There was no denying Ryan Oosting or Jackie Gaughan from improving on their nation bests in the two mile at Saturday's New England Championships.
Oosting, a junior from Arlington, ran negative splits for the last half of his race and broke the tape with a winning time and meet record of 8 minutes, 57.79 seconds. Oosting clocked 4:25 for his final mile and won by 10 seconds. Finishing second was Drew Thompson of Fairfield Prep (CT), who secured second with a 9:07.59. Andrew Mah of Newton North (MA) was third in 9:13.15.
Gaughan, a senior from Exeter (NH), was on cruise control from the start. She passed the mile mark at five minutes flat and finished wit a MR o of 10:09.20. Elizabeth Stockman of Rocky Hill (CT) was the runner-up with a time of 10:31.84. Manchester West (NH) junior Julia Robitaille, who captured the mile earlier in the meet, was third in 10:50.18.
Nikki Merrill, a junior from Portsmouth (RI), defended her 600m crown with a nation No. 2 of 1:31.79. Merrill took all the guesswork out of the outcome early and passed her opening 400m in 59 seconds. Freshman Makayla Paige of Tewksbury was second in 1:35.42, the second fastest time for ninth-graders in the country.
As expected, the boys' 600m turned into a down-to-the-wire affair with Malcolm Going of Danbury (CT) taking individual honors in 1:20.38. Cebastian Gentil of East Greenwich, who did most of the pace-setting in the three-lapper, held on for second in 1:20.67. Marcus Manson of Windsor (CT) was third at 1:20.92.
Emily Philippides of Greenwich (CT) captured the girls' 1,000m in a competitive race where the top six finishers were under 2:57. Philippides broke the tape in a season best of 2:51.30. Lucy Jenks, a sophomore from Newton South (MA) finished second (2:51.82), while Tewksbury (MA) senior Rachel Sessa placed third (2:52.97).
Jason Dolan of Westford Academy (MA) claimed the boys' 1K crown with a two-second best of 2:28.47. Dolan held off Connecticut's Ian Bartlett of Fairfield Ludlowe down the final straightaway to secure his triumph, Bartlett also broke 2:29 with a 2:28.72 effort. Tyler Griffin of Saint John's (MA) was third in 2:30.49.
