Kelly Alves & Brook Geoffroy lead the way

Kelly had a HUGE day medaling in two events!
She heaved the Shot put 38'11" in what is close to a PR if not (I will check with Coach Manny) for a strong 4th place finish there.  And then had what looks like her 2nd longest Discus toss of 112'8" for 6th place.  I'm not sure the last time we had someone place in two events in All States - way to finish off a storied career Kelly!!!  She qualified for New England's in two events!!!  Not sure if that has happened in the past.  Couldn't happen to be a better kid - good luck Kelly!!

Brook Geoffroy picked a great time for her PR of 5'4" to tie for a 4th place medal finish and  qualified for New England's and Nationals!!!  Pretty awesome for a sophomore!

Caroline Ward finished jumped 35'7" to finish in 8th place in the Triple Jump.

Hampton Boyd finished off with what I think was his PR at 50.92.  Good enough to finish 11th of the 22 best in the state - nicely done Hampton!!  Coach Kelly gave me an update and mentioned that the guy with the school record had a converted time of 50.04, so this is likely the 3rd fastest time in school history!

Becca Stevens ended up finishing at 5' for the High Jump to place 20th.

Congratulations to all the competitors - it is a great accomplishment to make it to All States!
