At Saturday's New England Outdoor Track and Field Championships, Mansfield High star Terry Young again emerged victorious, the Hornet girls shined, North Attleboro High's Marcus Vaughn placed in two events, and Foxboro High's Holly Heinricher pulled out a runner-up finish. Just another day at the office for the talented local tracksters. Young repeated as New England champion in the 330 hurdles, breaking his own school record with a time of 38.47. His old standard was 38.68, set in last week's All-State meet win. This also came after he set a new school record in the triple jump. On his very first jump, Young beat Kerry Taylor's record by an inch with a leap of 44-9, and took a pass on the next two so he could concentrate on the low hurdles. He wound up finishing seventh place in the triple. `` He had a great day,'' said Mansfield coach Julie Collins. `` That (330) hurdles was fast race, there were a number of kids (finishing) under 40 seconds. The Hornet girls' performance was highlighted by a surprise 2-3 finish in the shot put. Tricia Harrison, who staked her claim as the best shot putter in the area all spring long, threw a personal-best toss of 41-0 -- but it was third behind sophomore teammate Hillary Crook, who snatched second place with a heave of 41-11/4. `` That was unbelievable,'' Mansfield coach Carolina DiBiase said of the 2-3 finish. `` To have two of the top three shot putters in New England is quite an accomplishment.'' Then, in the two mile, Kailin Collins knocked off some 10 seconds off her previous-best time, clocking a 11:00.3 to finish sixth. Katie Brague, who has been battling a cold all week long, settled for a 15th-place finish (5:20.15). Overall, `` it was a wonderful day for Mansfield,'' said DiBiase. `` It is a long season, so it's nice to go out on a positive note.'' As for the Mansfield boys, the 4x400 team of Mike Lawlor, Steve Stanley, Brett McDermott and Brian Dundon -- seeded seventh heading into the meet -- cruised to a third-place time of 3:24.5. -- After winning at the Hockomock League, Class B and All-State meets, Vaughn of NORTH ATTLEBORO grabbed third place on Saturday with a best-ever, fully-automated time of 14.18 (hand-held 13.86). `` He was happy,'' North coach Jason Feid said of Vaughn, the Syracuse-bound senior who was in second place heading into the second-to-last hurdle, but hit the last two en route to the third-place finish. Then, Vaughn captured third place in the long jump, recording a jump of 20-11. With the windy weather conditions, the best jump of the day was only 21-5. Vaughn and teammate Ryan Van De Giesen (javelin) are bound for the nationals in North Carolina next week. -- FOXBORO'S Heinricher recorded her second and third fastest times ever at Saturday's meet. After speeding to a time of 25.02 in the 200 to place second at last week's All-States -- the first time she lost a 200 race -- Heinricher was the New England runnerup with a clocking of 25.35. This came nearly four and a half hours after the preliminaries, where she ran 25.16. `` She really comes on strong in the end,'' Foxboro coach Latif Thomas said of Heinricher, whom her coach likened to more of a 400 runner than a 100 runner. `` She's not as fast in the first part, but she explodes at the end. `` We were very pleased with her performance.'' -- Megan Brousseau of ATTLEBORO had one of her best races of the season. While her third-place time of 5:09 wasn't where she wanted to be -- especially coming off a 5:04.23 runner-up finish at last week's All-States -- Brousseau battled hard. She finished the first quarter in 73 seconds and was moving right along with a 2:29 at the halfway mark. `` And then her legs were done,'' AHS coach Peter Lacasse said of the Wheaton College-bound Brousseau. `` She peaked last week. But, looking at the race today, she had a better race than last week. She battled out of a tough pack in the beginning (of the race) to one of the top two slates after the quarter. `` She just didn't have the legs in the end.'' Brousseau still was just six seconds off the victory. Meanwhile, Brousseau's teammate, Dian Weaver, managed a fifth-place nod in the triple jump with a leap of 36-7, which is a ways off her personal-best of 37-10. `` No one was jumping really well today,'' said Lacasse, acknowledging the stiff wind facing the jumpers. `` And it's been a long season for (the junior Weaver). She's had a lot of jumps -- it's been a lot of meets for her, and she's young, so her legs were tired.'' In five meets this season, Weaver jumped over 37 feet. -- SEEKONK'S Dan Paradis, fresh off a seventh-place finish at the All-State meet where he ran a personal-best time of 40.85, continued to chip away on Saturday. Paradis sped to a best-ever time of 40.38, good enough for 14th place.
