Haverhill’s Quezada family last Sunday completed the Boston Triathlon and Haverhill High School sports are preparing for fall with a new registration system.
Haverhill residents Yonatan Quezada and his 20-year-old son, Schoan, completed the Boston Triathlon sprint distance race last Sunday as a push-assist duo with a final time of 2:11:20. Their participation marked the first push-assist entry at the Boston Triathlon since 2019. As WHAV previously reported, after completing the Boston Marathon three times together, the father and son took on a new challenge that included a swim in Dorchester Bay followed by the bike and run portions of the race together.
Andrea Cox of Boxford, finished as the top woman with a time of 1:09:37.
The Haverhill High School fall sports seasons started this past Monday. Sports offered this fall include cheerleading, cross country, field hockey, football, golf, rowing, soccer, girls swim and dive, unified basketball and girls’ volleyball.
This year the Haverhill High School Athletic Department is using FinalForms.com, an online forms and data management service that all student athletes are required to use. All tryout, practice schedules and registration information can be found by following haverhillhillies.com.
Haverhill High asks that anyone with questions contact Athletic Director Thomas O’Brien by calling 978-374-5732 or emailing [email protected].
Sen. Barry R. Finegold, along with a working group on youth sports, released 11 recommendations to meet challenges facing youth sports today.
This working group set out to examine access and affordability of youth sports, safety standards, coaching requirements, equity across communities, facility availability and quality, getting private equity out of youth sports and barriers to participation such as cost and transportation. To address these challenges, the Working Group recommended a comprehensive statewide approach built around accountability, safety, education and equitable access.
Finegold said of the group’s goal, “A fair sports system opens doors for every child, not just those who can afford pay-play models.”
The report said “Collectively, these recommendations would modernize youth sports governance in Massachusetts without regulating the rules of individual sports.”
