Track Roundup: LaRosa, Newburyport girls squeak past rival … – The Daily News of Newburyport
The Newburyport girls indoor track team ended up needing every single point it got Tuesday afternoon.
Facing a big league rival in Pentucket, the Clippers got two event wins from senior captain Hailey LaRosa to squeak out a 52-48 victory over the Panthers. Fresh off a fall season in which she was named our Daily News Cross Country MVP, LaRosa led the Clippers to victory on Tuesday with wins in both the Mile (5:30.92) and the 2-Mile (11:49.24).
Because of her efforts, Newburypot (3-0) didn’t have to sweat out the relays.
And that’s a good thing, as Pentucket’s team of Sydney Trout, Lia Goodwin, Reese Gallant and Sage Smith won the 4×200 with a time of 1:48.72. The Panthers (0-2), despite the setback, still had plenty of highlights. Wynter Smith won the hurdles in a personal-best time of 9.20, and Sage Smith had an outstanding day with winning both the 55-dash (7.56) and the long jump (16-3.50) as well as running a relay.
Other Pentucket winners were Delaney Meagher in the high jump (5-2) and Riley Bucco in the shot put (29-2). Kaylie Dalgar finished second in the 2-Mile (11:51.26), but shaved an impressive 26 seconds off her previous personal-best time.
For Newburyport, LaRosa’s day punctuated the team’s dominate performance in the middle-to-long distance events. It started when sophomore All-Star Devin Stroope won the 300 (42.88), followed by the Clippers going 1-2-3 in the 600 with Annabel Murray (1:47.26), Annie Shay (1:49.57) and Reese Bromby (1:53.64). It ended in the 1,000, when the team again went 1-2-3 with Violet Moore winning in 3:27.87, followed by Ciara Geraghty (3:28.89) in second and Olivia Gustafson (3:31.97) in third.
Newburyport’s final victory of the day came by the 4×400 relay team of Shay, Blake Parker, Morgan Felts and Stroope, who finished in 4:20.13.
Other Girls: Amesbury, Triton both win
It was an all around great day for our local area girls track teams.
Amesbury picked up a 62-37 victory over Essex Tech thanks to a triple winner and a double winner. Bayleigh Shanahan continued her excellent start to the season, winning the 55-meter (7.82), the 300 (45.74) and the long jump (14-11.50), while Lidya Belanger took first in both the high jump (4-8) and the 55-hurdles (9.75).

Elswhere, Triton picked up a solid 57-42 win over Lynnfield.
The Vikings (1-1) saw both Erin Wallwork and Arianna Basile win two events each. Wallwork took care of the distance events by winning the Mile (5:37.64) and the 2-Mile (12:45.03), while Basile took first in the long jump (13-9.50) and the 300 (45.51).
