RHS Girls Track Rolls to 3–0 Record
The undefeated Revere High girls outdoor track and field team rolled to its third straight win of the young season with a runaway 102-29 victory at Lynn Classical this past Thursday.
The top scorer for the coach Racquel MacDonald’s Lady Patriots once again was Ashley Cabrera Rodriguez, who put up a total of 11 points across three events. Ashley took first place in the 100m hurdles (18.6) and the triple jump (28′-7.5″) and third in the long jump (13′-5.25″).
“Ashley has been such a versatile athlete and this meet really just proved that she can succeed in multiple events,” said MacDonald.
Freshman Gemma Stamatopolous tallied 10 points for the Revere side of the scoresheet with first-place performances in the two-mile run (14:59.7) and the 400m dash (69.4). “Gemma is also going to be a truly versatile runner,” noted MacDonald. “I was excited to see how she would perform in her first sprint event and she absolutely crushed it. We’ll definitely keep moving her around throughout upcoming meets.”
The Lady Patriots swept multiple events, including all three of the throws (shot, discus, and javelin): In the shot-put, the trio of Francoise Kodjo (24′-‘1), Camila Echeverri (22′-11″) and Sandra Torres (22′-6″) went 1-2-3; in the discus, it was the threesome of Camila Echeverri (59′-2″), Sandra Torres (59′-0″), and Angelina Montoya (47′-7) who took all nine points; and in the javelin, Jovcelyn Lazo (63′-10″), Bella Stamatopoulos (55′-10″), and Rocio Gonzalez (52’-5″) claimed all nine points.
Revere also swept the 800m, led by senior Alannah Burke (2:48.6), who was followed by Hiba El Bzyouy (3:15.6) and Asmaa Azeroual (3:18.8).
Additional first-place finishers for the Lady Patriots included Luisa Khorsi in the high jump (4′-0″), Marwa Riad in the long jump (13′-8.5″), Basma Sahibi in the 400m hurdles (1:26.5), Giselle Salvador in the 200m (30.4), and Olivia Rupp in the mile (6:24.2).
Adding three points to the RHS cause with second-place finishes were Basma Sahibi in the triple jump (25′-4″), Hiba El Bzyouy in the 400m hurdles (1:27.9), Yara Belguedouz in the 100m hurdles (18.9), Jaliyah Manigo in the 200m (31.2), Luisa Khorsi in the 400m (71.7), and Valeria Sepulveda in the two-mile (15:33.3).
Chipping in single points with third-place performances were Giselle Salvador in the 100m (14.0) and Rocio Gonzalez in the mile (6:33.8).
MacDonald and her crew were scheduled to take on Lynn English at Harry Della Russo Stadium yesterday (Tuesday) and will host Medford next Thursday at HDR.
RHS Baseball Team Tops Everett, 8-2
The Revere High baseball team improved to 4-2 in the Greater Boston League and got back to the .500 mark overall with an 8-2 triumph at GBL rival Everett last Wednesday.
The Patriots Revere accounted for all of their damage in the first four innings, jumping out to a 3-0 lead in the top of the first that expanded to an 8-1 bulge after four fraes.
RHS starting pitcher Dom Boudreau surrendered a hit to the first Crimson Tide batter of the game, and though that runner would ultimately score, it would prove be the one and only hit that Dom would surrender the rest of the way, as the senior cruised to a complete-game one-hitter in which he fanned 13 Everett batters, equaling teammate Kyle Cumming’s season-leading K total from two games ago.
The Patriots displayed some power at the plate, with junior Ollie Svendsen (bases-loaded double), senior Giancarlo Miro (triple), Cummings (triple), and freshman Dom Bellia (triple) all bashing extra-base hits.
Two days later the Patriots came up on the short end of an 8-1 decision to non-league opponent Weston, which plays in the Dual County League and which came into the contest with an undefeated record (4-0) in which they had outscored their opponents by a lopsided 64-12 margin.
Revere struck first when Chris Cassidy reached on a swinging bunt, advanced to second, cleverly stole third, and came home on an error on a grounder by Cummings. However, that would prove to be Revere’s only run of the day as the Pats struggled to do much of anything against Weston freshman Aidan Murphy, who pitched a complete game, surrendering just four hits, one of which was senior Sonny Blazo’s first of his career.
Revere starter Giancarlo Miro was churning out a good outing, not allowing a single Wildcat to score through the first three innings, before getting in trouble in the fourth. From that point on, Revere brought in a trio of relievers (Cassidy, Ollie Svendsen, and Pat Keefe) but Weston increased its lead.
In a bright spot defensively for Revere, the Patriots cut down two runners at the plate on throws by Bellia in left field and Boudreau, who was in center.
RHS head coach Michael Manning and his crew’s contest at Somerville this past Monday was postponed to yesterday (Tuesday). They will host GBL rivals Lynn Classical today (Wednesday) and Lynn English on Friday before traveling to Medford next Monday.
