Providence College To Honor Kathy Finn-Hill

on January 23 At Friar Women's Basketball Game

 

Dec. 11, 2009

 

PROVIDENCE, R.I. - It was announced today, that on January 23, 2010, the Providence College Department of Athletics will hold a jersey retirement ceremony for the late Helen Bert and Kathy Finn Hill ‘84. Bert was a former coordinator of women’s athletics and an associate athletic director at Providence College from 1971 to 1988. Hill played for the Friar women’s basketball team from 1980-84 and is the only player in program history to be named BIG EAST Player of the Year. Bert and Hill are the first females to have their jerseys retired by the College.

    The day’s events will begin at 10:00 a.m. with the annual Women’s Basketball Alumni Game, to be held at Alumni Hall/Mullaney Gymnasium. The game is expected to last until 11:00 a.m. A jersey retirement luncheon is scheduled from Noon to 1:45 p.m. at ‘64 Hall on the second floor of the Slavin Center.

    The Providence College women’s basketball team will take on nationally-ranked Pittsburgh at 2:00 p.m. The game will be televised live as part of the BIG EAST Game of the Week package on BETV (check local listings). The jerseys of Bert and Hill will be retired at halftime of the Providence vs. Pittsburgh game. Additionally, the College also will honor the 20th Anniversary of the 1990 BIG EAST Championship Team.

    Later that evening, the Providence men’s basketball team will host USF in BIG EAST Conference action at the Dunkin’ Donuts Center. Hill and Bert will be recognized at halftime.

     “It is going to be a wonderful day of events here at Providence College,” Athletics Director Bob Driscoll said. “It will be a proud day for our women’s basketball team and fans, as we honor two individuals who have provided a solid foundation for our storied program."

     Tickets to the jersey retirement celebration are $20 per person and children 12-and-under are $10. This price includes a ticket to the women’s basketball game. All Providence College women’s basketball alumnae will receive a complimentary ticket to the luncheon, women’s game and men’s game.

Mansfield girls dethrone Sharon

GYMNASTICS: Mansfield girls dethrone Sharon

STOUGHTON - Mansfield High girls' gymnastics coach Nicole Longo had a bag full of mixed emotions as her Hornets took on perennial Hockomock League champion Sharon and Oliver Ames in a triangular meet Friday night.

On one hand her unbeaten Hornets were on the cusp of their first-ever outright league title, coming into the meet with a 9-0 league mark. On the other hand was her protege from her team at Arnold's Gymnastics Academy, Sharon's Sami Kaplan.

I guess you could say things kind of worked out and gave Longo the best of both worlds - Mansfield took home the crown despite an outstanding individual effort by Kaplan.

"I wasn't real happy seeing her on the other team," noted Longo as Kaplan finished first in three of the four events and was tops all-around with a score of 36.9.

But it was the consistency up and down the Hornets' lineup that forced the Eagles to give up their crown for the first time in 10 years. Sophomore Michelle Ivanoski - a teammate of Kaplan's at Arnold's - was second in every event, and second all-around (36.5), and freshman Danielle Dousa tied Kaplan for first in the balance beam and grabbed a third-place finish in the uneven bars, but it was the contributions of seniors Casey Burns and Alyssa Ayalla, junior Amy Sterling and sophomore Ali Neenan that allowed Mansfield to overcome the Eagles by over five points and OA by 16.3.


Mansfield tied Sharon for the top spot last year.

The Hornets will now have to defend their dual meet title at the Hockomock League Championship Meet on Saturday, Feb. 6 at 6 p.m. at Arnold's Gymnastics Academy in Mansfield.

Mansfield 140.75, Sharon 134.9, Oliver Ames 124.45: Vault 1-Valerie Cohen (OA), 2-Michelle Ivanoski (M), 3-Sami Kaplan (S), 9.2; Uneven bars 1-Kaplan (S), 2-Ivanoski (M), 3-Danielle Dousa (M), 9.3; Balance beam 1-(tie) Kaplan, Dousa, 2-Ivanoski (M), 3-Cohen (OA), 9.2; Floor exercise 1-Kaplan (S), 2-Ivanoski (M), 3-Cohen (OA), 9.5; All-around 1-Kaplan (S) 36.9, 2-Ivanoski (M), 36.5, 3-Cohen (OA) 35.5.

Picking up the pace

BY PETER GOBIS SUN CHRONICLE STAFF

TUESDAY DECEMBER 8, 2009

Patrick McGowan is the kind of kid that you root for.

