• The Resurgence Of The Mile: NB Grand Prix, US Open, and The Millrose Games

• MSTCA Division 3 Relays Highlights

  

  The Hopkinton girls 4x50y Shuttle Hurdle team of Kaelynn Maloney, Mirelle Raza, Kaylin Albanese, and Emily Jarvis beat the meet record of 30.78, set by their school in 2009.  They were the only team to run under 30 seconds; winning the event in 29.99.  Hopkinton would return to run under the meet record in the 4x50y relay, but their 24.86 time was not enough to upset Hingham who won the event in record time (24.67).  The second place did help Hopkinton earn the team title by over 20 points.

• Media Release: Bring Back the Mile

  

  The Mile holds a special place in Track & Field and beyond. No running distance, or field event for that matter, has the history, the appeal, the “magic” of the Mile. The first sub-4 minute mile by Great Britain’s Roger Bannister in 1954 is regarded as the greatest individual athletic achievement of the 20th century, and no other event has produced an equivalent of the sub-4 minute mile standard in the sport, in the media and in the public’s mind.

  The Dartmouth Relays runner-up Newton North team, winners of last year's Indoor Track division I and All State Meets and Outdoor Track divisional and All State Meets, faces it's toughest dual meet.
