The Golden Warriors sophomore cruised to victory in the high jump with a stunning 5-9 at the 64th New England Track and Field Championships in Burlington, Vt. It was two inches better than second place Ronea Saunders of Lyman Hall (Conn.).
That mark shattered her own school record, and also crushed the old Eagle-Tribune area record of 5-8 by Londonderry's Krista Nelson in 1997.

Back from college, Mike Taylor was 3 for 3 with three RBIs, while John Hennessy added two hits and two runs and Zach Burdeau was 2 for 3 with an RBI single.
