When Madison Park High School junior Ricardo Jaquite (right) won a national title Friday, the Cardinals outdoor track coach, Colin Rose, hoped it would act as an example that hard work does pay off.

“He had an excellent year,” Rose said of Jaquite, who joined the team this season after moving from Portugal. “His training was very consistent. Every day he worked hard, so in turn, his meets were very consistent.”

Jaquite won the triple jump with a leap of 49 feet, 10 inches at the 2009 Nike Outdoor Nationals in Greensboro, N.C. last week –- an inch shorter than the leap that placed him second in the Nike Indoor Nationals.

“I would say his national jump wasn’t his best jump of the year, and it wasn’t his best meet of the year, but because he put in his work he was able to beat the field because of his consistency,” Rose said.

The third-year track coach said the team practices five days per week, with meets usually falling on weekends, and over the course of the year Jaquite’s jump has improved by about 2 feet.

“Kids who have talent, people don’t realize how much work they put in,” Rose said. “When you get to nationals everyone is talented, the difference between winning and losing is how much work you put in.”

He added that the national title is a huge boost for Madison Park and hopes it sets an example for other athletes in Boston.

“It’s huge for the school,” he said. “It shows that, you know, we do have athletes in Boston Public Schools, and when you work hard things happen. It’d be one thing if he was one of these athletes that was naturally talented and never worked hard…[Jaquite's accomplishments] can inspire other kids to do the same.”

The first major meet of the spring outdoor track season takes place Saturday with the running of the MSTCA State Coaches Invitational. The girls' meet will be held at Somerville's Dillboy Field while the boys head to Fall River and Durfee High School. Field events begin at 9:30 a.m. Running events at 10 a.m.

The Globe's Shawn Medeiros relays the following:

This past weekend at the Penn Relays, Madison Park's Ricardo Jaquite won the high school boys' triple jump championship. Jaquite jumped 49 feet, 1 1/2 inches edging out Jeffrey Artis (49-1) from Western Branch in Chesapeake, Va. There were 19 competitors total in the event. Jaquite's personal best is 49-11, which came at the Nike Indoor Nationals this past indoor season.

BC High senior Corey Thomas opened the MIAA All-State track meet by clearing 6-11 to win the high jump in a meet record. After a brief rest, he tried 7-1 but missed. Later he won the 55-hurdles in 7.51 seconds. Thomas jumped 7-0.5 on Feb. 1 at the State Coaches Elite Meet.

For those looking to attend this winter's City Championships, here's a list of dates for this year's festivities:

• Indoor track: Feb. 9-10, 3 p.m. at the Reggie Lewis Center
• Swimming: Feb. 10, 3 p.m.
• Girls' basketball: Semifinals on Feb. 18, 4 and 5:30 p.m. at Madison Park; Final on Feb. 20, 5 p.m.
• Boys' basketball: Semifinals on Feb. 19, 4 and 5:30 p.m. at Madison Park; Final on Feb. 20, 6:30 p.m.

BC High senior CoreyThomas broke Greg Gonsalves's 28-year-old meet record of 7 feet, 1/4 inches in the high jump by clearing 7- 1/2 to start the competition at the Reggie Lewis Center Sunday.

Thomas was a half-inch short on his first attempt at the record. On his second, his legs knocked the bar off. But on his final try, Thomas cleared the bar and landed clean on the blue cushion below. Thomas shot his left fist in the air victoriously.

Globe photographer Jay Connor captured a nice sequence of one of Thomas's failed leaps, but check out the video above to marvel at the majesty of his leap. As the Globe's Dan Shaughnessy wrote in Wednesday's Globe: Imagine. Thomas is only 6 feet tall and he can jump over Kevin Garnett.

BC High's Corey Thomas (above, center) turned the Massachusetts State Track Coaches Association Elite meet into his own personal showcase by winning the 55-meter hurdles and shattering a 28-year-old meet record by clearing 7 feet, 1/4 inches in winning the high jump.

The Massachusetts Interscholastic Athletic Association Board of Directors was given an update this afternoon by attorney Robert Fraser regarding the organization's ongoing dispute with Mansfield High School and its football coach Mike Redding.

The purpose of the meeting, held in executive session, was to update board members as well as answer any questions they had.

