At Friday’s indoor track meet at Leverone Arena at Dartmouth College, TA athletes were on fire! They set new school records in the 600, hurdles, and 4 x 200 relay. And, TA senior Grace Davis set a new state record in the high jump. The details from Coach Charlie Buttrey:

• In her first-ever race in the 600, Madi Powers ’22 set a new school record.
• Kiran Black ’22 broke the oldest record in the book, dating back to 2008, in the 55 hurdles.
• Grace Davis ’20 didn’t merely set a new school record in the high jump, she set a new state record.
• And the boys 4 x 200 relay team (Knute Linehan ’21, Lucas Gilman ’21, Gus Byrne ’22 and Jason Wolstenholme ’20) set a new school record.

Friday’s results were a continuation of the Panthers’ outstanding performances on previous Sunday (also at Leverone Arena). At this meet the Panther Boys set school records in the 600, 1500, and 55-meter dash, with a dramatic near miss in the 3000. Abby Egner also came close to the school record in her first-ever 600. From Coach Buttrey:

• Tad Darrah ’20 set the school record in the 600 and, later in the meet, missed the school record in the 3000 by 5/100’s of a second!
• Tobin Durham ’22 earned a spot on the school record board in the 1500, with a second-best-ever performance.
• In his first-ever 55-meter dash, Riley Burkins ’21 also earned a spot of the school record board, tying for the third-best-ever time in that event.
• Running in her first-ever 600, Abby Egner ’23 missed making the school record board by less than a second.
