League Meet Results

League meet results pieced together from local news sources:

Daily News Tribune - Tiger Boys Excel at BSC Championships
MetroWest Daily News - Locals Shine at BSC track meet

Sam Arsenault ran a personal best 40.0 to win the 300-meter hurdles, high-jumped 6-4, and ran on the winning 4x400 relay with teammates Adam Bao, Seb Putzeys and Ivan Kostadinov.

Adam Bao won the triple jump (44-9), Kostadinov won the long jump (21-9), and both ran on the victorious 4x100 relay (43.4) along with Troy Peterson and Hymlaire Lamisere.

Seb Putzeys won the 800 in a personal best 1:55.7, beating Robert Gibson. It is a curious and astounding fact that Gibson, clearly the best distance runner in the state, winner of the 2007 D1 State XC championship and 2008 Indoor All-State 2-Mile, has not won an individual BSC championship race in any season this year.

Lamisere placed second in the 100-meter dash (11.2) and senior Alex MacLean came finished second in the shot put, while classmate Steven Long was third in the discus.

Jarad Forman ran a huge PR in the mile (DyeStat claims 4:34!), to take 4th. Wow. I mean Wow, wow, wow.

For the girls, Michelle Kaufman won the 300 hurdles (46.9) and long jump (16-9). Bonnie Guang won the shot put (33'). Margo Gillis placed second in the 2-mile in 11:28, according to DyeStat reports.

By the way, congratulations to Framingham's winning 4x100 (51.0?) and 4x800 teams (10:14). Did anyone see that coming? Also, great time for Weymouth's 4x400 team (4:04?).

That 800 was Gibson's only BSC individual race this season so that may be one reason he hasn't won one.

Yes, it is the MAIN reason he hasn't won one. Still, a strange thing, no?

Gibson ran the 800 and the 400 at weymouth?

I don't know if I would say Gibson is clearly the best distance runner in the state- Wilson beat him at Andover, and was closing the gap in XC (actually beating him at NTN) before Wilson got injured indoors. I'll certainly say that Gibson is top 2 though.

Gibson has also run the mile about 15 seconds faster than Wilson has and has run a significantly faster 800. Not to take anything away from Wilson, though.

Reminds me of how Amirault did not win a state title until outdoors last year after sweeping them up junior year(XC/indoor mile/2mile out). Interesting stuff.

Didn't Ranti run the 4x4?

NNHS boys 4x8 team was also very good with Ed Drislane, Jared Forman, Ezra Lichtman, and Dan Hamilton with (approximate) splits of 2:08, 2:05, 2:12, and 2:16, missing the qualifying time by a second in 8:41.
