Coming off his first-place finish in the state Division 2 meet a week earlier, Hopkinton High School senior Sean Golembiewski won the 55-meter hurdles with a time of 7.60 seconds at the state Meet of Champions on Saturday at the Reggie Lewis Track and Athletic Center in Boston.

“He didn’t even get a great start, but he finished very strong and won comfortably,” HHS coach Jean Cann said of Golembiewski, noting that he is believed to be Hopkinton’s first male champion in the competition formerly known as the all-state meet.

Senior Luke Boothroyd almost made it two champions for the Hillers as he finished second in the 600, rallying in the homestretch to finish in 1:23.38. He won the event at the Division 2 meet, setting a school record with a time of 1:22.8.

Also competing for Hopkinton on Saturday was junior Drew Bialobrzeski, who finished second to Golembiewski in the 55 hurdles in the Division 2 meet.

Additionally, the boys 4×400 relay team of Boothroyd, Paul Litscher, Ruben Noroian and Golembiewski put together a school-record performance (3:26.69) and finished second at the Meet of Champions, one week after taking third at the Division 2 meet.

“Every single one of them ran phenomenal times and the handoffs were great,” Cann said. “They navigated the traffic well, even when one of the teams lost the baton.”

Cann also noted that while team standings are not kept, Hopkinton would have finished third behind Newton North and Lexington.

“They were ahead of a lot of big schools that beat them in the divisional meet,” Cann said.

Golembiewski, who also finished third in the high jump at the Division 2 meet, is slated to participate in the state pentathlon meet on Wednesday. Boothroyd will run in the New England Championships next weekend.

On the girls side, Elyse Srodawa earned a medal by finishing eighth in the 2-mile at the Meet of Champions.

“Elyse was with the leaders for a good part, then she fell off but finished strong, setting a personal best with a time of 11:16, which is really impressive for a sophomore,” Cann said.

Srodawa was second in the event at the Division 2 meet.

Also at the Meet of Champions, senior Autumn Tumbleton competed in the 2-mile as well, and junior Loryn Canty just missed reaching the finals in the shot put.
