Outdoor Track and Field Meet Previews and Summaries

Callanan Ends Season on High Note
Graduating senior, Matt Callanan, made his 18 hour trip to Greensboro, NC a very worthwhile venture as he placed 5th at the Nike Outdoor National High School Championships on June 20, 2008.  Callanan, the Massachusetts State 110 meter hurdle champ and New England 110 meter hurdle champ came to Greensboro with very high expectations, that of making the finals against some of the best high school hurdlers in the country. The trials were extremely competitive as a time of 14.29 failed to make it to the final round.  Although Callanan had a best of 14.14 for the outdoor season, he had not faced such stiff competition all year.  The trials were approached as if it was a final.  Callanan hung tough and placed seventh with a time of 14.26. He finished third in his section in the preliminary race.  He was seeded 12th coming into the race, so his first big hurdle was accomplished-getting to the finals.  Callanan's 5th place finish garnered him All-America status, only the third in Mansfield track and field history, (Ryan Collins was an All-America last year outdoors and Mike McPherson gained All-America status this past indoor season).

had been seeded 22nd overall.  

New England Championships - Saco, Maine, Saturday, June 14, 2008
A trip north resulted in two championship plaques coming back home to Mansfield as Matt Callanan and Mike McPherson won their events handily.  Callanan was hoping for some strong competition out of Connecticut, but none materialized as the top three placings in the finals all came out of Massachusetts.  Another head wind didn't help produce a fast time (14.40), but the race clearly showed that Callanan was in command.  He did provide a slight scare to his mom and coach, as he was seen limping gingerly after his trial heat.  A quick icing of his knee and a walk around the track seemed to alleviate any issues and off he went winning another title.

Mike McPherson's cool and calm demeanor proved to be a real asset as the slow paced event did not phase the graduating senior set to matriculate at Gardner-Webb University in North Carolina next year.  After McPherson's first toss, the event was over as no other thrower could produce similar results.  His throw of 55-09.00 feet was off his personal record, but strong enough for another victory for Mansfield. 

The 4x800 meter relay team also participated, but a late season illness to both Pete Starke and Mike Bolea was too much for the foursome to overcome.  The team lost contact early on the second leg and despite Starke's valiant efforts to get back into the top 8 places, the team came up short.

Callanan will be heading south to Greensboro, NC next weekend to face some of the best hurdlers in the country at the Scholastic National Championships.  He will be competing in both the high hurdles and the 400 meter intermediate hurdles.

All State Meet - Durfee High School, Fall River, Ma - Saturday
On a day that would better have been spent down on the beautiful Cape Cod beaches with temps reaching the low 90's, Mansfield did some magical things at the all-state meet, resulting in a third place finish for the Hornets with 27 points, only three points away from overall winner, Charlestown and only one point behind second place Newton North .  Dan Glavin started the day off with a third place in the disc (158-07.00),  followed by Mike McPherson winning the state title in the shot put (55-10.25).  Glavin also scored in the shot, placing fourth (52-08.75).  Matt Callanan proved that he was, indeed, the best hurdler in the state of Massachusetts, winning his specialty, the 110 high hurdles, convincingly (14.28 in the trials and 14.31 in the finals).  The 4 x 800 meter relay team ran a super 8:08.49 relay to finish fifth, with Chris Harney leading off in 2:02+, Pat Grimes running another 2:02+ , Mike Bolea hanging in with a 2:04+ and then Pete Starke running a solid 1:58+ anchor.  Their performance was the second school record in as many weeks.  The 4x400 relay team, unfortunately, did not perform up to potential as JD Chafiloux hurt his hamstring in the open 400 and could not run full strength.  Chris Szrom ran his best race of the year, leading off in 53.0.  Matt Callanan ran a 52.0 second leg, and Kyle Kilduff ran a super 50.8 seasonal best on the third leg.  JD tried his best, but could only manage a 53.0 on the anchor.  Andrew Erwin ran in the 2 mile, but did not score.

