FALLS VILLAGE — Housatonic Valley Regional High School has a new record in the girls 300-meter hurdles as of April 29.

Mia Dodge completed the event in 47.2 seconds, breaking a school record that stood for four decades

The feat occurred at Nystrom Park in Thomaston in a group track and field meet between HVRHS, Thomaston High School and Northwestern Regional High School.

The former HVRHS record holder in the 300m hurdles was Jill Sieller who ran 47.5 seconds in 1984.

A few days later, Kyle McCarron broke the school record in the 3200-meter race, another mark that stood for four decades.

McCarron’s time of 9:36.83 broke the previous record set by Randy Jasmine in 1985. He achieved the pace in Ridgefield at the “Fast Times at Ridgefield High” track meet Saturday, May 3.
