Weston Twilight Invitational: Brendan Sullivan clears 16 feet!
The Weston meet yielded a lot of great photos but given the lighting conditions they are taking a bit of work to process, but figured this should get out first. A big highlight of the meet was Westford Academy’s Brendan Sullivan clearing a meet record and USA#26 16 feet in the pole vault in dark and chilly conditions.
By the time Brendan was done jumping, the pole vault box area was just a dark abyss. See below for a slide show of shots of girl’s winner Steph Brown from Newton North along with Brendan’s successful clearance of 16 feet and then attempts at 16’6″.
You can also see these photos in the Weston Invitational Pole Vault Gallery. A few blurry ones but difficult to focus camera in the dark!

Jenn Suhr new American Vault Record
Jenn Suhr set a new American Indoor Pole Vault record of 16 feet at the New Balance Indoor Grand Prix at the Reggie Lewis Center in Boston on February 4th. The “made-for-TV” setup of the meet meant only one photographer was on the infield positioned to shoot her from the runway side of the pit, so our position in the bleachers turned out to be good to capture a special moment for the meet and for Jenn.

From the Boston Globe:
The Newton North girls started on the track and did their best in the final running event. The 4 x 400 relay team of sophomores Meghan Belleraje, Madison Nadeau, and Carla Forbes, and senior Margo Gillis set a meet record with a time of 3:59.61.
“It meant a lot finishing off the running events with a win,’’ said coach Joe Tranchita. “And to get a meet record really boosts the morale even more.’’
The Tigers also won the long jump, triple jump, discus, 4 x 100 hurdles, and 1,600 sprint medley, finishing with 73 points. Andover came in second with 60 points, and Weymouth finished third with 39.
“We had 37 points running and 36 in the field,’’ said Tranchita. “I always say this is the purest team meet and that type of balance really shows that.’’
Senior Amy Ren came back from an ankle injury to help boost the Tigers.
“I had been out for three meets and I just wanted to go out there and be a part of the team,’’ said Ren, a part of three winning teams — the long jump, triple jump, and the hurdles.
Ren, who will run at Dartmouth next year, said getting over the pain in her ankle was a mental thing. “The ambition to do well trumps the pain,’’ she said.
