Eastport South Manor’s Tom Meehan continues to improve this season and he’s rewriting the history books while he’s at it.
Meehan broke the all-time record in the 1,600-meter race at the Small Schools Championship on Saturday at Suffolk County Community College in Brentwood, finishing first in 4:25, according to ESM head coach Brian Methven. The previous record and record-holder were not immediately known, though Methven said on Wednesday that Meehan now holds the new record.
Meehan, a junior, now advances to the Section XI Championships, otherwise known as the state qualifier, that will begin at 11 a.m. on Sunday back in Brentwood. He’s also been invited to run the mile at the Millrose Games on Saturday, February 16, at the Armory Track and Field Center in New York City.
