Tri-County Meet #1
It's early, I know, but it's irresistable to start wondering about the teams that will be a threat at the State level.
St. John's (Shrewsbury) has a lot of potential to be a state caliber team. They have a strong group of middle distance runner, led by Cam Tieuli, and while it will be difficult to score points in the 1M at the state level, it looks like they might have the makings of a very good 4x800 team:
1 1219 Tieuli, Cameron JR Saint John's 4:37.91
2 1210 Perron, Ben SO Saint John's 4:38.78
4 1170 Clark, Brian SR Saint John's 4:48.99
5 1222 Turner, Kevin JR Saint John's 4:50.08
Their best all-around athlete is Andrew Powell, who high-jumped 6-4, long-jumped 20-5, and ran the 55 Hurdles in 8.09.
They also have a sophomore running 10:15 for the 2-Mile, and always seem to be tough in the 4x400.
Brockton has an intriguing mix of athletes, with All-Scholastic XC runner Carlos Montrond a likely point-scorer at the state levl in the 2M, and two impressive long-jumpers:
1 769 Dean, Dregory SR Brockton 21-11.00
2 787 Guerrier, Jimm JR Brockton 20-09.50
Yowza! They also had two runners under 38 seconds for 300, so they might have the makings of a strong 4x200 or 4x400 relay team.
Thursday is the first Bay State League Meet, and Newton North runs against Weymouth. I know little about either team, but based on returning strength, I'd have to think the Newton North boys are a strong favorite (with Putzys, Hamilton, Bao, Chan, Arsenault accounting for a lot of points).
The girls meet should be much closer, but I'm not going to embarrass myself by making any predictions or trying to analyze the teams.
The meet starts at 4:30 at Reggie. Good luck to all the Bay State teams!

NN should easily win on the boys side, but look out for Rob Keegan from Weymouth. He closed the XC season out well and he could close in on 10:00 indoors if he stays healthy!
unfortunately, this meet could be snowed out . . . . break out the shovels !
Fortunately, the meet's indoors.
Unfortunately, the roads to the RLC are not.
