Day Middle School defeats Bigelow – Jared wins 3 events

Jared won the long jump (16′), the 100m (12.3), and anchored the 4x100m relay to a win to help Day defeat Bigelow middle school Friday (photos) at the Newton North track. Kayla officiated the girls long jump on one runway while Jared jumped on the other (see photos below). He finishes up his middle school season Friday at the all-city meet.

Jared competes on a real track

Jared had his first track meet on a track rather than a grassy field in the rain at the Newton South track today against Brown and Oak Hill Middle schools. He long jumped a 17′ 5″ personal best for 2nd and ran the 100m in a PR 12.24 (12.48c) for 2nd. His 4x100m team took 2nd as well. According to Athletic.net (which doesn’t have Masssachusetts schools listed), the long jump mark would rank him 225th out of 11,000 middle schoolers listed on the site (top 2%) and (if grade entries are correct) 25th among 7th graders.

Day defeated the 7th-8th grade branch of BC High School today at the Day field 45-41. Jared won the long jump, moving into 1st place by a foot on his last attempt (14’11”). He won the 100 in 12.7. Going into the last event (4x200m relay), Day trailed BC 40-41. Jared’s friend Brandon put the team into the lead (over 4 BC high squads) and Jared achored the relay to victory and the 5-0 point spread for the team win. Jared contributed 15 of Day’s 45 points.

MPS Knights defeat America FC Revolution 3-0 / Newton Bays Draws Weston 0-0

Jared had two soccer games on Sunday. First he played with his MPS team in Devens, MA at 2:30 to a 3-0 win over America FC Revolution while the rest of the Prior clan was down in Franklin for the relays. Jared scored 2 goals, 1 in the opening 2 minutes and then another at 10 minutes.

He returned to Newton, changed shorts and shirt, and headed to Cold Spring park for a 6pm town Bays game against Weston. Weston only could field 9 players (it was a make up), so Newton voluntarily fielded only 10. Several Weston players were Jared’s MPS team mates at one point or another. Newton dominated the game but came up with a 0-0 tie (pictures). Weston now leads the division with a 3-0-1 record while Newton trails in 2nd with a 2-0-2 record.

Jared is currently high scorer on both his teams (3 of 6 MPS, 4 of 10 BAYS).

Jared wins 2 events in Day track team opener

Jared competed in his first middle school track meet against Oak Hill middle school on Friday (photos). He scored 10 of Day’s 37 points winning the 8 lb shot put (31’8″) and 100 (11.9). The line-painted grass track might be a bit short, but he was well ahead of 2nd place 12.5. He also split a 29.5 in the 4x200m relay, which had a baton mishap with a last minute addition to the team. He was bummed not to be able to long jump in the meet after going 15′ in Day’s “uphill” pit in practice (14’7″ won this meet).

Patriots Day Weekend Soccer

Jared had two MPS soccer games this past weekend. They dropped both games, but Jared impressed his new coach with his intensity in the first game (referring to him as mvp) and played him for all of both games. The 1st game was in Hopkinton so it made for a convenient marathon course dry run as well. Jared has a bit shin splints from track distance running now so he’s resting this week.