State Meet
It took a strong team effort, but the guys did a tremendous job, placing third in the State Div 2 East Championships, only 2.5 points out of second and one point ahead of Woburn and Whitman-Hanson.  Here are the team scores

So, how was it done?  The field events took front and center at 4pm with the discus followed by the shot put.  In quick succession, Mansfield picked up 26 points as Dan Glavin scored in both the disc and shot, placing second with a toss of 148-00.00 in the disc and then came back to take second in the shot put (52-08.50).  Mike McPherson won the shot put on his first throw, keeping everyone else at bay with his 55-00.00 throw.  Although not scorng, Brett Weiner threw 133-04.00 in the disc, a 5 foot improvement.The rest of the points came from the running events as Andrew Erwin ran a very strong 2 mile and placed 4th with a time of 9:48.02.  Mike Bolea, moving up from the mile, finished sixth (9:53.21) and sophomore Pat McGowan barely missed scoring as he finished 7th with a personal best of 9:55.68. Two other notable marks in the distance events:  Sophomore Brendan Boyle broke through the 4:40 barrier in the mile with a time of 4:319.13, as did sophomore Matt Hernon, 4:39.49.

JD Chalifoux also moved up from his usual event, running only his second open 400 meters, gaining a 4th place finish with a time of 51.59.  Soph Kyle Kilduff finished 3rd in his section and 10th overall with a time of 52.73.  The 800 meters and the mile run proved to be elusive for the Hornets, despite some very good performances by Pete Starke (2:02.24) and Pat Grimes (4:31.30).  Neither individual scored, with Grimes recording a personal best.

Next up was meet favorite Matt Callanan, who has not lost a race all season.  He didn't disappoint as he ran an excellent 14.31 against the strong headwind.  Second place was a distant 14.88 by Sheldon Allen from Charlestown.  Allen had won this race last year.

The final two scoring events were the 4x800 relay and the 4x400 relay.  The 4x800 was looking for some revenge as it was disqualified the previous week at the Hockomock League championship meet.  The team of Chris Harney, Andrew Erwin, Mike Bolea and Pete Starke ran 8:15.48, good for second place and a school record.  The final event of the evening produced another good performance as the team of Chris Szrom (54.3), Matt Callanan (50.8), Kyle Kilduff (51.1) and JD Chalifoux (50.8) ran a very competitive race, with a seasonal best of 3:27.32, good for fourth place.

Next weekend it is on to the all-state meet  at Durfee High School.

Mansfield at State Coaches Division 2 Relay Meet @ Dennis-Yarmouth 5/17/08
A modified boys team traveled to Cape Cod on a drizzly, foggy Saturday morning to compete at the Division 2 Coaches Relay meet.  The day started off well for the Hornets as the 4x1600 meter relay team finished third behind two Whitman-Hanson teams, recording a time of 19:05.19 for the metric 4 mile relay.  Mansfield also entered a second team that placed 7th in 19:42.27.  In the 4x800 Mansfield finished second with a time of 8:20.61.  Again Whitman-Hanson was the winner overall, just barely beating Mansfield at 8:20.31.  The distance medley team (800-400-1200-1600) finished fifth with a time of 11:15.29. The discus relay won big with a combined distance of 380-04.00 beating a good Franklin team by 13 feet. The shot put relay was also a good score for Mansfield as they placed third with an overall distance of 136-08.50.
The team managed to finish fifth overall for the day, scoring a total of 32 points.

Mansfield 74 North Attleboro 62 - Hockomock Dual Meet Champs (8-0)
The Mansfield track team and the North Attleboro team had a great competition yesterday.  The meet was well run, the athletes were complementary to each other as both teams knew how tough each athlete competed for their team.  The outcome didn't materialize until late in the afternoon, as each side managed to keep the score close one event after the other.  North Attleboro would sweep an event, Mansfield would come back and take the next event.  Even the relays broke evenly as North won the 4x100 and Mansfield won the 4x400.  This meet will be remembered for quite some time.

Here are the performance marks, as they deserve front page exposure:

Mansfield performs well at Hartford Invitational
A small group of Mansfield track athletes got up early on Saturday morning to travel to Hartford, Ct and participate in the 37th Annual Hartford HS Invitational.  The boys came home with three watches, a school record and some good performances against competition from three different states.  Leading the way was Matt Callanan, who ran an impressive 14.14 seconds for the high hurdles.  The mark is a school record and garnered Callanan his first watch, given to the winners.  Later in the day, he came back to win the 400 intermediate hurdles in 55.30, also a school record. Mike McPherson won the shot put in 54-06.5 to get the third watch.  Dan Glavin put the shot 48-06.00 to get 11th in the event.  McPherson also competed in the disc where he finished 5th with a toss of 141-08.00, while Glavin was close behind at 138-06.00.

