Class M Girls
Highlights:
Freshman ran wild in the shorter distance events as Jalena Martin won the 100m, Marie Kane took the 200m, and Caden Simpson captured the 100H. Seniors Julia Rosenberg in the 800m and 1600m and Kaila Lujambo in the 300H made sure that the elders got their share, while Gabriella Zeller represented the sophomore class in the 400m and Peyton Bornstein took one for the juniors in the 3200m.
The nip-and-tuck battle for the team title between Weston and Sheehan really played out in the relays. Sheehan in the 4x100m and Weston in the 4x400m were big favorites and came up winners, but 5th seeded Tolland sliced more than 43 seconds off its seed time to take the 4x800m. In the final 4x400m relay, Weston trailed by 5.5 points going to the line, but the 7-point difference between a 1st and a 6th turned things around.
In the field events, Kedarjah Lewis took the long jump while finishing 2nd to Erin Brennan in the triple jump, big favorite Courtney Rowland captured the triple jump, and Ellison Weiner boosted her PR by a foot to win the pole vault. Caitlyn Hunt bested her top-seeded Sheehan teammate Darla Jagrosse to win the shot, Marina Perry won the discus as expected, and Shea Greene set a meet record in the javelin.
