Saturday’s state meet.  Haines ran a 17:06 to place fourth in the Division II meet. His time ranks him
as Milford’s best distance runner in the ‘90s and third best on the all-time list.

Sophomore Jessica Rivera scored similar accolades on Saturday as she recorded a career best time
of 20:59 which puts her second on Milford’s all-time list behind Melody Rudd. It also earned her a
ninth-place finish in the meet.

Overall, the girls finished 11th out of 20 teams while the boys finished 8th.

Bobby O’Neill also led a great senior finish for the boys by recording his best time this season, an
18:20. Steve Germann, Jacob Barr, Brandon Miller, David Ober, and Ben Wynne rounded out
Milford’s competitors.

For the girls, Heather Rudd, Amanda Schatz, Erin Williams, Alicia Robinson and Sarah Ziccarelli
