Marblehead track qualifiers shine on national stage
With their official high school season over, it was time for the Marblehead High indoor track national qualifiers to compete against the nation at The Track at New Balance complex in Allston March 9-12, technically running as the “Marblehead Track Club” rather than Magicians.
Ryan Thompson qualified for both the 400 and 800 events in the Rising Stars category in the New Balance Indoor Nationals. His 600 time of 1:24.12 during the regular season qualified him for the 400, and his 1,000-meter time of 2:36.61 also qualified him for the 800.
