Athletes of the Meet: Shireen Luick (So) and Dustin Staples (Fr)! Shireen took more than a minute off of her racewalk time, as well as adding 13 feet to one of her throws. Dustin ran a sub 60 second leg in the 4x4 and then proceeded to jump just shy of 18 feet in LJ.
Whew. Today was quite the day. The meet (including Messalonskee, Leavitt and the two obvious teams) started out with the 4x8; Sr. Gwen Beacham, Fr. Sarah Wade, Jr. Addie Cullenberg (Me), and Fr. Miranda Nicely. We crushed our previous season time of a 10:44 with a 10:28 (the school record, set last year by Gwen, Louisa Stancioff, Melody Lam and myself, is a 10:01.25). I ended up with a split of a 2:33, 4 seconds slower than my best 4x8 leg time. Gwen followed with a 2:34. Last year at this time we were running in the low 2:40's. It's wonderful to be able to recognize improvement for our dedicated practices. Miranda and Gwen both took the plunge in trying the open 400, in which they placed 2nd and 3rd respectively to the winner, our very own Sr. Allison Brown. And not to forget or underplay any other event categories, there were several male throwers on the team who DOUBLED their LPR's today!! Also, hurray for Shawnee for getting up after that last hurdle in the 300mH and finishing, giving our girls an extra point (we won to Mess. 108-107)
My events:
4x8
800
3200
4x4
Incase you are unfamiliar with event scheduling, the 4x8 was the first event, then toward the end is the 800, and after that is the 200, followed by the 2 mile. Meets conclude with the 4x4. My last three events were almost in direct order. I was shooting for a 13:30 in the 32 because I had not done it since the beginning of last season. Let's just say I ended up with a lot of cheering from the Maranacook boy's team who so desperately wanted to see me beat some of their guys (twas a combined event), and I ended up running a 12:50. Also, congrats to Emily Ramsey for winning both the hurdle events today :D
KKNW, Addie
