iguring out who’s the premier athlete in a sport filled with distinguished candidates can be a nebulous
process, but not this time. Baltzell
made a compelling case for the title of
T&G Super Team Athlete of the Year
with some brilliant results. The
6-foot-5, 175-pound senior standout
was a runaway winner at the Central
Mass. Decathlon, his 6,314 points
establishing a meet record. Baltzell considers that mark
— which he set after completing the 1,500 meters, the
10th and final event, with a balky hamstring — to be his
most memorable sports moment. He won the high jump,
discus, 110 hurdles and 400 hurdles at the Dual Valley
Conference Championships. The Central Mass. Championships brought more success, Baltzell winning the
high jump (6 feet, 8 inches) for the second time in three
years and placing second in the 400 hurdles (58.52 seconds). He holds school records in the discus (138 feet)
and high jump, his 6-9 leap taking third at the state
meet. Baltzell, who was named to five T&G Super Teams
in track, is headed to the University of Rhode Island.
He’s the son of Jane and Mark Baltzell of Sutton.

course, watching movies. He is the son of Cindy and

for a meet record by half a second.
That was followed by his stirring
victory at the state meet in which he came from
behind and then held off favored John Gregorek of
Seekonk on the final lap. His 4:14.54 clocking lowered his school record and completed an undefeated

his personal best to 9:16.90. He wrapped things up by
placing sixth in the 3,200 and fourth in the 3,200 relay
at the New Englands. All in all, it was a terrific year as
Horowitz helped the Chieftains win a second straight
CMass Division 1 title in cross-country, retain their

Athlete
of the Year
Emily Jones
Bromfield School
Senior, 2-Mile
o ridiculously good for so
darn long — that will be the
enduring legend of Jones’ high
school athletic career. She
earned the first of 13 T&G Super
Team spots as a precocious
eighth-grader, and she won the
last of her 10 state titles as a
polished senior, capturing the
2-mile in 10 minutes, 26.38 seconds in front of an appreciative and overflow
crowd at Fitchburg State’s Elliott Field. There
wasn’t another runner within 28 seconds of
Jones, who fell three seconds shy of the
10-year-old meet record held by Olympic medalist and U.S. record-holder Shalene Flanagan of
Marblehead. That’s a mark Jones dearly wanted,
but you never would have known it afterward.
Post-race displays of smiles, sportsmanship and
graciousness came to define her as much as
winning the races themselves. Jones’ final scholastic appearance occurred at the Nike Outdoor
Nationals in Greensboro, N.C. This three-time
recipient of a Gatorade Massachusetts Athlete of
the Year Award finished third in the 2-mile in
10:20.62. That was the third fastest time in the
country this year. Same goes for the 9:32.22 that
Jones ran in the 3,000 at the famed Penn Relays
in April. All of that contributed to her being
named the Super Team’s Athlete of the Year.
Now it’s off to Georgetown University, where the
daughter of Susan Hunter-Jones and Dan Jones
of Harvard hopes to add to her legend.

DeCarteret then three-peated at the
