Clipper Relays Results

The season got rolling yesterday with the Clipper Relays in Newburyport. The rain that was forecast stayed off the coast and while it was windy, the temperature of 57 degrees (it never budged the entire time we were there) was good for racing. There were some noteworthy improvements by many of the athletes who have competed on this course in the past. The 2 mile course, shorter than the course in meets to be contested later this season, is a good test without being overwhelming. The relay format is always popular if a bit frenetic in the exchange zone.

Split times for WHS athletes can be seen here. Note that I took splits from a spot that marked the end of the loop, and the third runner of each three person team ran about 90 meters beyond this point to the finish line. Overall results (which include the third runner's slightly longer leg) can be found here.

A list of each WHS athlete's fastest split on this course going back to 2014 can be seen here. Five of the top ten split times on the boys side and three of the top ten girls splits happened today.
