Practice note for this week

I posted the practice schedule for the next few weeks earlier, but just a reminder that we're at 2:30 today through Friday. We will have a shorter practice on Friday, so anyone going to the Freshman/Sophomore semiformal will be out in time to get ready.

Later in the week, I'll post the order of events for dual meets. It's the same at each one, so you should get in the habit of memorizing when you're likely to race.

Don't forget to bring warm clothes for this week. Remember, if it's too warm, you can always leave them in your locker.

The banquet starts at 6:30 in the cafeteria on Wednesday night. Seniors are asked to come at 5:30 to help set up.

Pizza, Calzone, and Salads from Stone Hearth Pizza will be served. A gluten-free pizza option is also provided.

If you haven't already done so, send $10 per family to Leslie Sanford, 12 Turner Road, Holliston MA 01746, and let her know how many people you're bringing.

At the All-State Meet, Andrew Krauss led the way with a 9th place finish in the hurdles at 7.93, just missing the finals. It's the highest place a member of the boys' team has finished at All-States since 1993. Cam Chisholm was 21st in the shot put (45'3), and Rachel Everett was tied for 16th in the high jump at 5'0.

All-State Seeds - Krauss, Chisholm and Everett!

After a few days of "scoreboard watching", we know who's going to All-States, and where they're seeded.

Each event takes 12 automatic qualifiers (the top 3 finishers in each of the 4 division), plus the next 12 best performances after that (wild cards). In cases of the high jump, where kids are tied, they take everyone at that height.
