CT had so many outstanding performances at NBNO, it is hard to choose which to highlight. Check out which teams earned medals and/ broke significant records on Friday in Philadelphia 

While there were many noteworthy results throughout the day, after the rain delay, CT athletes really shined as the sun was going down at the end of a long day. In the last event of the day, Windsor boys, the State Open champions in the 4x100m and 4x200m not only broke their school record, but the state and New England record as well with a third place finish in a time of 1:26.23. The team of Taeshawn Berry, Maxim Copeland, Damion Sparrow and Jordan Crain  won the 7th of 10 heats and now hold the CT and NE records in the 4x100m and 4x200m relays. The Warrior’s 2013 team holds the state and NE 4x400m record from 2013 and that is the goal for Sunday night. 

The Bloomfield girls dominated the 200m at the State Open taking the top three spots and 7th. They used that depth to finish 6th in the 4x200m to earn their place on the podium, becoming the first CT team under the 1:40 barrier, running 1:39.95. Their team of Saphyr Brown, Jahniya Barclay, Nacquelia Fletcher and Sianna Lloyd broke Career’s 19-year-old state and New England record. 

The WarHawks CCC rivals Windsor finished right behind them in 7th place with a team of Tomari Gillespie, Jordyn Williams, Destiny Ross-Bates and Paige Wilson. The Warriors time of 1:40.09 just missed their school record by .04 seconds and earning a medal by .12 seconds.

The 4x800m was also extremely successful for Nutmeg State teams. While Glastonbury girls just missed out on earning medals by about a second, their time of 9:00.62 broke Tolland’s CT state record. Ava Gattinella…