Kyle Kilduff continues to make improvements in the 400 meter event, as he narrowly got beat in his heat, but still managed to record a personal best of 51.60, which was good enough for 14th place overall. JD Chalifoux ran 22.90 in the 200, good for 13th place overall.  Later in the day, he would anchor the 4x400 meter relay team with a 50.2 leg, a personal best.  The relay team ran 3:30.90.  The team consisted of Chris Szrom on the leadoff (53.8), Matt Callanan (54.7), Kyle Kilduff (52.9) and Chalifoux (50.2).

Mansfield 105 Oliver Ames 31
 The sunny skies and warm weather (yes we do talk a lot about the weather, don't we?) brought out the best in the Boys competition against next door neighbor, Oliver Ames.  Matt Callanan made a major breakthrough in the 110 high hurdles as he ran a personal best of 13.9h to top the highlight list this afternoon.  Callanan had run a 14.2h time earlier this year, but was aided with a pretty good wind.  Today, the slight wind was a cross wind, so his performance is quite remarkable.  Earlier in the meet, Callanan ran a solid 39.4h 300 intermediate race and felt quite good.  The high hurdle race showed just how good he was feeling.  JD Chalifoux, Andrew Erwin, and Patrick Grimes also contributed with some very good performances.  Chalifoux moved up to the 400 and recorded a personal best of 51.2h in handily winning.  Teammate Chris Szrom continues his rapid improvement in the 400 recording a time of 53.3h to place third.  Erwin and Grimes decided to work together for 3 and 3/4 laps and then the two of them made it a great dash for the finish with Erwin coming out the winner with an excellent time of 4:36.7h.  Grimes was just a few steps behind in 4:37.0h.  Powell Simpson continued to win multiple events, starting off with a 20-04.00 long jump win and then running a seasonal best of 11.0h in winning the 100 meters.  He then moved to the high jump where he finished second, as he had to take time out to run the third leg of the victorious 4 x 400 meter relay.

Peter Starke continued his winning ways as he recorded a 2:05.5h 800 meter win with Chris Harney right behind at 2:05.9.  Shayne Collins qualified for the state meet placing 2nd in the 2 mile run, while Andrew Bailey set two personal bests in the hurdle races, placing second to Callanan in both.  He also won the Javelin.

Mike McPherson won the shot put and placed third in the disc, while teammate Dan Glavin was second in the shot and won the disc.

Overall, the Hornets won 13 events.
Results can be found here.

This coming weekend the squad will compete at two locations, with one group traveling to Hartford, Ct. for the Hartford Invitational while the rest of the squad will be competing at the MA Coaches Invitational at Durfee High School.

Mansfield 94 Sharon 33
Mansfield won 13 of 15 events this afternoon as they handily defeated a young Sharon team at home.  The cool weather and swirling wind didn't do much to excite either team, but there were a few competitions that stood out.  In a showdown between Brad Mattocks, the swift sophomore from Sharon, and Kyle Kilduff, also a sophomore ended in a great run down the final straight with Kilduff coming out victorious.  Mattocks, who lead the league in the 400 (51.8h) in beating Foley of Foxboro last week, ran a very strong 200 meters, with Kilduff right there with him.  Coming off the final turn, Kilduff moved by Mattocks and pulled away handily. Kilduff finished with a personal best of 51.6h, with Mattocks running 52.5h.

Matt Callanan maintained his winning streak in both the intermediate hurdles and high hurdles, running 40.3h and  14.4h, respectively.  Chris Fong won the shot put in 43-03.00 as Mike McPherson and Dan Glavin took the off from the shot put.  McPherson won the disc with a toss of 139-05.00 and Glavin placed second in the disc and a third in the Javelin with a throw of 134-05.00.  Andrew Bailey won the Javelin with a personal best of 154-03.00. 

Ben Mattocks, brother to Brad, won the mile for Sharon, running a strong 4:38.0h, while Mike Bolea (4:39.9h) and Pete Starke (4:40.0h) were close behind.

The twosome of Andrew Erwin (10:03.2h), Patrick Grimes (10:14.0h) were able to handle the rigors of the two mile in a controlled fashion. 

Powell Simpson easily won the 200 (22.9h) and the long jump (20-02.25), while teammate JD Chalifoux won the 100 (11.2h) and Chris Harney won the 800 with a time of 2:08.5h.

The freshmen and sophomores travel down to New Bedford on Saturday for the State Frosh-Soph meet, while the rest of the team return for the next to last dual meet on Tuesday when Oliver Ames comes to visit.
