Meet Information
MSTCA Coaches Metro Invitational

Lexington Center Track - Lexington, MA
RESULTS
LEXINGTON, MA - For the second year in a row, Lexington stepped up to host the MSTCA Coaches Metro Invitational. While the 2025 meet will always be remembered for the biblical amount of rain that fell in the days leading up to, and throughout the meet, the 2026 edition was a picture perfect spring day in New England. One that saw fast times, big marks, and elite competition from the over 1200 athletes that came to the Birthplace of American Liberty. For LHS's seniors, the Coaches Invite also signified the final time they would ever compete on their home track as a member of the team. Call it added incentive, call it home field advantage, call it what you want, but on Saturday, The Minutemen were on top of their game.
Ever since he first competed on this very track, as a member of the Clarke Middle School track & field team, Amari Mow has been appointment viewing. On Saturday, he proved to be that, and more as he showcased his status as "the fastest man in Lexington." After delivering the top qualifying time in the prelims of the 100m, he exploded out of the blocks in the finals, and quickly built a lead that no one could surmount. LHS's senior captain won the race in 10.94 seconds, which ranks MA #14 this spring. Never one to be outdone, Mow's fellow classmate and captain Simon Tandeih was also a cut above in the 110m hurdles. After a bit of a slow start, the University of Rhode Island commit surged through the middle hurdles, and pulled away to take gold with a time of 14.44 seconds. That time bested the field by nearly a half-second, a wide margin at that distance, and cemented him as MA #2 in the event. While the seniors were lighting up the straightaway, sophomore Bennett Siino proved that his breakout performance at last week's Freshman/Sophomore meet was no fluke. Siino competed in the seeded section of the 200m, where he came out of the blocks, and quickly made up the stagger on his opponents. Down the homestretch he pulled away from the field, and crossed the line in a blazing fast personal best time of 22.17 seconds. Along with winning gold, Siino now ranks MA #7, and is the top underclassman in the Bay State over 200m. As all this action took place on the track, over on the high jump apron, the Middlesex League was showcasing to the state what the 12 teams in the league have seen all season. 4 of the top 13 jumpers in Massachusetts all compete in the ML12, with The Minutemen being represented well by Cleavon "The Frog Man" Manor Jr. The LHS senior was at the top of his game on Saturday, as he, along with Wakefield's JaMauri Belmer and Stoneham's Weston Bunnell, cleared 6'4". After each missed their first two attempts, the Frog Man looked as if he had wings on his feet on his final attempt at 6'6". Manor Jr cleared the bar with tons of room to spare, which gave him a new PR in the event. In the end, Manor Jr had to settle for silver, as Belmer cleared the height on his last attempt, and won the tiebreaker on jumps. Regardless, there was nothing but excitement from the Lexington crowd as, with his 6'6" clearance, the Frog Man took his team to a height that hadn't been achieved in over a decade.
With the best distance squad in the state, it was to no one's surprise that the Lex girls were dominant in the distance events. Star sophomore Janie Conrad wasted no time running away from the field in the 2 mile. She took the gold by nearly 40 seconds with a season best, and MIAA Division 1 Championship qualifying performance of 10:50.94. Shortly thereafter, junior Callie Glenn toed the line in the mile. While Glenn has struggled to find her form at times this season, on Saturday, she showed all the grit and heart that made her one of the top freshman milers in the country two years ago. After Northampton's Mairead O'Neil took the race through the halfway point in 2:32, Glenn made a strong surge to the lead in the third lap. However, it appeared as if she had given too much too soon, as on the final lap Chelmsford's Mia McCusker surged by her. As the race came screaming down the homestretch, McCusker had the advantage, and all but slammed the door shut on the LHS junior. However, Glenn found just enough room on McCusker's inside shoulder, and charged to the line to win by one-hundredth-of-a-second with a season best time of 5:09.07. Freshman Emma Kosnik made it a clean sweep of the distance events for the Lex girls. The ninth grader hung back off a hot pace through the opening lap of the freshman division of the mile, then took over on the second lap, and proceeded to run away with the race. In the end, Kosnik delivered a big personal best time of 5:27.30 to grab gold. Meanwhile, as the distance squad was dominating the oval, senior captain Ainsley Cuthbertson was all but perfect in the throws. She won the shot put with a season best, and MA #2, throw of 41'3.50". Then finished off her day in the hammer cage where she was just off her lifetime best with a winning throw of 175'4".
