EMERIL NAMED

Elisabeth Cooke was named East Longmeadow Female Athlete of the Year by Masslive!

Her Indoor and Outdoor seasons were stellar, as she was also named Outstanding Performer by the Indoor Team.

Outdoors, she broke Danyelle' Thorpe's 2007 school record in the discus throw and also won the Western Mass. title in the same event.

In both seasons, she individually made it to the All-State Championships.

Congratulations to "Emeril" as she takes her skills to Regis College where she also was a recipient of an MSTCA scholarship.

Nicely done!

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!

East Longmeadow's Paige Suse headlines indoor track top performers in first PVIAC meet Friday

INDOOR TRACK TOP PERFORMERS

Hundreds of athletes from around Western Mass. swarmed to Northampton Friday night as the PVIAC high school indoor track season got started at Smith College.

Many of the athletes saw the opening meet as an opportunity to set a benchmark, and hope to improve their times as the season progresses. Some athletes, including those from the Hampshire Regional teams, were competing in their first-ever meet.

But East Longmeadow high jumper Paige Suse wasted no time getting right into peak form. The junior, who won last year's Division III state title in the event, tied a PVIAC record with a jump of five feet, five inches.

STATE CLASS RELAYS

Records were set today at the State Class Relay in a week and season that has been full of records!

The High Jump relay secured first place with an overall height of 14 feet 4 inches, while the 4 x 50 Hurdles team unexpectedly broke the school record with a 32.22 clocking. The Shot Put team led by Pooh Bear finally broke out of the 70 foot category garnering 80 feet 3 inches.

The Ladyspartans finished 7th overall today.

SCHOOL RECORDS

The majority of the school records have been updated. The only thing missing is the SPRINT MEDLEY  in which we ran a 100, 100, 200, 400 up in Easthampton as well as the  SCORING RECORD for a season INDOORS and the career totals.

Next up by September are the significant Girls Cross Country Records.

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!

PAIGING SUSE...

The great Jessie Schnepp has had one of her records fall.  Sushi took over the mantle as the best ever Freshman High Jumper, clearing 4 feet 11 inches, and has thus officially earned the first new nickname of the season. But don't look over your shoulder, Little Kennedy is hot on the trail.

Coach Budd shall post later today exactly how many personal bests were achieved, and what the next week is going to be all about as we head into the "May the Fourth be with you" tournament.

LOOKIE WHAT WE HAVE HERE!

Red Robin, Red Raven, Kazbah and CSI bring home the BLING and break a school record in the process 1:48.06 in the 4 x 200!

LADYSPARTANS 4TH

Led by CSI and Red Raven, the Ladyspartans secured fourth place in the State Class Relays. The 4 x 50 team ran the FASTEST time in school history in 25.18, earning third place honors.

Two school records were set. Distance Medley established a new standard with Peanut Butter, Timberlake, Smurfette, and Dr. Dulittle. Sprint Medley also set a new record with Jelly, Survivor, Champipple, and Axel.

Double medalists also included: Slinky, V-Sizzle, Atom Ant,Red Robin, Axel, and Kazbah.

NEW ENGLANDS ANYONE?

Dr. Rasool stated that things happen because of a higher power. I'll say! The Ladyspartans 4 x 400 relay team found higher power today and was propelled to the New England Championships taking ANOTHER four seconds off the school record!

4:04.85...wasn't the record just 4:16 two weeks ago?

If that was not enough...Boomayay earned a trip to the BIGGER DANCE with a 5th place finish in the Long Jump...as did Killer with her 5th place finish in the High Jump.

See ya Friday!

Just one week after Killer was named Athlete of the Week by the Springfield Republican, Boomayay sets the school record in the 55 hurdles.

The Ladyspartans have now won 40 consecutive dual meets covering nearly 5 seasons. The road ahead gets tougher. We MUST get up for the challenges that await.

"Don't worry about the horse being blind...just LOAD UP THE WAGON!

JENISE EVERETT

Mount Everett climbed the highest peak of Track & Field lore by setting a new WESTERN MASS MEET and SCHOOL RECORD in the Triple Jump! 38 feet 11 1/2 inches!

The 4 x 800 Meter Relay team also surprised by finishing 5th and securing a new school record for the second consecutive year. Led by Mack Daddy, Late Night, Smurfette, and Bootstrap.

Of course the 4 x 400 achieved their destiny by establishing another school record of 4 minutes 4.34 seconds. Lantern, Killer,FloJo, and Boomayay.

1:48.50!

Not much else to say.

WHO DAT? KAZBAH, DAT'S WHO!

43.21 in the 300 breaking Storm's record! Taking the 4 x 200 back to the Promised Land of the All-States also. The largest contingent ever to the Indoor All-States: Boomayay, Mount Everett, Killer, FloJo and KAZBAH! Rock the Kazbah!

BOOMAYAY DAY

Ali set a new school record today in the 55 Highs, breaking Razor's old record. Her time was an astounding 9.24! She also PR'd in the Long jump winning by the narrowist of margins over MOUNT EVERETT (16'2.5" - 16'-2"). Her leg on the 4 x 400 of 63 seconds was also incredible.

KILLER has also firmly established herself as a premier High Jumper, making the final three and clearing 5 ' 0" while barely grazing the bar at 5' 2".

PERSONAL BESTS were also had in the 300:(Lantern, Milwaukee,FloJo, CSI)600:Bootstrap, Smurfette.(1000): BandCamp. (Mile):Chopsticks.Long Jump:(Milwaukee,Secret Squirrel, Kazbah, CSI. (Shot Put): Ford Fairlane, Gravy.
