Tyrer-Vasell, shown here winning the triple jump, shattered the school recrod in the high hurdles.

In East Bridgewater’s fourth straight victory to start the season, a 97.5-38.5 win in Hanover last Thursday, Tyrer-Vasell not only won the high jump and triple jump, but opened the meet by breaking the school record in the high hurdles with a time of 14.4 seconds.

“That has to be one of the fastest times in the country this year,” McCabe said. “His performances in the cold weather were remarkable and today in the warmer weather you see him going down to 14.4 which is just a remarkable time for the high hurdles. He’s been unbelievable.”

Fellow captain Nathan Illsley also ran a personal best in the hurdles to get the Vikings going strong out of the gate and Brian Phillips and Brenner Campos kept the momentum going in the next race by picking up two of the top three spots in the 100-meter dash.

“We just steamrolled from there,” said McCabe, who felt Hanover was going to present a challenge for his team. “This should have been a lot closer than it was but, all across the board, people came through with personal bests and worked hard to win. I think that showed in the result. I’m really happy with the performance.”

McCabe was also happy with the performance of junior Mike Coles, who overtook an Indian runner in the final turn of the two-mile race to pick up second place while Chris Harvey continued his strong spring running the mile.

 McCabe credited the senior leadership for the 4-0 starts to the spring season for his team, saying that they want to build off winning the Class D relays during the indoor season to take home one more title.

“Coming out of indoor, they wanted to win the championship,” he said, adding that they have done a good job taking control of the team in practice. “It’s like a well-oiled machine right now.”

The Vikings look to go 5-0 when they travel to Norwell for their first league meet. While McCabe said he expects Norwell to have good athletes, but for the Viking depth to lead them to victory.

“Typically they have some top performers, but they don’t have a lot of depth,” he said of Norwell. “We should be able to handle them because we have both.”
