The Vineyarders had 10 top five finishes in the finals at the Sunset Invite. Shavanae Anderson had three of them, placing second in the triple jump (33′ 10.25″), fourth in the long jump (14′ 6.25″), and fifth in the 100-meters (13.72). Jeremy Alley-Tarter was second in the 800-meters (1:59.29), Mike Schroeder took third in the mile (4:40.46), Jacob Lawrence finished fourth in the 200-meters (23.58), and the Vineyard 4 x 400 relay team was fourth (3:41.87).

In the field events, Joe Turney was third in the javelin (159′ 8″), Diego De Freitas placed fourth in the discus (121′ 8″) and Maggie Riseborough finished fifth in the shot put (24′ 10.5″).

Earlier in the day at the MSTCA in Westwood, Kevin Montambault was the top placing athlete for M.V., taking fifth in the 110-meter high hurdles with a personal best and state qualifying time of 17.23 and ninth in the discus (93′ 4″). Anders Nelson was eighth in the javelin (123′). Sabrina Reppert qualified in the 400-meters with an eighth place time of 64.88.

The Vineyarders began the month of May with an Eastern Athletic Conference home meet against league giants Bishop Feehan. The Shamrocks have won multiple state championships. The girls are the defending MIAA state Division 3 champions and the boys won their 100th consecutive dual meet last spring.

The Vineyard boys gave Feehan a scare, falling 74-62. The Shamrocks took the field events 33-21, despite personal bests in the shot (41′) and discus (124′) by Vineyarder Mike Cutrer. Both throws were state qualifying efforts. Also qualifying for states were Andrew Freitas in the discus (127′ 2″), Jacob Lawrence in the long jump (20′ 6″), and Tony Breth in the triple jump (38′ 10″).

The Vineyarders took first in seven of 10 track events to climb within 60-57 with the two-mile run and both relays left. Feehan’s depth saw them through, despite a Vineyard win in the 4 x 100 relay.

The Vineyard girls won the field events 29-25 but lost overall 88-48. Maggie Riseborough put the shot 36′ 8.5″ and threw the discus a season best 104’10”. Shavanae Anderson won both the long and triple jumps. Mariah Campbell was second in the high jump and third in the long jump; Bailey Moreis second in the triple jump and Ina Thigith third in the shot put.

On the track, Julia Neville, Sabrina Reppert and Mariah Campbell placed second in the 800, 400 and both hurdles respectively.
