MSTCA Division 1 Relays
January 18, 2020

Reggie Lewis Center - Boston, MA

​RESULTS

BOSTON, MA - On Saturday afternoon The Minutemen were back at Reggie Lewis for the annual relay meet. In a test of the two squads' respective depths, LHS came out of the meet with a pair of first place finishes, two more school records, and on the girls side a second place trophy. The boys showed well in their own right by finishing fourth out of 21 teams.

For the girls the highlight of the meet came from the Long Jump Relay trio of seniors Keena Gao, Rachel Caldwell-Glixon, and Anna Yang. The three jumpers combined to leap 48'2.50" to smash a LHS record which had stood since 2001 by over a foot. In addition to the record breaking performance, the trio's distance placed them second overall. Not to be outdone, the girls 4x200m Relay of Gao, freshman Emma Hu, sophomore Mari McBride, and junior Aleia Gisolfi-McCready ran 1:48.18 to blow away the field by three seconds en route to the girls lone event victory.

On the boys side, it was the Shot Put Relay of seniors Michael Gupta, Yianni Zavaliagkos, and Jarret Dlugy who were smashing records. The LHS "Bomb Squad" combined to throw 127'6.75", breaking their own school record set two winters ago, and placing sixth in Saturday's competition. In the Distance Medley Relay the team of sophomore Evan Eberle teamed up with seniors Jack Stevens, Selvin Backert and Micah Benson to run a tremendous race, which included a 4:29 1600m leg by Benson to take the victory in a MA #3 time of 10:41.78.


Other Highlights for the Girls
  • The 4x800m Relay of senior captains Pauline Steines and Lily Sheth combined with sophomore Julia Lennon-Newell and freshman Ava Criniti to grab the bronze medal with a Division 1 qualifying time of 9:45.88.
  • Steines, Sheth, and Criniti doubled back in the 1200, 400, and 800 legs respectively of the DMR along with Danna Ofek to finish fourth in 13:04.15.
  • Along with her impressive Mid-D double, Steines managed to clear 4'2" in the High Jump which allowed McBride (4'10") and RCG (5'0") to carry the team to a fifth place finish in the High Jump Relay.
  • Not to be outdone by their male counter parts, the girls "Bomb Squad" of Chrisondra Awomah, Raquel Batista-Vieira, and Tiffany Liu placed second with a combined distance of 88'8.25".
  • Despite taking a fall the Shuttle Hurdles team of RCG, Carolyn Lane, Cora Kemp, and Annie Earys still managed a sixth place medal by running 33.50.
  • The 4x400m Relay of Elana Sabin, Catherine Movsessian, Sheth, and Gisolfi-McCready placed sixth in 4:16.33.

Other Highlights for the Boys
  • In the Sprint Medley Relay the team of seniors Brian Her, Colin Breen, Josh Backert, and Andrew McGovern placed second in 3:38.44.
  • LHS's B-Team 4x800m Relay of Traver Smith III, Jack Stevens, Stephen Joseph, and Max DiCerbo ran a great time of 8:18.82 to place fourth overall.
  • In the 4x400m Relay the team of Breen, McGovern, and the Backert brothers placed sixth in 3:31.11.

Up Next
The Minutemen will be back home on Monday for JV Meet #3 at noon. That will be followed by the final Middlesex League dual meet of the season on Friday night at Reggie Lewis against the Winchester Sachems. With both teams being undefeated, a win will seal the first pair of Liberty Division Titles for LHS since 2016.
