATES - SEEDED 6th.
Caroline Ward finished 3rd in the Triple Jump with a leap of 36'.25" and punched her ticket to All States - quite an accomplishment for the Sophomore!! - ALL STATES - SEEDED 10th.
Kelly Alves heaved the Shot 34'11" to secure 4th place (WILD CARD!). ALL STATES - SEEDED 22nd - but can really move up with a throw she is very capable of.
Madison Ward picked a good time for what may be her PR when she jumped 17'3.25" to capture 4th in the Long Jump! (Wild card). ANOTHER ALL STATE TICKET FOR MADISON - SEEDED 13th.
Rebecca Stevens cleared 5'0" to finish 4th in the High Jump (WILD CARD as a FRESHMAN!). ALL STATES - SEEDED 28th.
Sydney Snow posted an Outdoor 800 PR with a time of 2:18.16 good for 6th place in a deep field, and qualified for All States as a WILD CARD! She will be competing next week for sure (this is the one person I know about at the moment!) - ALL STATES - SEEDED 14th
The girls 4x400 team of Eve Bagley, Helen Dolan, Sydney Snow and Alexis Mejia posted a season's best time of 4:05.20 and 6th place. ALL STATE - SEEDED -13th!

The sunglasses (not due to the sun - since it was about 8:30 p.m.!) clearly helped the Boys 4x400 team of Rick Brown, Steve Gallivan, Kevin Montain and Ryan Sofoul to a season's best time of 3:37.75 as they easily won their heat in an exciting final event of the day for the team!
The Boys 4x100 relay team of Kyle Papulis, Rick Brown, Mike Donovan and anchored by Matt McIsaac finished 2nd in their heat and 13th overall.
