Jared took 2nd in 100m (11.42), 6th in long jump (20’1.5″), and anchored the North 4x100m team to a come from behind 2nd place (44.47) to contribute 13 points to Newton’s victory at the Bay State Conference Championships (results, photos).
Jared was narrowly nipped in the 100m by Braintree senior Chris Carson by 0.01. Meet results were actually delayed overnight so they could read the photo closely to break the near tie. He fought back in the 4x100m anchoring from behind against Carson, running his fastest recorded split ever (10.24) to bring Newton from 4th to 2nd at the line, this time with Jared taking it by 0.01.
Jared’s “Hip Hop Beat HD” is the soundtrack of the meet’s highlight film. Kayla was back to cheer on her brother (and then some at 3:31):
Jared’s next meet will be Easter D1 Championships in Andover on Sunday June 1st starting around 10:30. Plan is for him to run 4×1, 4×4, and long jump, although he’s qualified in 100m and 200m as well so things could change. It will take strong performances in each event to advance to state open.
Jared is ranked 13th in state in 100m (out of 1493), 20th of 1409 in the 200m, and 18th of 881 in the long jump. Among underclassmen, he is 2nd, 4th, and 1st respectively in the state in those events.
