Catching up on some old business...
I want to congratulate the following athletes who competed at the New England championships last Saturday in Saco, Maine.
Highest finish for any Bay-Stater was Craig Bennett's 3rd place in the 400, running 49.56. His teammate, Mass. State Champion Paul Connor was DQ'd -- I don't know why. Connor returned to help Milton's 4x400 team (Connor, Max Opava, Imar Iyamui, and Bennett) win a medal, as the Wildcats ran 3:25.56 for 5th.
Framingham's Camille Murphy earned a medal in the 1600, running 5:05.12 for 6th. Murphy had a great season and returns next year as one of the top distance runners in the BSC.
Rebecca White got DQ'd in the 3200... again, I have no idea why. How often do you see anyone DQ'd in a 3200?
Brookline's Robert Gibson ran 4:17.64 in a very deep 1600 race to finish 8th. Good luck, Robert as you take a well-earned rest and head off to Texas next year.
Norwood freshman Cory Ryan finished 9th in the 200, as she ran 26.32.
I saved one of the best performances for next to last. The Weymouth girls 4x800 ran their fastest race of the outdoor season to place 4th, only 7 seconds behind New England champions Newton South. The quartet of Erica Donnally (sp?), Jill Corcoran , Carolyn Connolly, and Sam Bennett ran 9:26.04.
Bennett doubled back, along with Felicia Hopkins, Kayla Sullivan, and Jen Bell to place 10th in the 4x400 in 4:00.94.

White was dq'd when an official claimed she stepped on a line. She had a time of 10:56...too bad!
This is why all tracks need rails, if somebody steps on it they trip and fall.
Thanks for recognizing all these terrific athletes in the Bay State League.....enjoy reading your posts.
