With an exhaustive sprint, Plymouth South freshman Alexa Lasnicki clears a major hurdle: Division 3 title
'I just wanted to finish and get to the end. I just went as fast as I could,' said Lasnicki. Her title came after a sickness compromised her training schedule. She only started to participate in hurdle events this year, and perhaps most impressively, Lasnicki was one of the youngest athletes competing. Advertisement She's a freshman, but, as Plymouth South girls' coach Jeff Tracey said, she's 'not a normal one.' 'That is her every single day. As a freshman, she's qualified for states in the 100, the 200, the 400, the 400 hurdles, triple jump, long jump. She's just a total beast. You can't coach the kind of competitiveness she has,' Tracey said. Get Starting Point A guide through the most important stories of the morning, delivered Monday through Friday.

Sharon (18 points) dominated the 200 meters, with junior Nina Kyei-Aboagye (24.01) and Linda Jenner (25.23) taking the two top spots. After a successful performance at the Hockomock League championship last week, a one-two performance was the goal, said Sharon coach Thomas Giatrakos. Advertisement 'It felt good,' said Kyei-Aboagye. 'I really trusted my coach, trusted my training. It was nice to see it shine through.' In the boys' meet, Sharon's Josy Brown-Wright registered a personal-best (54.94) to win the 400 hurdles. 'I've been putting in a lot of work and just grinding through. I prepared really well for this. I had confidence, the mentality was there today, and I went out and did what I've been trying to do. The training paid off,' he said. It'll be an uphill battle for the Sharon boys' team, which sits in fifth place with 23 points. Milton (41 points) leads the pack while Westborough, which had six of the top eight pole-vaulters in the competition, is second with 40 points. Sharon's Josy Brown-Wright soared en route to winning the 400-meter hurdles. Evan Walsh Westwood's Maeve Gavin won the 800 meters. Evan Walsh Sharon's Nina Kyei-Aboagye coasted to the win in the 200.
