They were led by Coach Morrissey and trained specifically to reset this event.
Let me backtrack.
In 1999, our FIRST school record set was by Julie Dunn, Melissa Rudzinski and Andrea Walker (EL's FIRST UNOFFICIAL INDOOR TRACK AND FIELD CHAMPION).
Collectively those three STILL hold the school discus record, so they were NOT slouches! In fact the team that finished first that year and beat them boasted TWO All -New England throwers.
We had several teams that were in place to challenge that, but for some reason or another, never got the three people together at the same time in the same place or season for a relay event.
Setting school records are NOT done on paper. Folks need to do the work and be present!
These three did it, and did so in such fashion, that they PLANNED on destroying the old record, then subsequently DID!
They are Olivia Calkins known as HAWAIIAN PUNCH: All Western Mass. second team Indoor this year in the Shot Put.
Hannah Black, who finished 6th overall in the All-State Championships Outdoors while setting the Outdoor Shot Put school record last year. We always called her JACK BLACK...I mean look at what she wears vs. what everyone else does! Always dares to be different.
Madison McMahon is without a doubt the best overall athlete in Western Mass last year. Besides being the second best shot putter in the section behind Hannah, she was the best High Jumper, Long Jumper, and Triple Jumper in the region. Had she pursued hurdles further, it is possible she would have seriously challenged our own Kayla Rodriguez (last year's champ). We always called her by her rightful name: SKYWALKER.
