Paul Revere Middle School was well represented last Sunday at the Southern California Municipal Athletic Federation Los Angeles Track & Field Championships in Downey. Standout performances were turned in by many Riders like Mackenzie Gray, Sahar Michael, Rohan Vivek, Shetty, Karen Ruhman, Danny White, Laura Sussman, Annie Elander and Laura Carr. Zach Peters and Kendall Gustafson each set two new school records at the meet. Peters ran the boys’ 100 meters in a record time of 11.7 seconds and the 400 meters in a record 58.5 seconds. Gustafson, younger sister of Palisades High volleyball and track standout Lauren Gustafson, eclipsed school marks in the girls’ 200 meters (26.0 seconds) and 400 meters (61.1 seconds). Drake Johnston set a school record in the mile, running four laps around the track in 4:51. Brett Frangipane cleared a personal-best five feet, four inches in the boys’ high jump. Using the motto “Pain is temporary, Pride is forever!” as a rallying cry, the Revere P.E. Department will hold the Riders’ annual cross country finals today on campus. Seventh-graders will go first, followed by eighth-graders and finally the sixth-graders. Two school records were eclipsed this year in the semifinals on the 1.5-mile course. Johnston, an eighth-grader, finished in 7:44, breaking the 12-year-old Revere mark by former All-American and UCLA standout Bob Larsen. Not to be outdone, sixth-grade phenom Marissa Williams completed the course in 8:36, shattering the sixth-grade record and clocking the fastest girls time ever for 1.5 miles.
