Record clairification, All-State Notes

Sorry to the Fantastic Four of Beaudry, Slattery, Krauss, and Sanford, but upon further review you guys just missed the school record, which was 1:36.38 set at the 2001 All-State Meet. It's the fastest any Holliston team has ever run at the Division 3 Meet, and the fact you guys finished 7th despite being seeded 17th is a fantastic accomplishment in of itself.

We have some "scoreboard watching" to do for All-States. The way it works is the top 3 finishers in each of the 4 divisions automatically get to go, plus the next 12 best performances regardless of division. Krauss is already in for the hurdles, Everett and Chisholm still have a chance. The Division 4 results were posted online, so the lists below are updated with only the Division 1 Meet tomorrow remaining.

Hurdles (Krauss already in, I'll list his overall rank)
7.68 - Cross, Falmouth (Div. 2 champion)
7.78 - Raimo, Marbelehead
7.79 - McCarthy, Walpole (Div. 2 runner-up)
7.82 - KRAUSS, HOLLISTON
*The winner of Division 4 was 7.91

Here's the Shot Put, I'm only listing the wild cards (everyone that's not in as an automatic). Cam has to be in the top 12 for this list to make it.

49-10.25 - Staub, Dracut (Div. 2)
49-9.75 - Jennings, Wilmington (Div. 3)
49-3.75 - White, Bourne (Div. 3)
49-0.5 - CHISHOLM, HOLLISTON
No potential wild cards threw over 49' in the Div. 4 meet

High Jump - I have to double-check, but if the last wild card is at a certain height, I think they take everyone from the division that made it. In other words, they'll take more than the usual 24 kids (12 automatics, 12 wild cards).

Division 3 - 8 non-automatic qualifiers at 5'0 (Rachel 3rd among them on tiebreakers)
Division 2 - 3 non-automatic qualifiers at 5'0
Division 4 - 3 non-automatic qualifiers at 5'0
I'll update this list after Div. 1 tomorrow.
