GIRLS

The following is from girls' coach Bob Clarke:

Ten girls from SHS competed at Newton South high school Sarurday against teams that they normally don't see. 

All 10 did very well against so many of these teams.

The 4 x 400-meter team of Amy Kelly, Jennifer Billo, Marissa Williams and Amy Kelly met their seed time of 4.40.23.

The triple jumpers all did very well - Sarah Quattrucci (29'1/4"), Marissa Williams (27'6") and Jennifer Billo (26'9").

Emily Quattrucci threw the javelin 73'4" and Ashley Otero threw the shot 22' 8.25".

BOYS

The following is from Stoughton coach Harvey Blonder:

While upperclassmen have carried the team to an undefeated season so far, freshman and sophomores showed they will be a force in the future.

Jason Marshall finished first in the 400-meter hurdles in a personal best 60.45 seconds, and David Lockhart finished second in the mile (4:38.02) in a tactical race. David was caught from behind in the last 100 meters by fellow Hockomock athlete Dan Romano of Mansfield. 

Marshall added a new personal best in the high jump (5'7") and later teamed with Lockhart, Jordan Taylor and John Paul Noe to place 5th in the 4 x 400-meter relay (3:45). 

Alex Oliver was one place from a medal, finishing in 7th in the 110 meter high hurdles (18.69 seconds).

Others competing were: Smeet Patel and Kirby Impoinvil in the 100-meter; Neythan Cardoso, Zach Dervil and Arman Leal in the 200-meter; Antonio Irons and Evan Schulze in the mile; Matt Williams in the shotput; Edwin Burgos and Antoyne Selmon in the long jump; and Bryan Nguyen and Matt O'Connor in the javelin.
