Northeast Invite to win the meet and break the meet record! Oh, and they also earned a little trip to New York in March for the National Championship. No big deal.

I was fortunate enough to coach a student-athlete this evening who accomplished a big goal. Since the beginning of the season, she wanted to get under 4:00 in the 1000m. After a bunch of close calls, she crushed it and ran 3:52 tonight......
To the seniors I’ve had the privilege to teach and coach, I am so sorry your final year in high school is far from what you thought it would be. There’s really nothing I can say except that this situation will prime you for whatever life throws at you. Be resilient. Be strong.
Before today, we never had a girl clear opening in pole vault, & we never had a vault relay. Today we had two teams, & while only two girls cleared opening & we didn’t score any points, Sarah Weber & Reese Doyle are inaugural school record holders in the pole vault.

Riley Anderson comes in 5th in the Freshman 800m at New Balance Nationals Outdoor! What a way to end a tremendous rookie year. She has a VERY bright future in this sport.
#TannerPride
What a day for Brooklyn Manna at the New England Championships. She won the long jump on her last jump, and then came back to win the triple jump, besting her own school record with a jump of 39’4”. The girls 4x800 of Bazzarella,Cole,Scholtes & Guiendon also finished 9th overall!
Congratulations to Brooklyn Manna for shattering the school record in the pentathlon with a score of 3361, and along with her, Liana Bazzarella and Caroline Surrette combine to break the school record for the Pentathlon Team with a combined score of 7451 points.
#TannerPride
What a day. Boys & girls teams both win Middlesex League Championship. Boys win back to back titles in outdoor track for first time ever. Girls win third in a row (only have won 4 all time). Girls

Congratulations to
@CoachFletchWMHS
for being named Division 2 coach of the year! An amazing coach who has helped all his athletes for the past 8 years. So proud of you coach, can’t wait to see everything else you accomplish!
Always a tough day for
@WoburnXC
, but all we can do is keep pushing forward, understanding what he meant for this program and all the lives he touched. It was a pleasure to have known you, Coach. It’s an honor to follow in your footsteps.
The tough part about banquets is that I always want to highlight every athlete. No matter your place on the team, the fact you are on it matters. I seem short for some & long for others, but this is true: I love & care about all of my athletes & that will always be my philosophy
I’ve emailed this to my students, but I just want to send a simple message to my athletes: I miss you, a lot. Anyone else who teaches you & coaches you feels the same. This time is really tough for you, but it’s important to know it’s tough for us also. We’re all in this together
With yet another sub-2:20 800m, Nubia Pereira crossed the finish line one last time for Woburn High. To say she has had one of the most impressive careers in the history of
@Tanner_Track
would be an understatement.
@RiverHawkXCTF
: you’re getting a good one.
I want to congratulate next years

captains: Meghan O’Brien, Olivia Poole, and Cora Soderquist for the girls, and Omar Mohuddin, Kevin Nett, and Tyler Sullivan for the boys. The teams are in good hands!

girls to a third place finish in the varsity race at Martha’s Vineyard. Now, the boys turn!
I’ve never required validation as a coach; I pour everything I have into making sure all athletes have a positive experience. But, nothings quite like knowing the actual impact you have made on someone’s life. Coaches and teachers: when times get tough, remember WHY we do this.
Final award of the day, and it’s a big one! Kayla Buback wins Outstanding Athlete of the meet for winning the 600m and anchoring the 2nd place 4x400m in a split of 61.9! What a day for

Three school records today for the girls at the state relays! 4x100: Manna, Santoro, Leydon and Leydon. High Jump: Provo, Mujcin, Guiendon. Shuttle Hurdles: Manna, Mujcin, Richards, Guiendon. Awesome job from both teams today!
Mixed 4x400 of Isles, Bazzarella, Bazzarella, and Klimkiewicz compete at the National Championships! Second straight year we’ve had a mixed relay qualify, but with two completely different teams! That’s depth!
