Jared concluded his indoor season by competing at the New Balance Indoor Nationals in New York City.
Jared combined with Ryan Lucken, Ben Porter, and Dan Swain to run a season’s best 1:32.46 in the 4x200m relay, the 5th fastest time in Massachusetts and 11th in New England this year and a milesplit elite-level performance (results). The team placed 10th in the emerging elite division and ranks 104th (out of 10,000 teams) in the US.
Team splits: Ryan 22.66, Ben 23.07, Jared 23.37, Dan 23.29
Ryan’s lead off leg was impressive with the flat start. The equivalent of roughly 22.0 for a running start leg.
Here is the professional New Balance / Armory video of the race:
Here is mom’s version:
In the Freshman 60m dash, Jared improved on his 32nd seed to place 22nd (7.65, 7.099 55m split), but with over 3 weeks since his last 55m race, didn’t get the start he was looking for. The starter was a bit erratic (as commentators mention), but that’s something to adapt to when racing outside of Reggie.
Results
Mom’s version:
Jared also served as alternate for the Newton North Sprint Medley. He ran on the MA #1 team that qualified the North to compete in the national meet. The team raced to an All-American 6th place.
What a great result – they were all FLYING! What years are Ryan, Ben and Dan – is this foursome around for spring and a few more years?
Super cool
UJ
Dan and Ben are baseball players. Dan and Ryan are seniors and Ben is a junior. So Ryan for spring and then Ben for next two winters.
Best chance for a return performance is for Sprint Medley where Ben and Gabe (1:55 800m) are returning. Need Gabe to improve and Ben, Jared or a strong sprinter to take the 400m slot to offset Ryan’s loss. Jared can match or improve on Dan’s 200m time.
Super effort and super results for Jared and his teammates. Great to watch. Congratulations!!!

Great job Jarreb
