The Reggie Lewis Center was rocking over the weekend, with the Boston Indoor Games (Colege Division) on Friday, the MSTCA Coaches meet on Saturday, and the MSTCA Elite meet on Sunday.
The elite meet had some memorable performances, perhaps none as electrifying as Corey Thomas clearing 7 feet one half inch in the high jump on his third attempt. Thomas, who also won the 55 hurdles, was named the outstanding male performer of the meet. Charlestown’s Omar Abdi had the outstanding running performance of the meet, winning the 1000 in 2:27.80, a meet record. Seekonk junior Johnny Gregorek won the mile (4:20.57) despite losing a shoe half way through the race. The shot put also saw great competition, as Mansfield's Dan Glavin (57-4) was a little bit better than Falmouth junior Sam Bombaugh (56-10.25).
Emily Jones won the girls mile (not too surprising) in 4:54.87, and was followed closely by Framingham's Camille Murphy (much more surprising!) who broke 5:00 for the first time, running 4.57.88.
In the two mile, Newton North's Margo Gillis (11:14.22) finished second behind Newton South Bridget Dahlberg (11:02.08). Carolyn Ranti placed fourth in the 1000m in a season's best 3:00.41. North's distance drew placed 7th in the 4x800 relay in a season's best time of 9:54.24.
In the 55 hurdles, Michelle Kaufman placed 4th in a personal best time of 8.60, after running 8.75 in the heats. Kaufman also placed 12th in the long jump, leaping 16-2.25. Also competing in the hurdles, was Amy Ren (9:12).
Emily Hutchinson cleared 5-0 in the high jump, placing her 16th.
For the Newton North boys, Tony Chen competed in the hurdles, running 8.16 in the heats but failing to advance to the finals, and Dan Hamilton ran a season's best 9:54.06 to finish 12th in the 2-mile.
