*As the final events of the boys' Decathlon take place, Anthony DeNitto of Newton South is currently in 4th with 5169 points, while Joseph Staudt of North Andover has 4913 points.*

Even though she's not from Mass, we're still rooting for Kate Hall, our New England Champion in the 100m! In the 100m finals, Hall runs 11.37 (+3.0) to secure herself third place! She also jumps 22-5 for a new national record!

What a rare find! Two Mass kids running (almost) side by side at NBON! Rodney Agyare-May of Burncoat (48.81) and Anthony Delasanta of Bishop Feehan (49.03) grab 6th and 11th overall in the EE 400.

Falmouth's Craig Green (second from left) runs 22.02 (-2.7) in the Champ 200m Prelims, as well as 10.86 in the 100m Prelims.

A huge PR for Ariel Keklak, as she wins the unseeded section, but comes in 2nd overall, losing only to Ryen Frazier, the distance machine herself. Keklak's time is 4:49.27! (And get this, she beat her sister's high school PR!) Kaleigh Hughes takes 7th overall in the Champ mile with a PR of 4:54.27.

The Needham DMR team of Kaleigh Hughes (~3:35), Olivia Corkery (~59), Sarah Armstrong (~2:19), and Margie Cullen (~4:58) runs 11:51.09 to win the Champ Girls DMR!

PJ Garmon and Joe Luongo duel it out in their last high school 800m race, finishing in 1:51.40 and 1:51.54, which are PRs for both of them! In this race, Garmon breaks his own school record!

Andrew Ernst, coming off a fantastic 3:47.88 in the 1500 at New Balance Twilight, which equates to a 4:06.04 in the mile, runs 4:13.50 in the Champ Boys Mile on a sweltering day in North Carolina. Zachary Manickas-Hill (4:32.20) and John Pappo (4:38.47) also run in the mile.
