What Are The Events To Watch At States?


Girls' 300m

This event should be an exciting one. The top four competitors in the field are separated by less than a second. Leading the field is East Greenwich's Laura Murphy, who clocked a state best of 41.99 at the URI Invitational. Returning state champion Marybeth Fitzsimmons of Moses Brown and Westerly's Sydney Federico have each clocked 42.19 this season. There's also Westerly's Helena Hall-Thomsen (42.89), who can make things interesting. Westerly will certainly be looking to score some valuable points in this event for the team race on Saturday.
