Long Jump
Meet Record: 23-10.5 Last Year's Winner: Charles Smith (Milton) 23-9.5
Last year's 100m champ and long jump 5th place finisher Richmond Kwaateng of Lowell is focused only on the LJ this year, and he has a slight edge there this year from his 23-10 leap at MIAA E Div. 1. Acton-Boxborough's Adam Yang was a foot and a half back of Kwaateng there and is 11th seeded, but he's done 23-9.75 and was 4th last year, so this contest should be very close. Kwaateng's teammate David Ajama did 23-6.5 for a 3rd at Loucks, and Milton's Isiah Woodley is at 23-0.5.
Triple Jump
Meet Record: 49-6 Last Year's Winner: Nate Hobbs (St. John's Prep) 46-6

Pole Vault
Meet Record: 16-7 Last Year's Winner: Isaiah Powers (Westborough) 13-3

Shot Put
Meet Record: 67-10.75 Last Year's Winner: Aiden Felty (Innovation Academy) 61-7
Innovation Academy junior Aiden Felty won by more than 5 and a half feet last year, and this year he has upped the ante with a 65-9.25 bomb at MIAA E Div. 4 that gives him more than a 10 and a half foot advantage over everyone else. In the throng behind Felty, four guys who have gone over 52 include Joe Rivers of Lunenburg at 55-3, Henry Sobieszczyk of Newton North at 53-7.75, and Beau Bernadeau of North Andover at 52-7.
Discus
Meet Record: 178-0 Last Year's Winner: Matt McDermott (Andover) 169-1
Aiden Felty has the third best MA mark in the discus this season, but he will enter the MIAA seeded #1 in both the shot put and discus. His best discus throw this year of 156-3.5 is a little behind the 157-7 he threw last year at MIAA for 4th. Plymouth South's Andrew Zeoli is ranked 7th in the state but will be seeded 2nd at the MIAA at 147-3. Andrew Fleming of Acton-Boxborough is 3rd seeded at 145-5

Alexander Weiler of Bridgewater Raynham is a dozen feet behind at 182-0, and three other guys who have gone further than 175 include Seth Cordeiro of Deighton Rehoboth, Nick Spoor of Concord, and Noah Singer of West Springfield.
Pentathlon
Meet Record: 3592 Last Year's Winner: Manni Peri-Okonny (Wachusett) 3397
Jordan Williams (Brockton) finished 5th last year at 3114, but his 3504 at MIAA E D1 was a US #1, and he is the huge favorite this year. Cameron Rodgers of Durfee is the only other guy to have broken 3200 with the 3349 that he got for 2nd place behind Williams at MIAA E D1.
