Page 16 THE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, JANUARY 24, 2025 GIRLS TRACK | FROM Page 1 The top scorer of each meet was senior captain Liv Yuong with 11 points against Chelsea and 13 points against Lynn English. She took home fi rst place in the 55-meter hurdles (9.98) in each meet. She placed second in each meet in the high jump (4-8) and then fi rst against Lynn English and second against Chelsea in the long jump (15-2.5). Gemma Stamatopoulos was right behind, scoring 10 points in each meet with two fi rstplace fi nishes in the 600-meter (2:00.74) and high jump (410). Olivia Rupp continued her dominance in the mile with a first-place finish (6:11.86) in each meet. “It’s important to note that both Olivia and Gemma were told by me to hold back a little in their races at this meet in order to prepare for the relays that followed the next day,” Revere coach Racquel MacDonald-Ciambelli said. “They raced smart enough to hold onto fi rst place in both their events but saved energy to deliver record-breaking performances the next day.” Revere saw personal records from Jocelyn Lazo in the shotput (26-3), good for second place against Chelsea and fi rst place against Lynn English, and Dayana Ortega in the 55-meter hurdles (11.04), good for third place in each meet. Senior captain Ashley Cabrera Rodriguez got second place in each meet in the 55-meter dash (8.12). She was second in the long jump vs. Lynn English and third against Chelsea (14-2.5). Junior Rania Hamdani got fi rst in each meet in the 300-meter (47.13). Junior Valeria Sepulveda took first in each meet in the 1,000-meter (3:57.51). Senior Captain Daniela Santana Baez took fi rst in each meet in the 2-mile (15:40.34). “As I mentioned this was a meet where most of the girls had to run very strategically, given we had a turnaround time of less than 24 hours until MSTCA D1 State Relays on Friday (Jan. 17),” MacDonaldSprint medley relay team: Rania Hamdani, senior captain Ashley Cabrera Rodriguez, Danni Hope Randall and Gemma Stamatopoulos. Ciambelli said. “The girls are confi dent in their pacing and fi tness levels at this point in the season and knew how to exert just enough to get the wins. This defi nitely paid off considering the performances at the relays.” Revere set five school records at the MSTCA D1 Relays at the Reggie Lewis Center in Boston. The girls competed in only seven relay events and set records in fi ve. Here is a breakdown of the records: • Shotput relay team: Jocelyn Lazo, Senior captain Francoise Kodjo, Aidahh Loauddi: 23.26m. This broke the previous school record by over two meters and was good for 17th place overall. • Long jump relay team: Neyla Vranic, Cabrera Rodriguez and Yuong: 12.87m. The Patriots had never competed in this event before so they set a new school record. This combined jump was good for 16th place overall. • Sprint medley relay (SMR) team: Hamdani, Cabrera Rodriguez, Danni Hope Randall and Stamatopoulos: 4:35.23. This shattered the old record, which was from 2018, by seven seconds. Hamdani ran a 66 second 400-meter split (a PR for her), and Stamatopoulos ran a 2:31 800-meter split (also a PR). • High jump relay team: Mayahh Ndi, Stamatopoulos and Yuong: 4.17m. This was a new event for the Patriots, so they set the school record. This jump was also good for sixth place overall in the whole competition, which scored Revere three points. • Distance medley relay team: Rupp, Stamatopoulos, Hamdani and Gigi Zierten: 14:10.67. This time shattered the old school record set last year by almost one full minute. Hamdani, fresh off the SMR record, came back and split a 69 in the 400-meter. Stamatopoulos, fresh off of an 800 in the SMR and a 4-8 in the high jump, came back to split a 2:34 800. Rupp split a 5:48 Mile, a PR split for her. “Also super important to note that no member of this relay team is a senior so will likely be able to go for this record again next year,” MacDonald-Ciambelli said. “Overall, we saw some stellar performances, with many athletes setting more than one school record,” MacDonald-Ciambelli said. “The girls had a long night but proved that their endurance and fi tness is top tier, and they are ready to show up for championship season. Can’t wait to see what these girls deliver as we head into the end of January and February.” Long jump relay team, from left to right: Neyla Vranic, Senior Captain Ashley Cabrera Rodriguez and Senior Captain Liv Yuong.
