Hyde’s Indoor Track program competed on Wednesday in a three-way meet against Phillips-Exeter and Governors Academy. Exeter had a team of 90+ athletes and Governors had another 30+. We had eighteen competing athletes total (eleven men and seven women).
Meet scores are attached… although the scores of the women’s meet were not tabulated accurately (corrected below).
On the women’s side, I was generally pleased with the performances given the stiff competition. Scoring for the women were Avery Booth `15 (1st place in the two mile… 14:56.0), Julia Jackson `14 (4th in the 600… 1:47.5), and Jenny Morin `14 (4th place in the 1000… 3:42.2).
On the men’s side, Cody Mitchell `13 won the 1 mile with a personal record of 5:04.5. High jumpers Joel Harris `13 and Ethan Morrow `13 took 1st and 4th respectively (Joel… 5’ 10” and Ethan 5‘ 4”). Rounding out our men’s scoring was Alexi Philippoussis `15 with a tie for 2nd in the pole vault (9’ 0”) and a 3rd place finish in the 1000 (2:53.7).
