NBNI: Day 1 produces two state marks

Quashira McIntosh loves competing at the New Balance Center in New York. It’s the site of several of the best races of her career.

Friday afternoon at the New Balance Nationals, it was also the site of another record-breaking performance.

McIntosh continued her excellence at the famed facility by smashing her own state record in the 60-meter dash with a time of 7.65 seconds. The Blue Wave standout actually broke her existing mark of 7.78, set at last year’s nationals, by winning the preliminaries of the Emerging Elite (EE) race. She came back later and finished third overall in the finals at 7.66.  

“I just love it here,” she said. “There is always good competition. The people love running against us and I love running against them.”

McIntosh also ran the anchor leg on Hope’s 4x200m relay of sophomores Isis Hack, Chevell Burgess and Desitiny Hughes-Barnes that placed 11th overall in the Emerging Elite race with a time of 1:45.20. McIntosh split was 24.23!

On Saturday, the Hope speedster will be back on the oval for the championship 200, where she has one primary goal – “Breaking the state record.”

McIntosh wasn’t the only R.I. athlete to establish a state. mark during Day 1 of the three-day competition. In the boys’ 5,000m, Bishop Hendricken senior Colin Tierney demolished the indoor record by nine seconds,finishing tenth overall with a time of 15:04.15. Former East Greenwich standout Nick Ross held the old mark of 15:13.13, set in 2009 at the now-defunct Nike Indoor Nationals.

In other events featuring R.I. athletes, the La Salle girls were ninth in the DMR with a time of 12:04.27.Nick Snow of Moses Brown was fourth in his preliminary heat of the EE 200m with a time of 22.89. Bishop Hendricken's Ben Murphy was 11th overall in the EE high jump with a height of 6-2.25. Jacob Reilly of Middletown was 17th at 6-0.5. In the EE shot put, Woonsocket's Connor Fugere took 13th overall with a toss of 50-0.75. Carly Timpson of Narragansett was tenth overall in the EE high jump with a leap of 5-2.5. North Kingstown's Beth Nunnery was timed in 11:33.42 in the EE two mile. East Greenwich's Summer Murray had a distance of 32-10.25 in the 20-pound weight.
