BELMONT

The Watertown High girls outdoor track team had little trouble with their rivals from Belmont on Tuesday.

"This was a very good performance," girls head coach David Mastro said. "The girls were hitting on all strides."

The visiting Raiders totaled 40 points in the running events and 42 in the field events on route to their second win of the season. They totaled a season-high ten individual wins while sweeping two events including the high jump and the javelin.

Coming in first place were Katie Carlson in the 400 meter hurdles (personal best time of 72 seconds), Waleska Alves in the two mile (13:16), Rachel Thomas in both the 100 meter dash (12.7), and the high jump (5 feet), Meaghan Kelly in both the 100 meter hurdles (16.7) and the triple jump (personal best leap of 33-3), Lauren Basile in the long jump (15-1/2), Julia Basile in both the shot-put (28-9 1/2) and the discus (75-9), and Hannah Helfner in the javelin (73-6).

The 4 x 1 relay foursome of Kelly, Thomas, Lauren Basile, and Christelle Madou also gave the team an additional five points, winning that race in 52.5.

Those earning second place points included Calista Diehl in the two mile (13:51), Jamie Russo in the mile (personal best time of 5:56), Michelle Poirier in the 800 meters (2:40.34), Talia Flores in both the high jump (4-8) and the 400 meters (65), Shannon McNally in the shot-put (28-8 1/2), and Valerie Walker in the javelin (72) while coming in third were Analise DeBaie in the mile (6:07), Krysta Brugger in the 200 meters (35 seconds), Carlson in the high jump (4-6), Roop Kaur in the discus (68-4), and Bianca Jones in the javelin (66- 8).

"The girls were very excited about this win," Mastro said. "They pushed themselves and worked really well. I thought they showed the type of potential they have."

Watertown, 2-6, will complete their May 4 suspended meet with Wakefield on Thursday at Victory Field. The Raiders were leading 53-46 with five events left.
