Sixth-grader Jacklyn Bamberger set a new girls record at Paul Revere Middle School’s annual cross country run with a time of 8:52, smashing the old mark of 9:18. The fastest time ever is 7:50. The mile-and-a-half race has been a 15-year tradition at Revere as the culminating activity for PE classes in the spring semester. The qualification process starts with all students running the course. Seventh- and eighth-graders are pared down from the original 1,400 students to 40 boys and 40 girls finalists. The top seventh- and eighth-grade girl was Kierra Miller, who clocked 9:11. In second was Chelsea Shannon, Tiffany Falk was third and Deborah Abber fourth. Zierwringht Valle won the boys race in 8:11 followed by Alex Anastasi, Gatien Salaen and Dylan Jeffers. Of the 700 sixth-graders, the top 30 boys and 30 girls compete. In addition to Bamberger, Caroline Kolin took second, Kendall Gustafson was third and Kylie Mizushima was fourth. The top sixth-grade boys were Drake Johnston (8:57), Ivan Lopez, Danny Bailey and Zach Peters.
