TRACK: Gregorek mastering mile




BOSTON - Johnny Gregorek led a great overall performance by the Seekonk boys' track team at the Winter Festival at the Reggie Lewis Center, taking first place in the mile with a time of 4:25.66.

The time was one of the best in the state this year and a solid step towards Gregorek's goal of breaking 4:20 this season.

Sophomore Cody Archambault took 11th in the same race with a time of 4:44.16, a 10-second personal-best, while classmate Nathan Larrimer was 31st with a time of 4:56.22, also a personal best.

Casey O'Brien was the other Lancer standout on the day, winning the 300 meters with a time of 36.71, breaking the previous school record of 37 seconds that had lasted 10 years.

O'Brien's time was the second fastest in the state this season. "He ran a great race," Seekonk coach Eli Mello said. "He's been running strong all season. His goal was to get the school record and he did."

Sam Spencer took 9th in the 600 meters with a time of 1:28.53, while Josh Rainho took 26th in the 1000 meters with a time of 2:55.22, qualifying for states.

Kristy Chauvin highlighted the day for the Seekonk girls as she had a personal best distance of 34-7 for second place in the shot put. The Warriors also went 5-6 in the high jump as Janelle Clarkson cleared 5-2 and LeeAnne Poirier 5-0. Megan DeBarros also had a personal best 1:51.3 in the 600.

Also at the Winter Festival, it was a once-in-a-lifetime day for the NORTON track teams, as the Lancers set seven school records, had 13 athletes qualify for the state-meet, and set a total of 23 new personal bests. Emerson Almeida broke the school record in the 600 meters with a time of 1:27.15, good for fifth place. Gil O'Neil set a new mark in the 1,000 with a time of 2:41.68, good for fourth, and rounding out the new boys' records was Kim Johansmeyer, who, as only a sophomore, set a new record in the long jump with a jump of 19-3/4, good for 11th place.

The girls set four records. The Lancer 4x400 meter relay team consisting of Caroline Allen, Paige Almeida, Laura Johansmeyer and Kim Schubert set the new school record with a time of 4:24.22, good for sixth place. Almeida also set a new record in the mile with a time of 5:46.04, placing her 14th out of 129 runners. Alison Lynch set a new record in the 55 hurdles with a time of 10.22 while Courtney Williams broke the school record in the 55-meter dash, finishing fourth out of 133 runners with a time of 7.62.

"This is unreal," Norton coach Kent Taylor said. "I've never seen anything like this, ever."

The Lancers travel to Hopkinton on Wednesday.

**The MANSFIELD boys' track team improved to 4-0 in the Hockomock League with wins over North Attleboro and Sharon. Ryan Petrella ran an excellent race in the 600 meters while Dan Glavin had one of the best throws ever at Franklin Field House in the shot put. Paul Davis qualified for the Divisional meet with a jump of 5-10 in the high jump. The Mansfield girls' team also went 2-0 on the day, defeating North and Sharon, behind record-setting runs by Meghan Ferreira and Emily Broyles.

Ferreira tied her school record in the hurdles with a time of 7.1 seconds, while Broyles also tied her own school record in the 300 (43.1). Kelly McCabe, in winning the shot put, shaved nearly three inches off of her previous personal best, throwing 39 feet.

**Both FOXBORO teams fell to 0-4 on the year with losses to Oliver Ames and Canton. The Warriors' lack of depth hurt the boys, as Foxboro won seven events against Canton but had just one second and no thirds. Brittany Grueter came close to qualifying for states in the two mile, a race she doesn't normally run, while Chris Wade had a personal best in the shot put. **The KING PHILIP boys' team swept Franklin and Stoughton to improve to 2-2 on the season. Brent Chapski set a new school record in the trials of the dash with a time of 5.3 and Josh Raia come through with big points in the 600. On the girls' side Katie Kelleher won the shot put.

**The BISHOP FEEHAN track teams traveled to Dartmouth College in New Hampshire to take part in the 40th Annual Dartmouth Relays and performed well. The boys' distance medley relay placed seventh with their best time of the season, 11:05.42. Bobby McShane took first in the unseeded mile with a time of 4:36.71. For the girls Annisa Arsenault took first in the unseeded two-mile with a time of 11:46.75 while Erin Murphy was right behind her in second. Jen Thomas took third place in the 1000 meter with a personal best of 3:05.88, a time that would have been a meet record if it weren't for the two runners ahead of her that also broke the record.
