Records, PRs Fall at Girls MSTCA Meet

Three meet records fell at Saturday's MSTCA Girls Invitational meet at the RLTAC, and two performances were US#1 for the 2011 indoor season.

Arlington junior Rebecca Robinson improved her own meet record in the 300, running 39.27. Robinson also won the 55 dash and was named the meet's outstanding overall performer.

Lincoln-Sudbury senior Andrea Keklak demolished the field in the 600, running a meet record and US#1 time of 1:32.95.

Newton North sophomore Carla Forbes set a personal best, meet record, and US#3 mark in the long jump, hitting 19-1 to win the event by a foot and a half. Forbes also finished second to Robinson in the dash (7.36) and competed on North's second-place 4x200 team (1:47.37).

North's Kayla Wong had a great day, finishing 3rd in the hurdles (8.47) and 6th in the long jump (17-1.5). Amy Ren was busy, high jumping 5-0, long jumping 15-11.5, and dipping under 9.00 in the hurdles (8.97, for 9th). Emily Hutchinson and Lucia Grigoli both cleared 5-2 in the high jump. Margo Gillis ran a season's best time of 1:38.57 to finish 10th in the 600., and Meghan Bellerose ran a PR 1:41.21 in the same event. Maggie and Evie Heffernan ran 5:33 and 5:35 in the mile, respectively, and Devika Banerjee ran a PR 12:15.9 in the 2M.

North's 4x800 relay team (9:53.05) ran a season's best time to finish a close 6th, less than 2.5 seconds behind the winning Burlington team.
