It was the second undefeated season in a row for the Eagles, who were led by Courtney Gabinetti with first place finishes in the high jump, hurdles and 400. She also anchored the winning 4×200 relay team.

Her 4-foot, 10-inch high jump tied the meet record and her 1:00.01 time in the 400 bested the meet record by nearly two seconds and would have placed her fourth among all New Hampshire high school girls.

The Amherst boys finished eight points out of first place in their attempt to win their third championship in a row. Drew Prescott came in first in the 400 (57.17), David Kibbie was first in the 800 (2:19.99) and Patrick Lynch took first in the 1,600 with a school record time of 4:57.6.

Other school records recorded during the season included Sarah Hurd tying Gabinetti’s 4-10 in the high jump; Prescott 56.2 in the 400; the team of Behn, Huyck, Boothroyd and Madison Learned with a 52.9 in the 4×100 relay; and the team of Gabinetti, Huyck, Boothroyd and Learned with a 1:50.4 in the 4×200 relay. Gabinetti lowered her school record in the 400 five times. Top point scorers for the season for the boys were Ben DeForest, who was second at the championship in the hurdles and third in the high jump. For the second season in a row, Gabinetti was the top scorer for the girls.
