As expected, the state championships did a number on the Massachusetts rankings, and several athletes entered the national top ten in the process.  Vanessa Clerveaux, Andre Rolim, and the Chelmsord 4x200m all set state records on Sunday, setting-up what looks to be a tremendous New England Championship competition.

Based on the performance list entering the meet, the Newton North boys were projected to score 24 points.  Even further down the list, Mansfield was projected to only score 14 points.  Both should have finished mid-pack if the performance list had any significant impact on the outcome of the championship.  Thankfully for both teams, seed times mean little.

Every event in a state championship provides excitement and drama, but this year the relays may decide the team title. But don't expect to see the same line-ups from last week. Some additional fresh legs --courtesy of athletes that did not qualify in an individual event-- may help the common man become the hero. We watched it happen on Sunday at the Division 1 Championships, and those same teams remain in the hunt this week.

The MileSplitMass database continues to grow as we track performances from around the state.  Check back each week to view the updated list.

Massachusetts athletes pick-up 12 wins and 2 meet records.
