HANOVER, N.H. — The Andover girls came up big at the Dartmouth Relays with Maggie Mullins and Eve Bishop leading the way. Mullins, The Eagle-Tribune MVP in cross country, sped to a winning time of 11:03.87. That places her seventh on the area’s all-time list. Bishop was second in the 300, teamed with Mullins, Sydney Eberth and Jaclyn Torres to win the sprint medley and ran on the runner-up 4x400 team with Eberth and Torres and Rae Bronenkant. Both Andover squads placed fourth in the team standings. Andover’s Will Ossoff, Ryan Beaumont, Ryan Cooney and Simon Voorhees combined to win the 4x800 in 8:10.14. It was a huge day for Voorhees, who placed in three events. Pat Farnham sped to a second in the 300 (36.52) and teamed with Adam Carrington, Brian Knapp and Voorhees for a second in the sprint medley. Methuen’s Cam Kelley was a double-placer including a second in the 1,000 (2:36.29). Two years ago it was the 300 this year it was the 400. Salem’s Melissa Higgins added to her medal collection with an impressive performance at the Dartmouth Relays. The Blue Devil senior broke the tape in 59.30 to win by over a second. The area’s all-time leader in the 300 hurdles, Higgins is accustomed to running fast in the spring and the winter. She ran a 57.86 400 last winter. Timberlane’s James Dionne tied for third in the high jump and Londonderry’s Clint Perry grabbed a sixth in the 600. The Timberlane team of Kristen Swanson (200), Emily Swanson (200), Taylor Ordway (400), and Hannah Kimball (800) took a fourth in the 1,600-meter sprint medley in 4:26.14.
