Boys and Girls Winter Track: 2009 Season Roundup


Out of the blocks: BJV vs. Andover on Feb. 4, 2009

Imagine Emma Broderick and Katrina Coogan standing side-by-side. Now put Matt Riley between them. It was extremes like that that this year's indoor track team faced. Three cancelled meets due to weather made for a frustrating start. But the team made up for it with what followed:

  • A strong win over Exeter High School.
  • A new school record  (rewritten 3 times!) by Katrina Coogan in the mile.
  • Hall of Fame performances by Matt Riley in the shot put. Matt threw over 50 ft. multiple times.
  • Karina Tefft in the dash.
  • Katrina Coogan and Emma Broderick in the mile.
  • Tom Leger ran the 3000m in nine minutes.

The icing was certainly the contribution that the team made to the overall Exeter-Andover tally. The boys/girls varsity and the boys JV teams made a clean sweep  by winning all three Andover meets when they had to.

Congratulations and thank you to all seniors.

Thank you to Coaches Simmons, Waterman, Hardej, Ronan, and Newbould.

Captains Elect:
