Time to head back and recognize some great performances from last Thursday's Bay State meet.
Ranti Sets NN School Record in 1000
Carolyn Ranti made NN history, running a school record 3:00.43 in the 1000. Ranti, who makes the 1000 look like a 600, now has the second-fastest time in the state. Not to be overlooked, Framingham's Camille Murphy ran an outstanding time of 3:06.83 to win her heat. Weymouth freshman Jill Corocoran continues to run impressive times, and she recorded a 3:11.48.
Franca Godenzi ran 12:11.94 to set a PR and win the 2-Mile by 20 seconds. She took the lead early and then ran like a deer. Speaking of PR's, Nora Barnicle had an indoor PR in the mile, running 5:33.74 to take third behind Needham's Emily Lipman and Weymouth's Kristin Mahoney. Adina Hemley-Bronstein was right behind in 5:37.09.
Weymouth junior Carolyn Connolly ran the fastest time of the day in the 600, 1:40.79, more than a second faster than North's Emma Kornetsky. North sophomore Jaya Tribathi had a nice breakthrough, running 1:47.77 to go under 1:50 for the first time.
Dedham's Madison Farrell ran 44.05 in the 300. fastest time of the day. North's Michelle Kaufman moved up from the 55 to clock 44.46. Braintree's Jacky Hull ran 44.35, and then had the best time in the 55 at 7.70.
In the field events, Walpole soph Erica Hawley won both the high jump (4-11) and the long jump (15-2.5). North's Vicki Marone had a nice jump of 14-11 for third best. Actually, it was a very close competition, as the top six -- including Michelle Kaufman at 14-9 -- finished within 5.5 inches.
The 4x400 relay was a barn-burner, with Newton North's Emma Kornetsky running a brilliant anchor leg to overtake Weymouth and bring the Tigers home in 4:14.54.
Looking ahead to next week, the relay could be huge, as Newton North and Weymouth square off for league supremacy.
A Few Notable Boys Results
There WERE other teams competing on Thursday, and a few performances stand out in my mind. First of all, nice runs by Yuri Brown (4:42.27) and Rob Keegan (4:43.96) in the mile. I believe these are both pretty substantial PRs.
Weymouth's Sean Galligan came oh-so-close to qualifying for the Div I State meet in the 1000, running 2:45.43, less than 2/10th of a second from the 2:45.24 standard.
Dedham's Phil Weltman moved up to the 600 and ran 1:28.29. Would he consider a move up for the Div 4 State meet?
In the 2M, Wellesley had two good performances from Billy Littlefield (10:34.63) and freshman Peter Krieg (10:34.88). Krieg's time is remarkable, since I don't believe he has broken 5:00 for the mile yet. Both are within a few seconds of the Div 3 state qualifying standard (10:30.24).
In the shot put, Wellesley's Sam and Alex Stone threw 45-9 and 44-3 feet, respectively. Could Sam (a junior) be the Bay State's next 50-footer?

Jon,
I cant wait for your girls NN-Weymouth preview. This meet could be as exciting as the Nn-Brookline boys meet. Well, maybe not as exciting, but as close!
Happy Birthday Jon!
I decided not to post on facebook because that's just too sketchy for me.
