Massachusetts Track & Field fans are in for a spectacular meet tomorrow at Reggie Lewis Center in Boston. The meet is going to offer not only great races, but several All State Meet Records just might fall. Here's a look at some of the potential records that might tumble down.
Girls 55M Dash- Duncan vs Williams ! These two young ladies will be worth the price of admission. They will not only face off in the 55M, but they will also follow it up with a battle in the 300M. It doesn't get any better than this ! I think both 55M & 300M records are in jeopardy.
Girls 1000M Run- One of the State's toughest records might be in jeopardy. The 1000M record was set by Ari Lambie at 2:45.46 in 2003. Tomorrows 1000M field tomorrow is one of the best fields ever assembled. The race will feature Sara Armstrong (Needham), Sarah Edwards (Bellingham), Clare Martin ( Newton South), and Ariel Keklak (Lincoln Sudbury). It wouldn't shock many people if Lambie's record is retired tomorrow.
