Sherita Williams, TJ at US Nationals
 Sherita opened her US Nationals Triple Jump in style with a big 13.33 meter (43-9) jump, a 2009 season best, to earn herself 3 extra jumps in the finals. She beat out some tough competition this year, including last year's Olympic Trials winner and Hayward Field facility record holder Shani Marks. Sherita's PR of 13.52m from the OT prelims last year would have earned her the same position 8th overall this year with her first jump, one spot up from last year's Olympic Trials effort.
Sherita will return to New England this weekend and enter her final prep of the season getting ready for our Club Nationals at Icahn Stadium on Randall's Island, NY July 10-11. Sherita continues to hold the Club National meet record in TJ since 2007 when the meet was last held in New York.

Greater Boston to Jump into Twilight meet
Teams burst to top of 2009 USATF Grand Prix
MacQueen, McCabe, Lynch, Lee, Kelly, Ovanin, Chick, Vance. Wommack, Haringa, Smith, Somers, Eckel, Papadopoulos, and Mendoza in front. Photos by GreaterSnapLincoln, RI?Prior to today's USATF Grand Prix Championship the Central Mass Striders men's team tied the GBTC men for first place in the year-long series. CMS also led the GBTC women's team by a point. Today the men's team placed third but two team places ahead of CMS in the 18 team field. That thrust them into the lead. The GBTC women placed second team behind the Boston Athletic Association that won both races, but three places ahead of series leading CMS. So both GBTC teams now lead the series. The men's team has won the series but the women's team never has. In the women's race Bradley award winning runner, Meghan Lynch, ran the best race of her life (so far) to take 5th place. Smith, Wommack, Haringa, McCabe, and Lee all ran in the NB Twilight meet the night before. 10th Annual Rhody 5K Road Race New England Grand Prix Championship June 7, 2009 Lincoln, RI 1 14:33 4:41 Luke Meyer BOSTON ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION 10 15:26 4:58 Dan Smith GREATER BOSTON TRACK CLUB 11 15:28 4:59 Kevin Somers GREATER BOSTON TRACK CLUB 19 15:44 5:04 Matthew Haringa GREATER BOSTON TRACK CLUB 27 15:50 5:06 Andrew Wommack GREATER BOSTON TRACK CLUB 40 16:09 5:12 Ioannis Papadopoulos GREATER BOSTON TRACK CLUB 51 16:23 5:17 Ryan Eckel GREATER BOSTON TRACK CLUB 66 16:36 5:21 Eric Mendoza GREATER BOSTON TRACK CLUB 78 17:15 5:33 Will Feldman GREATER BOSTON TRACK CLUB 80 17:16 5:34 Brad Kozel GREATER BOSTON TRACK CLUB 81 17:19 5:35 Michael Panas GREATER BOSTON TRACK CLUB 85 17:26 5:37 Bruce Davie GREATER BOSTON TRACK CLUB 98 17:52 5:45 Adam Greenspan GREATER BOSTON TRACK CLUB 167 20:15 6:31 Andrew Guida GREATER BOSTON TRACK CLUB 221 21:49 7:02 Norm Robbie GREATER BOSTON TRACK CLUB 440 men
