Ivy League Championships
Cornell sophomore Kelsey Karys (NSHS '09) won the 10000m at the Ivy League Championships (Heps) by nearly 20 seconds over the weekend, running 34:19.99. Karys also finished 6th in the 3000 (9:53.37).
Josh Seeherman poses the question:
"When is the last time a Newton North or Newton South runner won a Heps title? We know the first; Milton Green (NHS '31) won the long jump and high hurdles at the inaugural Heps championship in 1935. M. Carl Shine (NHS '55) won the shotput in 1958-1959 . . . . Mark Young (NSHS '64) won the 400 in 1968-1969, but is that it?"
Princeton senior and former Xaverian runner Mark Amirault continued his incredible spring, winning the 1500m and 5000m. Cornell sophomore Nick Wade (North Attleboro '09) won the 800m in 1:50.15.
Yale senior David Smith (NNHS '07) finished 9th in the shot put with a best throw of 15.28m (50-01.75), and 12th in the discus (38.37m, 125-11).

a ton of massachusetts standouts doing well at heps ...columbia's matt stewart (brookline) and jeff moriarty (westwood) also running well there. Never realized how many top mass kids go to ivys its impressive
Answering my own question, I found one more: Don MacKinnon, NHS '39, Heps champion 1943 in the hurdles for Harvard. At the 1945 state meet, the Boston Post reported that MacKinnon was in attendance spectating, having just been released by Germany in a prison exchange (whoa).
