There is SO much I could write about this relay team, but I shall do my best to keep it short.
This relay team not only won one major event, they won three. They also won different events in different seasons! Not many can say that!
First up is CSI...also known as Erin Rybacki.
CSI has perhaps the quickest foot speed of most anyone I ever coached. She could JUMP, but she also could run. She was so fast, she could turn ou the lights and be in bed before it got dark.
She STILL holds the meet record in the triple jump for the Spartan Invitational. She also helped the Indoor Long jump team earn wins in the State Sectionals as well as the New England meets.
ERIN RYBACKI LED US TO A STATE SECTIONAL TEAM TITLE IN 2012
Next on the docket is BOOMAYAY, who also answers to the name Ali McMahon.
BOOMAYAY overcame a very severe injury at an Invitational in Easthampton, Connecticut while long jumping, and could not continue for two months. She ended up coming back a week before Western Mass...placed at the event, then scored at the All-States beating everyone that came from this region. It was remarkable, but not surprising giving her character.
She still holds many records with us both individually as well as in relays.( Here as well as in college!)
ALEXANDRIA McMAHON WAS THE BEST ATHLETE INDOORS HER SENIOR YEAR
Last but not least is the leader of this group, MOUNT EVERETT, who we sometimes called Jenise Everett. She was such a big thing on campus, we named her after a school! JENISE won Western Mass. individually in the Long Jump outdoors, but when our triple jumper went down with an injury at the Western Mass basketball tournament, we needed a new triple jumper: enter MOUNT EVERETT. All she did was win Western Mass in the triple and break the existing record that was held by our own Devonia Long.
She led us to victory in the OUTDOOR LONG JUMP TITLE with record perfromances in the OUTDOOR TRIPLE JUMP and then the INDOOR LONG JUMP in record fashion: State Sectional and New England titles..
