Rhode Island Classic 2013

Feinstein didn’t attend Sandy Hook as a youth, but he has familiarity with the school. His mom, Laura, is a teacher there. Fortunately, she was one of the lucky ones that survived the massacre.

  There was no rejoicing at the finish line and, shortly after capturing the 800-meter run in a fast time of 1 minute, 56.94 seconds, Chariho Regional (R.I.) senior Bryce Kelley wore the same blank expression before accepting his first-place medal.For Kelley, his performance at the fourth annual Rhode Island Classic on Saturday, which ranks No. 4 nationally, was just another step forward to bigger and better things this winter.“I’m doing the mile at the Hispanic Games (in N.Y.) next weekend so I really just wanted to get an 800 in, get some quick turnover in,” he said. “I didn’t really care about the time. I just wanted to get this experience.”

  Despite the snowstorm that hit the northeast region, an abundance of schools from Rhode Island and its surrounding states ignored the elements and made the trek to Providence for the 4th annual R.I. Classic on Saturday. Here are some of the highlights that entertained the dedicated fans that packed the stands inside the Providence Career and Technical Academy field house:
