Division 3 EMass Meet/Banquet Update (last one!)

Lot to catch up on, so here it is.

The banquet will be held at 6:30 PM at the Christ the King Church on Friday, June 12. RSVP's were due last week, so we should have an accurate head count to give Bazel's for catering

The Eastern Mass Division 3 meet was postponed yet again. It's now on Wednesday, fortunately the weather actually looks great for that day, so no chance that it moves back any further!

Start time is later than usual, here's the approximate schedule. Please note, this is APPROXIMATE. If a lot of kids scratch, might go ahead of schedule. Or - more likely - if the meet takes a while, later events may start a bit later than listed.

If you're competing in a later event, you can have your parents drive you in but I need to know ahead of time. Arrive 90 minutes before your event is supposed to start.

1:15 - Students dismissed from class. No announcement, your responsibility to remind your teachers.
1:30 - Bus leaves for Durfee High School in Fall River.
2:30/2:45 - Arrive at Durfee.
4:00 - First field events....if we left after school got out, earliest would be 2:20 with the regular buses taking up space, and then we'd likely get to the meet at 3:40, which would rush the field event athletes. Plan accordingly regarding when to eat, etc.

Div 3's POSTPONED to Tuesday!

The Division 3 East meet has been postponed to Tuesday due to the chance of thunderstorms on Sunday/Monday.

Field events would start at 3:30, Running events at 4:30. Same order for those events as before, just a different start time.

Obviously we're not having the banquet the same day as the Division 3 East meet, when a new date has been confirmed I'll post an update here.

6 Winners, Two Records in historic TVL Championship Meet

Congratulations to both the boys and girls teams for yesterday's strong showing at the Tri-Valley League Meet. The boys were fifth with 48.5 points, their best total since 2012 as well as more than 2013 and 2014 combined! The girls were third but with 80 points had their highest total since the 1990s!
Earlier addition failed to include the girls LJ and TJ, somehow coolrunning didn't include them.
We had SIX event winners, including Kylie Lorenzen leading the way with two individual wins and anchoring another..while breaking one of her many school records. Eve Bagley also broke a long-awaited school record.
I'll start with girls, track, then field.
Jill Davis (14.67) and Kelsey Crowley (14.97) both dealt with the early winds to nearly set electronic-timed PR's in the 100. Elena Daly had a huge race to take 12th in the 200 in 29.25, a PR faster than any hand-timed 200 she's run. Cassandra Kelly was 18th in 30.03.
Kylie was in a fight at the 200m mark, but a massive surge along the far turn gave her the 400 win going away, running 60.41. Helen Dolan nearly scored out of an unseeded heat, finishing 7th in 65.16.
Sydney Snow led a trio of 800 runners with a third place finish in 2:25.77. Alexis Mejia was 10th in 2:37.67, and McKinley Vrees had a 4-second PR in 2:44.04 to take 15th!
Keelie Verbeek PR'd in a 6:04 for runner-up in the girls freshman mile. In the varsity mile, Kelly Irons was 13th in 5:59.74, Adri Grinder 18th in 6:24.53.
Katie Salley, in probably the deepest sub-12 minute field we've seen in the 2-mile, took fourth in 11:54.83, while Addie Datz claimed 8th in 12:34.64.
Bridget Ghelli took eighth in the 100 hurdles despite having to run her heat of the finals twice, with a best time of 17.48, a converted PR when you factor in the electronic difference.
Eve Bagley, despite a strong early headwind on the backstretch, took second in the 400 hurdles (68.67), breaking Steph Paolillo's school record by 0.03! Anna Foster was 12th in 76.43.
The girls 4x100 relay team wasn't seeded in the top six, but the team of Keara Shaughnessy, Caroline Ward, Simona Biundo, and Helen Dolan placed fifth in 54.74.
The girls 4x400 relay team pulled away late, as Eve, Alexis, Syd, and Kylie ran 4:11.45!

Kelly Alves was seeded third in the shot put, but won by two inches with a best of 32'5.25! Danielle Lamb was 14th at 25'3.5! Danielle was also ninth in the discus at 76'8, Sophia Rahim 16th at 60'7. Kelly came back for a ninth in the javelin (90'2), and Amelia Porter took 15th with a PR of 75'3

Kylie Lorenzen trailed Ashland's jumper early on, but not only took first place in the finals, she bested her own school record with a jump of 17'7.5, beating some of the boys' marks! Elena Daly also had a PR in hers (still checking for the distance)
Madison Ward continued her season-long dominance of high jump, clearing 5'0 to add an outdoor title to go with the indoor championship.  Both Madison (a close second) and Caroline (fifth) medaled in the triple jump, as we continued our jumps domination.
The boys were only expected to score 33 points based on the performance list, and to be in a fight among fifth-seventh. Sam Campbell was 10th in the 100 in 12.23 (Converted PR!), Roy Mitri 18th in 12.71.
Ed Bennie took 12th in the 200 (25.13). The 400 served as notice for the future, Ryan Sofoul was the top freshman in 56.52, ninth place overall, while Rick Brown was the top underclassmen at second overall in 53.43, just edging out third by 0.01!

Kevin Ricard took 18th in the 800 (2:27.86), and Mike Glazebrook used a huge late move to vault from fifth to third in the mile for a PR of 4:39.80, breaking the long-awaited sub-4:40 barrier! Ed Glazebrook had a seasonal best in the 2 mile, taking seventh in 10:50.25. Tim Strang nearly won the freshman mile, setting a new PR with a second-place time of 5:17.14.

The boys 4x100 relay team was seeded fifth but the squad of Sam Ratcliffe, Liam Hebert, Tucker Ciarcello, and Matt McIsaac finished fourth in 47.25. The 4x400 relay team also was fourth in 3:45.18, composed of Rick, Ryan, Mike, and Ed.

Over in field, Mark Mulvaney was 10th in shot put (37'6.5), while Jake Hancock leapfrogged half the field in discus to take fourth at a PR of 110'1. Chris Zuraski was 18th at 72'9. Matt Wolfson was 11th in javelin (114'4), while Reuben Jacobson was 17th (105'6).

Cam Dudley tied for eighth in high jump at 5'2, while Sam Campbell was 11th at 5'0. Mike Donovan rallied in the triple jump, taking first place with a finals jump of 40'9! Finishing close behind in fifth was Matt McIsaac at 38'2.

The long jump was a Holliston Underclassmen Parade, as Donovan nearly pulled off a double win with a second-place showing of 19'10.75 - (new PR!), Liam Hebert was fifth at 19'1, and Tucker Ciarcello was tied for sixth at 18'9.5.
