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.

Newton U14 Lions wrap up spring season with 1-2 overtime loss in MITOC playoffs

The Newton Lions U13-U14 Bay team (team photos) finished the regular season with a 8-0-2 record to win their six team division last week. This enabled them to compete with other eight other division 2 winners for the chance to represent the 180 or so boston area youth soccer teams in the state-wide Massachusetts Tournament of Champions.

They faced Lexington’s #1 team last night in the first round of the playoffs. The Lexington team was from a higher division and also had a 8-0-2 record. After going down 0-1 they came back with a 1-1 equalizer and the game finished regulation in a 1-1 tie. That put the game into two 10 minute overtime periods. They team played well but Lexington had an explosive striker who scored the go ahead goal for them.
