This announcement will be short and sweet because we are busy gearing up for the Hillside Jamboree on Saturday. Fessenden had a win against Fay 69-18. Many boys got PRs in their events. See our track PR doc for details. Only one week left and the last meet will be at Fenn next Tuesday. The entire team will be going.

Our second to last home meet was against Hillside. Field events were first. Elijah and Daniel came in first and second both getting PR's. In the high jump we swept with Nile and Zeke, with first and second and a tie for third was Aden and Johnny. Zeke, Johnny and Aden got PR's. In Turbo Jav we had no Hillside competition but Dillon, Wuyan, and Jason X came in first, second, and third with Dillon and Wuyan getting PR's. In Shot Put Mo came in first and a new comer to the event Daniel O came in third. Starting the running events was the 1500 in which Nahman and Habin took first and second. The 100 was an exciting turn out with Elijah and Daniel taking first and second. Both had PR's and Elijah broke the school record from 2009...woohoo! In the 400 Chase, Max and Andrew swept with first, second and third with Max and Andrew getting PR's. In the 200 Nile and Justin came in first and second. In the 800 Nahman and Habin came in first and second. Habin had a PR and so did Cole...nice going! Finally the relay team with Daniel, Nile, Chase and Elijah came in first. The JV team that is Gideon, Quincy, Tiger, and Zeke came in third and on their heels was the second JV team Ben, Johnny, Max, and Andrew. The final score was Fessy 79 hillside 11...Go bears!

The sky's suddenly cleared and the temperature crept up for a glorious day to have a meet. We had a wonderful time at Belmont Hill competing against Belmont Hill, BB&N, and Dexter. Field events came first. In shot Mo was our only competitor and competitive he was. He missed first place by only an inch. Brady P from Belmont took first (former Fessy guy) why didn't he run track for Fessy when he was here?!? In high jump Nile and KJ placed first and second. In long jump Elijah and Daniel placed first and second. Then we were onto the running events. Nahman came in third in the 1500m. He chuckled when he finished saying the 8 slices of pizza at lunch probably slowed him down. We swept the 100m with Nate in first (11.6"), Daniel in second (11.7"), and Elijah in third (11.8")...boom, boom, boom! In the 400m Chase came in second with a very competitive run of 56.3" making a PR.  My favorite story of the day was the 200m. Our infamous 200m competitors Nile and KJ were in the first heat seemingly taking first and second respectively. I assumed we had no other 200m competitors and started walking away. Out of the corner of my eye I believe I saw Daniel come out of the blocks. I thought to myself why is Daniel doing the 200? Wouldn't you know it that Daniel took first...another sweep! I asked Daniel "why did you decide to do the 200?" He said "I looked down at the empty block and decided I needed to get in there." In the 400m Andrew F came in 4th with a PR of 2'50.2"...nice going! Finally the last event was 4X100m. Fessy's two teams came in first and second. The both had PR's of 48.9" and "52.8". An amazing take away was that team 1 was only a second shy of breaking the school record. There is always Friday. The final score was Fessy 49, Belmont Hill 24, BB&N 8, and Dexter 0. Go Bears!!!

It was a cold one that is for sure but it's spring in New England. I'm just glad that it wasn't snowing. Hillside hosted Belmont Hill and Fessenden. It is always spectacular meet at Hillside. For the first time in many years Fessenden came out on top over Belmont Hill. In the 100m, Nate and Daniel got first and second. Nate with a PR of 11.62. In the 200m KJ and and Nile got first and second. In the 400m max Yoder took 3rd place. Ben Stilwell took 2nd but accelerated toward to finish and came really close to overtaking the 1st place runner. He had a PR of 2'29". Nahman without question took 1st in the 1600m. Our two relay teams placed 1st and 3rd in the 4X100m. Daniel, Elijah, Chase, and Justin got a PR looking at the splits. JKJ, Wuyan, Leo, and Max Y also got a PR. Daniel and Elijah placed 1st and second in the long jump. All in all it was a great day for track!

What a great start to the season! It was so nice to host Carroll and Belmont Day. Our first race was the 1500 and Nahman pulled off a well deserved second place. Our second event was the 100M. Our varsity squad Daniel O, Nate, and Elijah pulled off a 1st, 2nd, and 3rd. It was one of the closest finishes I have seen with the range of times from 11-12 seconds. In the 400M Chase "Big Wheels" B took the win in under a minute...so impressive. Ryan had a fantastic PR and took 3rd. Fessenden swept the 200M with KJ in 1st, Wuyan in 2nd, and Jake taking 3rd. The 800M has historically been a tough one for Fessy but Ben S '25 pulled off a graceful 2nd place. There is nothing like a 4X200M relay to end the running events. All three teams placed. The V1 Team (Elijah, Chase, Daniel O, and Justin) placed 1st. The V2 Team (KJ, Wuyan, Leo, and Max Y) placed second. Our brand new JV relay team (Gideon, Quincy, Malick, and Zeke) who just started practicing took 3rd place...such a show of dedication. Now on to the field events. In the long jump Elijah took 1st with a PR of 17'5" and Daniel O took second with 15"4". In the high jump KJ took 1st with a PR of 5' and Ben S 25' with 4'10" who just started practicing this week! For our throwing competitions we have the shot put and turbo javelin. Fessenden also swept the turbo jav with Habin in 1st, Wuyan in 2nd, and Jason in 3rd. In shot we got the one two with Mo in 1st and Quincy in 2nd. All of the team members contributed a great deal to this meet from pushing themselves to be the best they could be as well as cheering on their teammates and the other teams. The sportsmanship that the team exhibited was so genuine and appreciated by the other coaches and team. We had a big first win. Go Bears!
