12/12/2011

First of all, here's some quick history on the Chariho v Portsmouth battles....
Last Indoor Season:
    Dual Meet: Portsmouth wins, Chariho second
    Southern Division Meet: Chariho wins, Portsmouth second(9 teams)
    Class B Meet: Chariho wins, Portsmouth second(11 teams)
    State Meet: Chariho fourth, Portsmouth eighth(24 teams)
Last Outdoor Season:
    Class B Meet: Chariho first, Portsmouth second(11 teams)
    State Meet: Chariho first, Portsmouth fifth(26 teams)
The battle continued tonight, Chariho won by 4 points, 56 to 52.  It was a solid effort from our guys team.  A few of the highlights were:
    1. Nick Tyler.  Nick long jumped for the first time in practice just about 24 hours before this meet started.  And with that, he won the event with a jump of 19-08.  He also came in 2nd in the hurdles, 3rd in the 600, and ran lead off on the winning 4x200.  Can't think of a better of example of willing to do what ever it takes to help out the team.
    2. Throwers...again!  1-2-3 in the Shot Put and 1-2-3 in the Weight Throw.  You guys are starting the year with a bang!  Briggs is leading both events, and he's only 5 feet off the school record in Weight Throw.  Maloney is starting to find his strength and timing again in the weight with marks out at 47/48.   Serina is making big time improvements in his first couple meets.  We've never had three guys throwing 50 feet in one season....could this be the year?
   1st place finishes:
         -4x200, Jason Burghouwt, Nick Tyler, Tim Mello, Allen Nickerson
        -4x400, Alex Eyster, Cody Anderson, Pete Lowen, Ryan Ake
        -Weight Throw, Alex Briggs
        -Shot Put, Alex Briggs
        -Long Jump, Nick Tyler
    2nd place finishes:
        -High Jump, Peter Lowen
        -Long Jump, Peter Lowen
        -3000, Joe Maiato
        -1500, Austin Grande
        -55 Hurdles, Nick Tyler
        -Weight Throw, Phil Maloney
    3rd place finishes:
        -55 dash, Pete Lown
        -300, Allen Nickerson
        -600, Nick Tyler

Also, I would like to point out our hard working jv guys that had a workout today on the track.  Distance guys did 10x400 meters, Sprints guys did 100-150-200-150-100, and throwers completed 4 sets of a sprint, jump, lift, and twist workout.  The highlight was probabaly the last 400 repeat the distance guys ran in honor of Alex Greer who showed up to practice today with a brace on after dislocating his knee at the jv meet on Saturday.  I have never seen a person bear with so much pain as Alex did on Saturday.  He's a warrior and lets all hope for a speedy recovery.