A subcommittee of the board had said that Mansfield must punish Redding for taking five days to inform the association of the use of an ineligible player in two games this fall. In response, Mansfield's attorneys sent a letter to the MIAA late last week regarding the subcommittee's decision and asking for clarification. Because yesterday's discussion was held in executive session, the specifics of Fraser's update were unknown.

In other news, the board discussed a number of topics:

• Preliminary fall tournament review showed attendance at all tournaments was up approximately 6,000 fans over the previous year and that tournament net was iup approximately $70,000.
• Topics for the April 3 association meeting were discussed. Among the issues discussed were league realignment, alcohol abuse by students, the need for consistent standards for deciding on whether to approve cooperative teams, and the potential budget cuts that schools across the state are expecting.

In other school news today, Gatorade and ESPN RISE Magazine, announced that Mike Moverman of Oliver Ames is the 2008-09 Gatorade Massachusetts Boys Cross Country Runner of the Year. Moverman is the first Gatorade Massachusetts Boys Cross Country Runner of the Year to be chosen from Oliver Ames High School. The award recognizes not only outstanding athletic excellence, but also high standards of academic achievement and exemplary character demonstrated on and off the racecourse. Moverman is now a finalist for the prestigious Gatorade National Boys Cross Country Runner of the Year award to be announced in February.

The 5-foot-9 senior won the Division 2 state meet with a time of 16:04.3, leading the Tigers to a second-place finish as a team this past season. The 2008 Boston Globe Runner of the Year, Moverman recorded the fastest time of the season at Franklin Park in Boston, winning the Bay State Invitational with a time of 15:48. Moverman finished sixth at the Foot Locker Northeast Regional in 15:48 and placed 19th at the national Foot Locker Cross Country Championships in 15:54.

Bromfield's Emily Jones has been named the 2008 Gatorade Massachusetts girls' cross-country runner of the year.

Emily Jones (Globe File Photo)

The Georgetown-bound senior won her third consecutive Division 2 title this past fall, leading the Trojans to a fourth-place finish overall. After winning the Foot Locker Cross-Country Northeast Regional championship, she placed 13th overall in the national event.

“We knew that even as a freshman, she was going to be a talent,” said Steve Sawyer, head coach of rival Hamilton-Wenham High. “She hasn’t let anyone down. We’ve all been fortunate to watch her develop. She’s a strong runner and not afraid to push herself.”

Rarely does the 144th finisher in the boys' Division 1 all-state cross-country finals end up as the top headline from the season's top meet, but allow our friends at the Worcester Telegram & Gazette to explain...

It’s one of the most courageous, heart-wrenching finishes you’ll see at any level of sports, from pee-wees to professionals.

Need a little inspiration today? Check out the photos and video of St. John’s High runner Ben Perron and his agonizing final 50 meters or so at Saturday’s State Cross Country Championships in Boston.

Suffering from what was later determined to be severe dehydration, the 16-year-old junior from Southboro fell several times while coming down the home stretch of the 5-kilometer Franklin Park course, crawling on all fours, trying to get up, falling flat on his face, and eventually rolling across the finish line while emotional fans cried, cheered and exhorted him on.

For the record, Perron wound up 144th out of 146 finishers. He was believed to be somewhere in the top 30, and leading the Pioneers’ contingent, before his muscles began failing him. He was seen by his sister grabbing the back of his thighs as he rounded the final turn heading into the home straightaway, and he fell for the first time shortly after that with about 60 meters to go.

What followed was an emotional, gutsy performance that had to be seen to be believed. After stumbling and falling, Perron rolled over and returned shakily to his feet, only to fall backward as though he were drunk. Officials ran over and checked on him from several feet away.

“I don’t remember it perfectly, but I pretty much remember most of it,” said Perron, who continued to crawl on his hands and knees, almost tipping over at one point. “I definitely was conscious the whole time. I knew what was going on.

“I was surprised that I couldn’t even stand up. I kept moving — there wasn’t really a choice. I just kept working.”

Teammate Cam Tieuli, a St. John’s captain, tried to grab his arm and help him up as he came by, but quickly stopped, realizing any assistance would result in disqualification. Another teammate, Dan Zawalich, patted Perron on the back as he passed by to offer encouragement. Perron was still probably 20 meters from the finish line.

As the 2008 fall season goes into full swing, we've invited a handful of local standouts to write about their seasons on our Player Diaries blog.

