WHAT'S COOKE'IN IN EAST LONGMEADOW?

After defeating Minnechaug on Monday, the Ladyspartan Field and Track team took on nine teams at the Spartan Invitational on STAR WARS DAY which also happened to be Senior Night.

While Senior Abby Laughlin outdistanced everyone in the two mile and the 800 meters, Senior Morgan Voight came within one second of the oldest school record in the mile.

Those two performances are worthy of the highlight film, but SENIOR ELISABETH COOKE took out a nine year old record on her own. She nipped(future Hall of Famer) Danyelle' Thorpe's record in the discus! She also followed up with a victory in the shot put before donning the black for the Band's Spring Concert.

We want to thank Maestro K for loaning her out to us, but for also being "instrumental" in Ms. Thorpe's career as well.

Guess we are going to be looking very closely at the band for our next great thrower! It's not in the water, it's in the woodwind section!

SPARTAN INVITATIONAL

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.
