BOSTON — Andover junior Devin Connell finished just off his own school record with a 2:31.69 for second in the 1,000 meters at the New England Championsips.
The talented junior was nipped by Stephen (no relation) Tyler of Weston, Conn., who won in 2:31.53.
Salem senior Katy Nippert, on the heels of being named Moynihan Lumber Scholar-Athlete of the Month, soared 17-7.5 for fifth in the long jump. North Reading's Juliette Nadeau was the final placer, taking eighth on a tie-breaker with a 17-6 jump.
