Winter Festival
Kayla opened her 2010-2011 indoor track season at the Winter Festival at the Reggie Lewis Center Saturday (results, article) attended by 41 Massachusetts schools. She long jumped to a 15’11″ indoor PR (and 3rd best all-time) for 4th place out of 41 competitors. She came in seeded 16th. This jump qualifies her for the states and ranks her 11th in the state at the moment (rankings) and 3rd in the league. Her 2nd best jump in the meet was 15’5″.
She also ran a PR 10.08 in 55m hurdles to win her preliminary heat by a half second but just missed out of the semifinals. The dominant Newton hurdle crew (including two newcomers) sent 4 of 16 to the semis and 3 of 8 to the finals. See full set of photos on smugmug.
The Newton Tab newspaper put photos I submitted on their home page.
