The plan was to pick up points as the meet went on and to fi nish strong in the relays.” The fi nal three events of the meet are relays, where Revere outscored the Highlanders, 2816. Those points in the relays were crucial to the win. “Over the past few years, we graduated several superstars like JV Cunha, Medy Bellemsieh and Sami El Asri. In many ways, this is a new group,” Fleming said. “They blended really nicely with veterans like Isaiah DeCrosta and Kenan Batic, who came up under Coach Sam Ros. It was exciting to see what they were able to accomplish this season.” Each athlete participates in up to three events only, including relays. Jeremy X, junior captain, scored 14.5 points. He was fourth in the 55-meter dash and second in the 300-meter and anchored the 4x200-meter relay team to a win. “Jeremy’s a complete professional and can absolutely fl y,” Fleming said. “He was less than a half-inch away from a win in the 300. He’s so fun to watch on the track.” Youness Chahid, senior, scored a team-high 24 points and finished second in the 1,000-meter, mile and 2-mile. “Youness was a workhorse in this meet,” Fleming said. “I can’t say enough about his perforGBL CHAMPS: The Revere High School Girls Track Team after its Greater Boston League championship meet victory at the Reggie Lewis Center in Boston.

He singlehandedly kept us in it during the middle part of the meet.” Joey Angiulo, sophomore, was second on the team with 16 points. “Joey had an incredible rookie season for us. He’s an exceptional great athlete, he works hard and always wants to get better,” Fleming said. “And he’s just a sophomore. He’ll be a force next season.” The Revere 4x200-meter team of Oliver Escobar (junior), Kepler Celamy (junior), Anthony Pelatere (freshman) and Jeremy X took fi rst place. This team qualified for the state meet. Pelatere is only a freshman. “As he’s done all season, Oliver rocketed out to the lead and handed to Kepler, who ran his best relay leg of the season,” Fleming said. “Anthony ran a hugely important third leg fighting off other teams to keep the lead. And once he handed it to Jeremy, we knew it was all over.” The 4x800-meter relay team of Kenan Batic (captain), Edwin Alacron, Mo Fares (captain) and Adam Ourazzouk took fi rst place. Revere saved Batic and Fares specifi cally for the 4x800. “Kenan and Edwin got us out to a big lead,” he said. “Mo and Adam held on strong for the win.” On the girls side, Revere came into the meet with a goal to back up its undefeated season with a win. And they did it, scoring 126 points. “It was a tough meet with the score going back and forth with Somerville the whole time until we really pulled away at the end,” Revere coach Racquel MacDonald-Ciambelli said. “We were also battling some sickness and injuries throughout the team so it was really a full team eff ort to crank this out.” Liv Yuong went three for three again to be the GBL Champion in all three of her events (high jump, long jump, 55-meter hurdles). She started out the meet with a huge 0.3-second PR in the 55-meter hurdles, running a 9.25.
