RESULTS

WESTON, MA - After a two year hiatus due to the pandemic, The Minutemen returned to the Weston Twilight Meet to finish off the second half of "Track Day." Like the Kentucky Derby, the Twilight Meet always falls in the late afternoon of the first Saturday in May. It is steeped in tradition, and while no one is singing "My Old Kentucky Home" to get things started, the performances on the track have provided drama and intrigue on the same level as the thoroughbred racing that takes place in the Bluegrass State. However, temps that dipped into the 40s and a steady driving wind zapped the energy from the field. To put it simply, The Minutemen turned in the best they could in otherwise horrible conditions for competition. 

On the Boys side, no star shined brighter than Jayden Bai. The junior Hurdler is rapidly becoming one of the better athletes in the state, and has begun to have success both in the High and Intermediate Hurdles. At Twilight, he began his day by turning in a second place finish in the 400m Hurdles with a new PR of 58.66 seconds. He then came back later in the meet to run an FAT PR of 15.58 seconds over the 110m Hurdles to place fifth. That effort in the High Hurdles was just edged out by his fellow classmate, captain Michael Gerfen who's time of 15.57 was also an FAT personal record.

The Lex Girls were led by senior captain Elena Sabin. Running in her signature event, the 400m Hurdles, Sabin charged out to a strong start and maintain a good pace over 10 hurdles. Her final time of 1:09.81 was a season best and placed fourth overall. Along with her day, junior Jasmine Sun toed the line for only the second time ever in the 2000m Steeplechase. A seldom run event in Massachusetts, it offers athletes the brutal challenge of four 30-inch barriers and one water jump on each of its five grueling laps. Sun turned in a PR of over 10 seconds to place third with a time of 8:33.94.

Other Highlights for the Boys
  • Junior Alexios Kontothanassis earned the bronze medal in the Triple Jump with a best leap of 40'1.50".
  • Jack Ngo led the way for LHS's "Bomb Squad" as he was fourth in the Discus with a best throw of 134'10"; he also placed fourth in the Shot Put with a best toss of 44'7.75".
  • The 400m Dash saw junior Brandon Uda-Thach 50.77) and senior captain (51.31) Josh Lee to place fifth and seventh respectively.
  • Senior captain Ollie DiCerbo turned in a season best time of 4:32.69 to qualify for the Middlesex League Championships in the event.
  • In the Steeplechase, senior Thomas Lane ran a nearly 30-second PR of 7:02.06.
​
Other Highlights for the Girls
  • Senior captain Mari McBride placed third after a number of jump off rounds; her final mark was 5'2".
  • In the Mile it was junior captain Ava Criniti who placed seventh with a time of 5:16.10.
  • Anna Yang leaped to eighth place with a best jump of 16'2" in the Long Jump.
  • LHS's Mixed 4x400m Relay of Lee, Criniti, McBride, and Uda-Thach placed third with a time of 3:46.22.

Up Next
The Minutemen will compete in their final Middlesex League dual meet of the 2021-2022 school year on Tuesday as they travel to Belmont. The meet - against the Marauders - is set to begin at 4pm.
