ter her PR by.01 with a 9.24. “She three-stepped the whole race which has been a huge goal for us,” MacDonald-Ciambelli said. “With some fi ne-tuning she should be able to get that time to 9.1 by D1 states.” Yuong then came back to win the long jump with a jump of 15-7, three inches ahead of the second-place jumper. Finally, she topped off her 30-point night with a 4-10 jump to win the high jump. Gemma Stamatopoulos took home 26 points for the team with two first-place finishes and a third-place fi nish. She continued her undefeated GBL run in the 600-meter (1:43.72), taking fi rst place as GBL champion. This was a whole three seconds faster than the second-place runner. She then came back to take the GBL title in the 2-mile (13:46.81), an event that she does not commonly run but is always willing to step into to gain some team points. She then took 3rd in the high jump after running the 2-mile. “Jumping 4-6 on tired legs is not easy,” MacDonald-Ciambelli said, “and Gemma still manages to handle the multiple events every race.” Revere’s fi nal GBL championship team was the 4x800-meter relay team of Gigi Zierten, Gianna Chiodi, Zizi Kalliavas and Olivia Rupp. This team ran a whole eight seconds faster than its closest competitor. “It’s also important to mention that Gianna and Zizi are brand new to the 800-meter and really stepped up for the team here when we were faced with illness and injury,” MacDonaldCiambelli said. “Zizi, a truly exceptional freshman, ran this 4x800-meter and then came back to run a 4x400-meter with only about six minutes to recover. That 4x400-meter relay quartet took third overall so Zizi came away with two medals. So proud of her.” On top of her stellar anchor leg of the 4x800-meter relay, Rupp took two massive second-place fi nishes for the team in the mile and 1,000-meter. She ran a 5:42.82 mile, which bested her previous PR by another two seconds and qualifi ed her for Division 1 states. She then came back to take second place in the 1,000-meter (3:26.55), running only one second off her lifetime PR. “It’s clear that Olivia is at peak physical fi tness right here and should be able to break that 5:40 mark at states,” her coach said. Francoise Kodjo took second place in the shotput with a massive PR throw of 28-3.5. This tops her previous PR by almost a full foot. Third-place finishes included Zierten in the mile (6:17.05) and Basma Sahibi in the 55-meter hurdles (9.86). Zierten was only one second off her lifetime PR, and Sahibi set a new PR in the 55-meter hurdles by over.5 seconds. Valeria Sepulveda took home two fourth-place fi nishes in the 1,000-meter (3:38.57) and 2-mile (15:02.45). Neyla Vranic took fi fth place in the long jump (13-10). Sixth-place fi nishes included Ashley Cabrera Rodriguez in the 55-meter dash, Danni Hope Randall in the 300-meter and Jocelyn Lazo in the shotput. Also taking third place were THE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 14, 2025 RevereTV | FROM Page 5 Super Bowl Weekend is an excuse for everyone to get together and enjoy good food no matter what teams are playing. Mayor Patrick Keefe and First Lady Jennifer Keefe brought that team spirit to the RevereTV Kitchen studio last week. Even though the game has past, you can still follow along and make three appetizers for a future game day. The Keefes made pulled pork sliders, reuben bites, and a dessert dip inspired by the Girls Scout Caramel DeLite cookies. This new Super Bowl Special of “Cooking with the Keefes” is now posted to all RevereTV outlets. You can watch it daily on the Community Channel over the next few weeks. To add to the cooking programs this month, Victothe two relay teams: 4x200meter (Rania Hamdani, Danni Hope Randall, Dayana Ortega, Jaliyah Manigo) and 4x400meter (Hope Randall, Ortega, Zizi Kalliavas, Cabrera Rodriguez). “The 4x200-meter third place was crucial in putting us over Somerville,” MacDonaldCiambelli said. “Danni Hope Randall, the anchor leg, took the lead over her Somerville competitor right at the finish line with an absolutely incredible lean. Danni then came back to lead off the 4x400-meter relay with minimal rest in between. Dayana Ortega also was added to both the 4x200meter and 4x400-meter teams at the last minute and helped us secure those crucial 12 points.” MacDonald-Ciambelli noted what an absolutely incredible season it’s been. Beyond the winning, it’s been a special season — paying tribute to a loss in the Revere school and track communities. “I wanted to point out that the girls have been wearing pins on their uniforms this year in remembrance of former RHS track coach Peter DiGiulio who passed away in December. Peter was not only my track coach, but so many of the girls knew him through his time in the school system and his time as a track offi cial. The RHS track program owes so much to this man, and we are eager to ensure that his memory lives on.” Page 11 ria Fabbo had another special guest chef for her show, “Fabulous Foods.” Victoria and her friend Chef Yesenia made their own empanadas.
