Heptathlon change / AllState recap

We are in the North Heptathlon thus year due to the number of Southern teams that entered. It's at Quincy Stadium, at 98 Coddington Street in Quincy. It is NOT part of Quincy HS.

Ryan Snow placed 22nd in the triple jump yesterday, though virtually the entire field struggled as several "boards" were nothing more than white tape stretched across the runway. He was also the last athlete to compete in the Class if 2014. Truly a remarkable career.

Kylie medaled for the third year in a row as she finished sixth in the 400 in 58.32 a seasonal best!
It was the fastest 400 field ever as the meet record was broken.

Congratulations to all our graduates. Underclassmen please return your uniform if you haven't done so, preferably before the banquet. The banquet us Thursday at 6:30

Lorenzen wins Girls 400, Snow nearly wins Boys Triple!

At a windy Pembroke High School, we had two automatic qualifiers for next week's All-State Championships, led by Division 3 East Champion Kylie Lorenzen (400) and D3 East Runner-Up Ryan Snow (Triple Jump). The girls finished 15th with 17.33 points, the boys came in 21st with 11 points. I'll recap in the order the events were contested.

Madison Ward staretd her busy day with the triple jump, earning her first medal of the day with a jump of 34'5. Over on the track, Abby Meltzer ran 12:31.23 for 30th in the Girls 2 Mile. Up next was Mike Glazebrook, who PR'd by four seconds to take 11th in 10:07.34, thanks in part to a scorching last lap of 67.1!

The 400 hurdlers were next, and both nearly medaled. Eve Bagley was ninth in 70.62, while Ryan Leonard took 11th in 61.37. Continuing our busy morning, Katie Salley was 25th in the mile (5:38.36).

Kelly Alves was the top freshman in the shot put, nearly making the finals with a throw of 32'1.25. She's ahead of where former All-American Emmaline Berg threw her freshman year, so the future is certainly bright. Madison picked up yet another medal, finishing eighth in high jump (4'11).

Back on the track, after Logan Cotto advanced to the 110 hurdle finals, Kylie Lorenzen lined up for just her second 400 of the year. Taking the lead by 150m, she pulled away with a win by nearly a full second, winning in 58.76!

Sydney Snow was up next, and she won her heat of the 800 in 2:24.07, as well as earned a medal for eighth place overall.

Right near the finish, the boys triple jump was hosting the biggest surprises of the day. Mike Donovan was the 29th seed of 30 entries, yet finished ninth with a big PR of 40'3.5, making the finals. Only one other underclassmen beat him. But he wasn't the only surprise in the finals - Ryan Snow came in as the ninth seed with his recent PR at TVL's (41'1.5), but a TWO FOOT PR of 43'2.75 gave him second place, earning a trip to All-States!

Logan matched his seed from the prelims, earning sixth in the 110 hurdles at 16.29. The boys 4x100 was 19th overall, as the quartet of Sam Ratcliffe, Liam Hebert, Donovan, and Ed Bennie ran 47.42. Finally, the girls 4x400 of Snow, Bagley, Helen Dolan, and Lorenzen finished fifth in 4:16.75.

Two of the class meets (Div. 1 and Div. 2 East) go tomorrow, I'll post the Girls 400 and Boys Triple Jump seeds tomorrow night once those meets are finished.

If you finished competing today, you can turn your jersey in to me after school on Monday.

Lorenzen wins 400 at Last Chance Meet!

Although she had run a scorching anchor leg at Relays, Kylie Lorenzen still had yet to run an open 400 this year. So while she still needed to qualify for states (can't use relay splits), she also wanted to make sure she got into the fast heat. To say she accomplished her goal would be an understatement. Ripping through the first 200 in 27-mid, already with nearly a second lead, she ran 58.86 to win by over a second, and just miss the meet record by 0.17. It's the #2 time in Division 3 East, setting herself as a favorite for All-States and potential class champion.

Performance list for EMass goes up Wednesday.

TVL Recap

The official results were finally posted last night, so here's the extended recap of the Tri-Valley League Meet. The girls finished fourth with 61.5 points, the boys sixth with 23.

The first event was the Freshman Mile, and though it wasn't scored, it was a heck of a race by Addie Datz, who finished second in 5:54.25.

