Revere girls tennis shows promise despite loss

Medford topped Revere, 5-0, in girls tennis.

At first singles, Dayna Phan lost 6-0, 6-4. “Even though she lost, she did continue to play better as the match continued,” Revere coach Carla Maniscalco said.

At second singles, Jaimy Gomez fell 6-4, 6-1.  She was down 5-1 in the first set, and she did start to make a comeback, but just wasn’t able to hold on to the momentum.

At second doubles Ivana Nguyen and Erta Ishmahili fought hard in a 6-3, 6-2 loss. “There were moments in that match where they were on the verge of catching up,” Maniscalco said.

Revere was 2-3 after five matches.

Revere girls track remains unbeaten

The Revere girls moved to 4-0 on the season last week defeating Lynn English, 91-45.

Liv Yuong returned and took home two first places and one third place scoring 11 points for the team. She had a season PR in the 100-meter hurdles with a time of 17.7.

Gemma Stamatopoulos took home a first and a second place for the team (first in 800m, tied for second in high jump), scoring seven individual points in total. She was also a part of the first-place 4x400m relay team.

Senior Captain Yara Belguendouz took home first and second place for the team, scoring eight points (first in javelin, second in 100m hurdles).

Ashley Cabrera Rodriguez also scored eight points placing first in triple jump and second in the 200m.

Other first places included Neyla Vranic in the long jump, Angelina Montoya in the discus, Rania Hamdani in the 400m, Genevieve Zierten in the mile and Rocio Gonzalez in the 2 mile.

Revere swept in the discus event: Anghi Montoya, Camila Echeverri, Ashley Chandler.

The Patriots got a 4x400m win with a time of 4:43.7 for the quartet of Marwa Riad, Jaliyah Manigo, Rania Hamdani and Stamatopoulos.

The team also headed to the MSTCA D1 State Relays in Franklin, where it set/broke a total of five relay records:

4x200m Relay Record: 1:56.79 set by Giselle Salvador, Jaliyah Manigo, Gemma Stamatopoulos, Ashley Cabrera Rodriguez. Previous record was set in 2017 and was 1:58.

Distance Medley Relay: 14:58.16 set by Rocio Gonzalez, Gemma Stamatopoulos, Olivia Rupp, and Genevieve Zierten. Previous record was set in 2017 and was 14:58.6.

Javelin throw record: 58.68 set by Rocio Gonzalez, Jocelyn Lazo, Yara Belguendouz.

Long jump: 13.79 set by Liv Yuong, Marwa Riad, Neyla Vranic.

Discus throw: 53.68 set by Angelina Montoya, Camila Echeverri, Ashley Chandler.

“We also saw some non-record-breaking but still stellar performances in the 4x100m and 4x400m where both teams had season bests and were very close to school records,” Revere coach Racquel MacDonald-Ciambelli said. “This is the perfect halfway point for the team as we head into our toughest competition this season. I am confident that if the girls keep up this momentum, we will continue to see consistent PRs and a total rewriting of the RHS record books.”
