Lenox Boys, Girls Excel at Quad Meet
WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. -- Winning is nice, but Lee High junior Amber Shove was not exactly jumping up and down after winning three times at a quad dual meet on Wiliams College's Lee Track on Friday.
"My time are not progressing as much as I want them to," said Shove, who competes for Lenox on the schools' cooperative team. "I'm still trying to get out of the 27s for my 200, and it just keeps going up.
"It's just a little frustrating. I'm still trying my best, and I will get out of the 27s some time soon."
Shove on Friday won the 200 meters in 27.3 seconds, which was nearly three seconds faster than the next-fastest finisher. She also won the 100. She won the 100 in 13.2 and the long jump with a mark of 14 feet, 6-1/4 inches to help power the Lenox to an 83-57 win over Taconic.
Taconic's boys registered an 80-61 win over Lenox in their dual meet, with Kirkland Doherty providing key points in the shot put and the discus.
Doherty won the shot against Lenox and placed second overall with a throw of 35 feet, 6 inches.
Drury's Matt Scanlon won the shot with a mark of 41-10 as the Blue Devils went up against host Mount Greylock in boys and girls duals.
Overall, the Lenox girls once again showed why they are going to be a team to be reckoned with at the regional meet later this month.
Besides Shove, the Millionaires got two wins each from Shannon Meisberger and Maggie Sorrentino.
Meisberger won the 100 hurdles (16.6) and 400 hurdles (1:08.0). Sorrentino won the 800 (2:35.7) and 1,600 (5:56.8).
Mount Greylock's girls exceled in the relays and in the throws.
Jackie VanSlycke won the shot put (27-7) and discus (84-3), and Dagny Albano won the javelin (94-4). On the track, the Mounties won the 4-by-400 and 4-by-100.
The top indvidual winner on the boys side also wore the maroon and gold of Lenox.
Mike Hedges won the high jump (5-8) and long jump (18-0.5) and doubled on the track with wins in the 100 (11.7) and 200 (22.6).
For Drury, Connor Meehan won the triple jump (36-8.5) and placed second in the long jump and 3,200, where he was edged by Lenox's Tucker McNinch (10:15.3).
Mount Greylock's Carter Stripp won the 400 (52.8) and placed second and third in the triple jump and long jump, respectively.
