Over 250 MA Athletes Scheduled to Compete
Many of Massachusetts’ finest decided to take last weekend off, or at least, modify what they ran in preparation for the New Balance Indoor Nationals. Nationally ranked 2 Milers John Murray (Shrewsbury), Shayne Collins (Mansfield), and David Melly (Newton South) all decided to bypass the event at the New England Championships in an effort to get some much needed rest.
Massachusetts 1000 Meter leaders Josh Lampron (Mansfield) and Andrea Keklak (Lincoln-Sudbury) also decided to step away from their primary events at the New England Championships to focus on the 4x800 Meter Relay. Lampron will make a return to the 1000 Meter Run at the New Balance Indoor Nationals, while Keklak has moved up to the mile after regaining the national lead in the 1000m (2:47.93) at the Massachusetts All-State Meet.
On the other end of the philosophical spectrum are the sprinters. Greg Boursiquot (Stoughton) has run every 55 Meter Hurdles race the only way he knows how……..all-out. He posted a US#4 time in the prelims at the New England Championships and then went on to win the event in 7.49. Rebecca Robinson has run a 55 Meter/ 300 Meter double in just about every meet this season and has broken every conceivable record along the way. She is currently ranked US#5 at 300m (38.90) and we will finally get to see her run the 400m fresh.
Below is a list of all the Massachusetts athletes competing this weekend at the New Balance Indoor National Championships. Best of luck to all; the entire state will be cheering for you!
