CHS senior
long distance runner Alyse Rocco has picked up where she left
off during the winter indoor track season — winning
championships.
Rocco won
the State Coaches Invitational Meet in the two mile on Saturday
with a time of 11:16.54. Her nearest competitor finished at
11:19.59.
CHS girls’
coach Chris Elgar also reported that the 4x800 relay team of
Rocco, Sara Teague, Sarah Jankowski and Christie Keough
qualified for the states at the Invitational with a time of
10:31.
Two other
girls — Radiya Buchanan, who ran a superb 400-meter dash, and
high jumper Julie Joseph — qualified during a recent meet
against Franklin. The State Coaches Invitational Meet for the
boys was held Saturday at Durfee High in Fall River. CHS boys’
head coach Nick Devers said the weather was definitely a factor
for the boys as they had a hard time getting properly warmed up
in the 100-meter dash and the high jump. Although Bobby Saraf
and Matt Wing each had some great attempts, it was not a good
jumping day for the Bulldogs.
The 4x800
relay team just missed qualifying for the state meet by posting
a season best of 8:53.82, and Christian Bates continues to
improve in the 300 hurdles.
