Two school records fall on way to season-ending win over Exeter
The PATF girls finished out an undefeated season with a 99-44 win over rival Exeter in the annual A/E meet.Two school records were re-set on the afternoon: Eden Dunleavy '29 broke the 400m mark with a time of 56.67, and in the final race of the day the 4x400m team of Jenna Robertson-Palmer '27, Ela Budzinski '28, Lauren Signoriello '27 and Dunleavy finished in 3:55.59, the fourth time this spring the quartet has lowered the record in that event.
Their time is not just the fastest among all Massachusetts high schools this spring, but is tops in all of New England.
Dunleavy broke a 22-year-old mark in the 400m, pushed in the race by Signoriello (57.27 personal best) and Robertson-Palmer (58.11 personal best). The junior doubled back in the 200m, winning in a class record 25.38.
Her wins were two of 15 on the day for Big Blue, with two other Andover girls posting two wins each:
In her final meet with PATF, Kai Mafunga '26 was tops in javelin (93'10) and discus (99'1), and Gabbie Kawooya '27 was first in 100m hurdles (18.35) and triple jump (31'11.5).
In all, the Andover girls finished the meet with 29 new personal bests, a testament to the work they put in this season to improve in their respective events.
