Malden Boys Volleyball records major win over GBL rival Revere, 3-1
By Steve Freker
The Malden High School girls tennis team is on a major roll and just happens to have set a new mark for a Golden Tornado team in the new MIAA Power Rankings. At an undefeated 7-0, Malden is on track for a consecutive, back-to-back Greater Boston League Championship.
Also key for Malden is its impressive #18 mark in the MIAA Power Ranking. At #18, Malden Girls Tennis is the highest ranking ever – for any Malden team – according to Malden High Principal Chris Mastrangelo. “It is the first time we have had any of our teams in the Top 20,” said Mastrangelo, who sits on the MIAA Tournament Management Committee (TMC). “It is a good spring showing for a lot of our teams.”
School record for Malden high jumper Onejiaka
Congratulations to Malden junior Vivian Onejiaka, who set a new school record in the high jump event in a Malden meet versus Medford High. Onejiaka leaped to a record high of 5 feet, 3 inches, breaking a previous mark of 5 feet, 2 inches.
“We are very proud of Vivian and the girls outdoor track team’s achievements. Their coach Michelle Meranda-Le does a fantastic job with her student-athletes,” said Malden Public Schools Director of Athletics Charlie Conefrey.
