FA’s Emery sets hurdle record

Sometimes, a few days off works miracles for some high school athletes, maybe not so much for others.

“I think having four days without practice due to weather had some people well rested and had others a bit out of the groove but we’ll get back into it,” Fryeburg Academy Indoor Track & Field Coach Trevor Hope said following the Raiders’ recent meet at USM.

The big news was the FA 55m hurdle record is coming down after Zack Emery ran 9.35 seconds, which breaks the record by .02.

“We still have four more meets for him to better that time. It also got him first place in the event and that is the exact time needed to qualify for states. I think that counts as a huge race and a great effort,” Coach Hope said.

Jacob Adams earned third place in the 55-meter dash (6.99) and first in the long jump with a season best jump of 20-7.75.

Austin Dorner (8.15), Sam Johnson (8.59), and Tristin Nylin (8.48) all recorded PRs together in their 55-meter race. Sam also had a huge PR in shot put by 2 feet throwing 27-10.

time of 9.48.

The 400m girls, Enna Carbone and Emily Chaine, both had PRs running only a quarter second different from each other. Emily brought her time down by 1 second (1:10.70) and got third in the senior division and Enna got 4th and brought her time down by nearly 3 seconds (1:10.93) in the junior division!

Both guys and gals ran the 4x200 mostly as practice. Many of them had just run in the 200, which usually, there is a 2-mile race between the 200 and 4x200, so that there is time to rest. However, because this meet was so small there was no 2-mile race so their races were back-to-back!

“They all had great attitudes and put in some good effort. This group has been fantastic to coach and I am proud of what they have done so far,” Hope said.

Meet 4 was a late one! There were 15 teams and over 400 athletes at this meet. The boys got 10th out of 15 teams.

LR’s lone consistent threat was sophomore center Jackson Libby, who had a big night on the glass, earning second shot chances on hustle and leap ability. Libby tossed in 21 points. Forward Jacob Chadbourne netted 7 points, Evan Duprey scored 6, Jacoby Bardsley 5, Brock Gibbons 3 and Matthew Plummer 2.

Emily Chaine tried the 55m for the first time getting fourth place with a time of 8.59. Barbara Artero had a big PR in her 55m with a

“We had a lot of good efforts and a few improvements. I think because of the lack of practices and having a meet only last Tuesday that we didn’t see as many PRs this week and that is ok. I think this week has asked a lot of everyone and as far as mental attitude and willingness our team is the best,” Coach Hope said.

Austin Dorner had a great meet! He had 2 PRs, breaking 30 seconds for the first time in his 200 and getting very close to breaking 8 seconds in the 55.

Emily Chaine had a good PR in her 55 and is now only a tenth of a second away from the state provisional time which is 8.25. She also had a good opening run in her first ever 200m.
