Girls Win Tough Meet vs Franklin 51-44

December 10, 2011  Reggie Lewis Center, Boston, MA

An early riser for the girl's track team,  as the bus left Mansfield High School's parking lot at 7:20 am for the first indoor meet at the season.  This was the start of a new era for Mansfield Track as the Varsity dual meets moved out of Franklin Field House and into the much larger and faster Reggie Lewis Track Center.

Franklin, always a very tough matchup came prepared for another tough competition.  Loaded with some outstanding state quality distance runners, Franklin wanted to duplicate what they did two years ago when they defeated Mansfield handily.

This time Mansfield would have none of that as a seasoned group of veterans and some new upstarts came through late in the meet to come home with their first win of the season.  Let by seniors Jen Esposito, Briana Chiusano, Kayla Comer, junior Julia Jones  and relative newcomers Ashley Bjorkman and Kelsey Ferreira, the team held on right to the end.

The major triumphs came late in the meet as the crew of Chiusano, Kelsey Kiley and Dana Foley swept the long jump and then Esposito tied for the win in the high jump, while Caitlin Finnerty took a third place, giving Mansfield a 14-4 edge in those two events.

The team of Bjorkman (64.7), Maddie Oldow (66.5), Chuisano (65.6), and Jones (62.1) ran a very quick 4:19.05 for the win.

Other scorers for the team included: Julie O'Keefe in the shot put (3rd), Dana Foley, two thirds, one in the hurdles and the other in the long jump, Bjorkman, a third in the 600 and leadoff in the 4x400 and Comer and Chuisano, 2nd and 3rd in the 55 meters.  Julia Jones and Maddie Oldow went 1-2 in the 300 as well.
