Malone Breaks Wakefield High's 55-Meter Dash Record

Patty Malone has really made a name for herself on the track over the past few years competing for the Warriors. The outstanding senior sprinter has really shined.

Malone originally started off as a 400 meter runner, but dropped down in distance to the 100 meter dash last spring. That seemed to be a wise move since it led her all the way to the All State meet, an incredible accomplishment. This season, she has been dominant in the 55-meter dash. 

On January 25th at the Middlesex League Championship, Malone set a new school record in the 55-meter dash with a time of 7.62 seconds. In doing so, she won the league title. This Friday, she will compete in the Division 3 State Championship at Reggie Lewis, attempting to lower her time and qualify for All States.

In the fall, Malone will be taking her talents to Assumption College and will comptete for the Greyhounds.
