Spring Relays: 2009 Ranks Among The Best


Dominating 4xMile Performance

In what head coach Steve McChesney considers the greatest distance team ever in New England, Newton South destroyed the MR and the All-Division record with a time of 20:28.14 in the Division 1 meet. The foursome was comprised of Kelsey Karys, Kathy O'Keefe, Melanie Fineman and Bridget Dahlberg. All four members were sub five-minute milers and all four were just a month and a half removed from winning the event at Nike Indoor Nationals where it set a New England record of 20:25.90. The quartet would also win another national title at New Balance Nationals in the spring where it ran 20:23.20. By the way, the old records at the Relays were 21:07.08 (MR) and 20:57.73 (All-Division).
