Every event in a state championship provides excitement and drama, but this year the relays may decide the team title. But don't expect to see the same line-ups from last week. Some additional fresh legs --courtesy of athletes that did not qualify in an individual event-- may help the common man become the hero.
The All-State Championships are here the MIAA released the performance lists earlier this week. If you want to see how two athletes match-up head-to-head check out our compare athletes feature. You can also create a virtual meet and see how the teams stack-up based on their season best marks.
Thanks again to Chuck Martin for spending a painstaking amount of time in the public library hunting down every Massachusetts All-State Indoor Track and Field Championship team since the first competition was conducted in 1985.
James Sullivan's winning time of 4:15.33 last Sunday at the MIAA Division 1 Track & Field Championships at the Reggie Lewis Center was 20 seconds faster than his fastest indoor mile last season, and the sixth-fastest high school indoor mile in the country this season. (via www.lowellsun.com)
I am inspired to write this column by my son Jake Powell and Peter Hale, his close friend since the day the two met in first grade. Their story belongs to children in fields and gyms all over our country. They were the kids who played right field and batted ninth. They were the ones who often struck out, sometimes with the game on the line.
