Since J.Huth is sunning himself on a beach in Jamaica, the Newton South report will be a little late.
from John H.:
I'm off to Jamaica first thing in the AM (this time, I hope for real).
A great meet - Gerald took 4th in the 300. Bridget smoked 'em in the mile, taking first in 5:01.76, Juliet Ryan-Davis ran two huge PR's - taking 4th in the mile in 5:08, and a 2:20 leadoff in the girls 4x8 relay. Kathy O'Keefe took 7th in the mile in 5:14.
Kelsey took 2nd overall in the 2-mile from the slow heat, running 11:07.99. Emily Jones from Bromfield ran a jaw-dropping 10:30.41 for first in the mile, despite achilles tendinitis.
The girls 4x8 finally got LS - when Bridget got the baton just a bit in front of Andrea Keklak, she put the foot on the gas and opened up a huge gap, holding on for the win in 9:23.45 - a new meet record.
The boys 4x2 took 7th overall, missing out on the hardware by just a few hundreths - still the guys were pretty happy with their performance.
I'd write more, but it's getting late.
I don't know if the coaches are going to send anyone to New Englands, or just concentrate on a few folks going to Nat's. We'll see.
It was an exciting meet. Andover took first overall in the scoring because of their depth in sprints and relays.
---------------
Let me add that the boys 4x800 took 6th for 1 point with a very respectable 8:16.61.
The boys team score was 5. (4 points for Gerald's 4th in the 300m and the 4x800 with 1 point). -HF

There are many other stories and photos.
Many fuzzy photos were included because they show a race in progress or a person I had no other photo of: Photos by George - click here
