I was shooting photo stream photo's with my right hand and Video with my left, so sorry if it is off now and then. The real pro's are the people I recognize below, and Milesplitmass is so fortunate to have such passionate fan's, parents, and Coaches.

Based on the seed sheet, Notre Dame Academy was not among the favored squads to win the girls’ title at the MIAA All-State Meet. But the one thing that longtime coach Rick Kates instills in his athletes are the numbers don’t always tell the truth. “I always told them don’t pay attention to the seeds, always pay attention to results,” Kates said. “Results is the only thing that we can capitalize on.” The Cougars lived by those very words at the Reggie Lewis Athletic Center on Saturday as the Hingham school earned its first-ever team title with a narrow 29-28 win over second-place Bishop Feehan. The top 10 teams in the meet were separated by a mere nine points.

Newton North coach Jim Blackburn figured his squad would have some key placements in the relays events and score far more than 30 points at Saturday’s MIAA All-State Indoor Track & Field Championships. He got neither, but his Tigers still walked away with the team plaque. Gabe Montague established a state meet record in the 1,000-meter run and senior classmate Mike Howard tied for second in the high jump to lift Newton North to a moderately-surprising 30.5 to 28.5 victory over runner-up Boston College High.

Notre Dame Academy of Hingham won its first Indoor All State Championships, and the Newton North finished first for the boys. It was a fantastic meet with some record setting performances. Below is a recap of todays action.

Cumberland native clocks PB of 4:55.25.
