SOUTH BURLINGTON, Vt. Eleanor Hinckley already stood a head taller than all the other girls in the final event of her high school track and field career.
Then, coming out of the final turn of the 200-meter dash, the Hartford High senior rolled back her shoulders, stretched to her full height and pulled away for her third win of the VPA Division II track and field championships at South Burlington High School.
Talk about saving your best for last.
“This is way better than I’d hoped,” said the Roanoke College-bound Hinckley, whose personal season-best time of 26.34 seconds left runner-up Barrett Freeman of Lamoille 1.36 seconds in arrears. “So much better than I could have imagined.”