Up next was the 400 hurdles, with Anna Foster claiming 10th in 75.98, and Eve Bagley ran a time of 69.52 to take second place, still within a second of the school record. Ryan Leonard ran 60.62 to take fourth for the boys.

The 200 was next, and Virginia Hanstad was 18th in 29.40, and Kylie Lorenzen finished third in a seasonal best of 26.61! Ed Bennie was 24.45 in 13th place.

Katie Salley came up with six more points for the girls with a third-place showing in the mile with a 5:37, trailing only two of the best milers in the entire state. 

In the 100, Sam Ratcliffe was 14th (12.48), Elena Daly took 17th (14.50), and Kylie Lorenzen earned another top-six ribbon with a sixth place showing of 13.24.

The first field events started to finish up. Madison Ward nearly won the high jump, as she finished third on the misses tiebreaker at 5'2, nearly clearing 5'4 on her last attempt. The surprise of the day, so far happened in long jump. After Elena Daly (15th, 13'8.5) and Alexis Mejia (12th, 14'1.75), Sydney Snow came in as the 12th seed, not even high enough to be in the top flight. But she not only made the finals, but claimed third place with a jump of 15'7, nearly qualifying for states and setting a PR of almost a foot!

Rachel Kriegsman was 15th in the discus (62'9), and Sophia Rahim had a huge PR to take 10th at 67'2.

Ryan Snow PR'd by over a foot to take fourth in the triple jump (41'1.5), while Mike Donovan made states at 39'0.25 and Logan Cotto jumped 39'0, taking 10th and 11th respectively.

Reuben Jacobsen (33'6.25) and Matt Wolfson (35'10), were 12th and ninth in the shot put, as Reuben had one of his best throws in competition this year.

Matt had a monster PR in javelin, by over 10 feet as he threw 130'4 for eighth place. Tanner also PR'd at 119'4 (14th), while Reuben was 21st (103'9).

Back on the track, Hana Gross was 19th (21.27) and Bridget Ghelli (18.30) finished 13th. Logan Cotto served notice by destroying the field in the trials with a 15.50 (third fastest in EMass Div. 3), then won easily in the finals in 15.70 to become the TVL CHAMPION!

Both 4x100 teams earned ribbons by finishing sixth. The girls team of Ally Rosati, Izzy Getchell, Kelsey Crowley, and Madison Savas ran 56.32, while the boys team of Ratcliffe, Liam Hebert, Donovan, and Bennie ran 47.51.

Alexis Mejia finished eighth in the 800 (2:33.61), and Sydney Snow had another PR by finishing third in 2:24.65. Tanner Datz was 18th in 2:19.75.

We nearly had two medalists in the girls 400, as Madison Ward went from the 12th seed to 7th place in 65.40, and Helen Dolan took sixth in 64.36. Ryan Snow and Rick Brown finished seventh (54.31) and eighth (54.50), a big PR for Rick.

Abby Meltzer nearly medaled in the 2-mile, taking seventh in 12:38. Ed Glazebrook was ninth (10:54), and Mike Glazebrook claimed fifth (10:24).

Back at field events, Madison took second in triple jump (33'6), while Kelly Alves was the only freshman to medal in shot put (sixth, 30'3.5), and had a big PR of 87'1 to take eighth in jav. Rachel was 19th (65'8). For the boys, Liam was 13th in long jump (17'5.5), while Logan took eighth (18'5.5). Ryan Leonard was 20th in discus (85'4), Sam Gillman 23rd (69'3).

Last but not least was the 4x400. The boys team of Leonard, Brown, Datz, and Snow finished fifth in 3:45.23, almost matching their seasonal best. The girls closed things out with a flourish. Eve Bagley opened the race, handing off to Helen Dolan in a pack of three fighting for the lead. Helen accelerated so quickly at the 200m mark that she stunned officials and rival coaches, opening up a 1-second lead on Hopkinton as she handed off to Anna Foster. Anna did a great job maintaining the lead, and Sydney Snow found herself battling the same anchor that Hopkinton had race her in Indoor TVLs. Fortunately the result was the same. Despite two different attempts by the Hiller to pass her, Sydney held the lead and the girls became TVL CHAMPIONS in 4:16.40!q
