HISTORY IN WESTFIELD

Could it be that there is magic in the throwback jerseys? Did we finally exorcise the demons of 1991?

A word to the wise: Let's not get too happy yet. We now need to REPRESENT at the State High School Championships.

Certainly we made school history as the FIRST EVER MIAA Western Mass Meet Champions on the East Longmeadow Girls Track & Field side. This accomplishment was done as a team.T-E-A-M. We did what we had to do TOGETHER!

35 years to the day after Coach Duck's 1977 Championship at Tech ( look it up).

HEY, WE DID IT AGAIN!

Back To Back Divisional Champions


Total team effort leads to the Championship. New School record set in the Javelin by the Senator, and new Freshman records set in the High Jump by Sushi and 400 Meter dash by the President. An amazing finish in the 4 x 400 meters and as you can see...an EXHAUSTED Coach.

POOH

Watch out Mr. Miyagi, Pooh Bear has finally caught up with you!

35-11. Enough said!

The Ladyspartans clinched their first outright title Outdoors since 2005 with a victory over the Lady Lions of Ludlow! This was not such an easy match as people had to step up in other areas to assure the win. Nail Polish had a Western Mass qualifying performance in the Discus, and the One Man Band had her personal best in he 800.

Friday is coming quick and the Western Mass Divisional Championships is next on tap.

Option One baby!

Wow! Looks as though there were more than 36 personal season bests at the Spartan Invitational. We also had a SUPER Full Moon.The moon is about 4,000 miles closer than it normally is. This event won't happen again until 2029 ( which would be the year of this meet's 17th anniversary - but WHO is looking ahead?)

The athlete of the meet was clearly Erin (CSI-Smuggles) Rybacki. Winner of the 100 in 12.5, winner of the Triple Jump in 35-7.5, Anchor of the winning 4 x 100 relay and runner up with a personal best ( in ALL Events) of the Long Jump 16-3.

Thank you to all invovled for helping out including: OFFICIALS, FOOTBALL BOOSTERS, TEAMS, COACHES, PARENTS,JERRY THE CUSTODIAN, FANS, but especially OUR TEAMS  moving the meet along quickly. The feedback I received was nothing but positive. Many visiting athletes, parents and coaches stated that this was the best meet they had ever been to.
