Week #27 - Tandem Runner Competes in Elite National New Balance Meet

Tandem junior Hayes B has qualified to compete in the New Balance Nationals Indoor Track Invitational in Boston for a chance at a national title in the 3200M/2-mile race on Friday, March 13th (estimated race time may change but now listed as 11:38am). Hayes will be running against the top high schoolers from across the US in this most elite invitational high school meet in the county. His victory and incredible time of 9:25 at the Liberty Invitational qualified him for this exclusive event! Hayes currently holds 4 individual state titles. In Cross Country, he has won back-to-back individual titles at the VISAA Division III Championships at Panorama Farms. Additionally, Hayes won gold in the 2025 VISAA 3200 Meter Outdoor Track and Field Championships last spring and again in the 3200 Meter Indoor Track and Field Championships this winter! Hayes has served as captain for the Tandem Friends School cross country team, which has not only been Division III VISAA State Champions for three straight years, but last fall also beat the Division I & Division II winners, making them the fastest VISAA team in the state in all divisions. Go Hayes - can't wait to see you perform at this national level. The event should be livestreamed on the New Balance Nationals website.
