Congratulations to the following athletes who made it to All States in Bridgewater this weekend (Saturday at Bridgewater State):
Becca Stevens - High Jump - seeded 2nd (tied with about 10 girls) and who has qualified for NATIONALS!! She has been jumping well in the big meets and that bodes will for a place high on the medal stand this year. Great season for the soon to be rising Junior!
Kelly Alves - Shot Put AND Discuss!! Not positive of seed, but placed third in the toughest division in both events and is killing it in her Senior year - UMASS will be lucky to have such a great competitor and even better kid!!! She will medal in one event and likely two with a good day.
Hampton Boyd - 400 - No seeds out there as yet. But he has the fastest outdoor time in a long time - his 50.90 beat what Zack Snow timed about 8 years ago. He is about a second within the school record 49.8 by George Tripp back around 1989 (for you high schoolers - we did have sports back then!) NOTE: Coach Kelly thought this may have been the TVL record as well. Great Senior season Hampton!!
Caroline Ward - Triple Jump - Not sure of seed, she scored a wildcard berth as she too was in the most competitive Division in the state by a long ways. She is a major threat to bust out a jump that will place her high on the medal stand at All states. Unfortunately for her the gal from Foxboro in divisionals shattered the previous meet record with a huge jump of 1/4 inch shy of 40'! Beating the old record by over a foot.
Brook Geoffroy - High Jump - another of our great jumpers, Brook could easily bust out a jump to place her in medal contention. She was at 5'2" in Divisionals and that is not her PR.
GOOD LUCK TO ALL OUR ATHLETES, YOU HAVE DONE GREAT SO FAR - BUT THE BEST IS YET TO COME!! Hopefully we will be able to report on a couple athletes going to New Englands!