I'll allow our contributors to introduce themselves:

Abbie Brown, Westwood, Field hockey

So, two years ago, Westwood field hockey wasn't the best team in the state, nor are we now, but we are working our way to tournament again. Last season, we went to the tournament for the first time in nine years which was a big accomplishment for the us. This year we hope to do the same thing and get further than last year. As of right now, the Westwood Wolverines field hockey team is 2-0 from beating Stoughton and Scituate in two nonleague matchups. We still have a long way to go until we make the tourney, but our team is willing to do whatever it is to make it again.

I play field hockey and lacrosse, and run winter track. This past spring my team was the 2008 Division 1 girls' lacrosse state champions.

Mike Savery, Hingham, soccer

My name is Mike Savery and I play midfield for the Hingham boys' soccer team. We were 6-6-6 last year, making the playoffs for the ninth straight time under our coach Ken Carlin. However, our worst season under coach Carlin ended just as horribly, losing to Oliver Ames in the play-in round, 1-0. This year, however, will be much different. We are returning eight starters, and have 15 senior players, myself included. I will be looking to split some time this year on the right side, as we have yet to figure out the winning formation. Along with playing on the soccer team, I am a four year varsity skier, two of those years as captain.

Kara Dunford, Notre Dame Academy, cross country

I'm at senior at Notre Dame Academy in Hingham. I'm running cross country in the fall for the first time. Besides cross country, I am one of the captains of the indoor and outdoor
track teams. I am also editor-in-chief of the school newspaper and I am interested in pursuing a career in Journalism in the future.

Check back on our Player Diaries page for much more from this trio as the season goes on. If you're interested in writing for us, drop us an email with your name, school, sport, and a quick note on why you'd like to contribute.

We're dusting off our Player Diaries blog for the fall season and we're looking for athletes who might be interested in chronicling their seasons on Boston.com.

Last fall, Mansfield football standout Mike McPherson and Ursuline volleyball All-Scholastic Caitlin Burchill kept us updated on their exciting seasons. Now we want you to tell us all about your fall season.

Interested? Drop us an email with your name, sport you play, and a brief bio about yourself. Remember, you don't have to be the team superstar. Heck, if you're the stats keeper and you want to tell the world about how your team is doing, we want you, too.

We'll pick a handful of our favorites to handle the Player Diaries this fall. Hey, it doesn't look bad on a college resume, either.

Charlestown's Omar Aden, Bromfield's Emily Jones, and Ashland's Nicole D'Argento have earned Massachusetts Gatorade Player of the Year honors for their respective sports.

Aden won for boy's track, Jones for girls' track, and D'Argento for softball. They join Acton-Boxboro's Scott Weismann as those honored for the 2008 spring season.

Here's a bit on each athlete from the press releases distributed by the Gatorade folks:

Omar Aden

The senior distance runner won the mile at the MIAA All-State Outdoor Track and Field Championships with a time of 4:13.83, which ranked as the nation's No. 7 scholastic performance in 2008 at the time of his selection and helped the Townies to the state championship. An Indoor Track All-Scholastic selection as named by The Boston Globe, Aden, who placed fourth in the mile at the National Indoor Scholastic Championships, captured second place in the 1,600-meter run at the New England Outdoor Track and Field Championships in 4:13.19.

Emily Jones

The junior distance runner ran the 2-mile race at the Central Region Meet in 10:27.03, the fastest time in the nation at the time of her selection. A week later, Jones ran the 2-mile in 10:33.30 to win the All-State Meet with the fourth-fastest time in the nation. Also the 2007-08 Gatorade Massachusetts Girls Cross Country Runner of the Year, Jones ran the mile race in 4:59.15 this spring, which ranked as the nation's No. 22 performance in the mile this spring at the time of her selection, and she placed second in the 3,000 meters at the Penn Relays Carnival.

Nicole D'Argento

The junior pitcher started 22-0 with a 0.28 ERA and 288 strikeouts in 147.2 innings this season, leading the Clockers to a 26-0 record entering the Division 2 state semifinals scheduled for June 11. A returning All-Scholastic selection as named by The Boston Globe, D'Argento had produced a .605 batting average, 35 RBI, 33 runs scored and six home runs at the time of her selection. The two-time Tri-Valley League Player of the Year, she concluded her sophomore season of 2007 with a 9-0 record and a 0.00 ERA.
