NASHUA — Sanborn freshman Kristina Allard made her first attempt at the heptathlon a memorable one over the weekend.

DURHAM — Sanborn senior Megan Sheehan placed fourth in the discus (125-5) and Pelham senior Mia Herrling took fifth in the high jump (5-5) at the 41st annual New England Championships Saturday at UNH's Reggie Atkins Track.

When asked if she was intimidated by competing in her first Meet of Champions, Sanborn freshman Kristina Allard firmly dismissed the notion.

ANDOVER — Tears began to well up in Delia Barbanti’s eyes as she crossed the finish line, and was mobbed by teammates.

“I had no idea I could ever run a time like that!” said a stunned Barbanti. “My goal was to run close to 25 seconds. But to not only break the school record, but win the Division 1 title, I’m amazed. I don’t even know how to react.”

NEW BEDFORD — Grace Fallon led the way as North Andover piled up points in the field events and finished seventh overall at the Eastern Mass. Division 2 meet at New Bedford.

Freshman Kristina Allard won the 400 and long jump and placed second in the 200 to lead Sanborn to a third-place finish at the Division 2 State Meet. Megan Sheehan broke her own school record to take second in the discus. Teammate Kaylen LaChapelle, another talented frosh, won the triple jump.
Pelham went 1-2 in the high jump with Mia Herrling winning another state crown.

Pentucket stars Jack Clohisy and Saige Tudisco were brilliant at the EMass. D4 Meet. Tudisco set a 9-inch career best with her 19-2.25 winning long jump. That puts her 2.25 inches off the all-time area record by Pinkerton's Bree Robinson in 2008. She also won the high hurdles in 15.31 and ran on the second-place 4x100 team. Kaley Enright and Ellison Seymour also came uip big for the Sachems, who placed third with 60 points. Clohisy had a career day, winning the 400 hurdles in 57.08 to break his own school record and taking the high hurdles in 14.92, breaking a 26-year-old Sachem standard.

Mia Herrling took home gold in the high jump at the Londonderry Invitational. The Pelham senior was the only athlete to clear 5-2. Elsewhere for the Pythons, freshman Gwenyth Dahlinger took second in the 100 meter (12.98) and fifth in the 200 (26.59).
