Mass. Division 1 championships, 30 May 2008

Quick synopsis of D1 meet by John Huth:
The girls won, overall - 74 points with LS 2nd in 53 points, Andover 3rd in 45

Some huge performances NS took 1-3 in the 2-mile with Kelsey and Madeleine
A 1-2 finish in the mile with Bridget (5:03.62) and a huge effort and PR from Kathy O'Keefe in 5:05.91 (5 second PR)
Pebbles finished very high in the 100m dash and triple jump
Nalis took 1st in the shot and 2nd in the jav
A 2nd place finish in the 4x8 with 9:31.63, I think it was a 4th in the 4x4 with 4:06.44

On the guys side - some ups and downs - Ross took first in the pole vault, jumping 14'-0", missing the record by an inch. Gerald took 3rd in the 400 - missed the call for the race, but ran in the unseeded heat. James didn't qualify for finals in the 100m - a bit disappointment, but he's had a great season. The guys 4x4 took 6th. Yong Cho pulled off a stunning upset of Bryant Wang from LS to take 1st in the hurdles. The boys 4x8 ran a huge effort to take 3rd in 8:09.76 - Sasha had a fantastic leadoff - all four runners did very well in that.
So...overall a good day for the Lions. There's still a last-hurrah for some in the All-States next week in Fall River at Durfee High School!

Go Lions!