At 125 pounds or so, he was absorbing plenty of punishment at football tryouts.

He couldn't hit a curveball.

He just didn't have that saviour faire on the wrestling mat.

And at 5-foot-9, he wasn't all that well equipped to become a basketball player.  

However, McGowan could always run. He could always get his feet to fly out from under him, to move him along at a brisk rate. "I found that running was the one sport that I could succeed in, that I could get results - I kind of liked it, it was fun, I kept saying to myself, this is cool."

Well McGowan is the cool ruler of cross country in the Commonwealth.

He won the Hockomock League Championship Meet title at Borderlands Park over in Easton.

McGowan won the MIAA Division 2 Championship Meet title at Franklin Park in Boston.

He won the MIAA State Championship Meet title in Northfield.

And at the NIKE Northeast Regional Meet at Wappinger Falls in upstate New York, McGowan came across the finish line in 11th place among the elite field.

"I don't look to break a course record, I just race to win," said the Mansfield High School senior, who separated himself from the crowd this fall, burst away from the pack of runners at the two-mile mark and led the Hornets to the Hockomock League title, the Division 2 title, the MIAA State Meet title.

Not bad for a kid who dislocated his fibula and strained his Achilles tendon last fall to the point where he could barely walk; a kid who had to keep reminding himself that the sacrifices, the pain, the misery of piling up all those base miles would one day be rewarded.

"My thing is to have control of my races, to stay relaxed," said McGowan, who had an inclination that his senior cross country season could become something special during the spring track season, as a junior. Back in June, he finished fourth in the two mile run at the MIAA State Meet and second at the New England Meet.

"That was the turning point, I had done well," said McGowan. "I remember my freshman year, in the spring when I first started running that I had no idea how to pace myself. After I beat all those kids in the spring, I said to myself that it'd be nice to be a state champ."

At the Hockomock League Meet, McGowan clocked a then personal-best time of 16:11 on a 3.1 mile course, having a seven-second margin of victory over teammate Brendan Boyle and a 10-second margin over another Hornet, third-place finisher Shayne Collins.

At the Division 2 Meet, McGowan secured the first "major" win of his career, covering the course at a field-best, personal-best 16:02 - being chased by Top 10 teammates Boyle and Collins, helping Mansfield produce its fewest point (58) total ever, helping the Hornets win their fourth title over the past five seasons.

At the State Meet, McGowan plugged along on the hilly course at a championship pace of 16:06, once again being pushed by Top 10 teammates, Boyle and Collins, helping the Hornets take home their second straight title.

"My coach's (Julie Collins) plan was for me to save myself for the big races," said McGowan, who fulfilled the strategy. "During the dual meets, we didn't go all out. At the Hockomock Meet, I ran with the pack for two miles. At Franklin Park (the first race during a monsoon-like rain), I knew the frontrunners, so I ran a relaxed first mile, stayed with the frontrunners at the two mile mark and then beat (Arlington's Anthony) Taylor.

"At Northfield, I had run the Bay State Invitational Meet there earlier in the season. I knew the course, I was confident on it. Some kids go out hard on that (hilly) course, so I just chilled for the first mile. I knew that I had done all the (preparatory) work, so the last mile was just me, Miller and Jarrod Ruddy of Methuen."

And once again McGowan was "The Man," the ruler of the cross country paths.

Last year at this time, McGowan was recovering. He had taken second place to OA's Mark Moverman at the Hockomock League Meet, had finished 13th at the MIAA State Meet. But his left leg didn't feel right. "My hamstring was incredibly tight, my fibula had shifted and locked so that I couldn't absorb any impact," said McGowan. So it was therapy and massages, "it was kind of weird because my foot couldn't move outward."

In truth, McGowan didn't run at all last winter. "I limited my running," he said, non-casually mentioning that his summer of 2009 schedule was similarly stunted after contacting Lyme Disease. "Again, I didn't do much for three or four weeks."

McGowan's original path for athletic success was going to be as a football player and a wrestler. "Somehow, I just fit in with those (track) guys better, the upper classmen when I was a freshman said that I was good - I had run a 5:01 mile."

Some strength work, some speed work, 40-60 miles a week, "I never focus on a time, I don't look to break a course record," he continued. McGowan's focus has been on winning, not on the clock. "Like my focus this year was to win the state championship, for us to win as a team. I have to congratulate my teammates, they drag me along."

McGowan, who intends to major in graphic illustration at either Syracuse, UMass-Amherst or La Salle, painted his championship picture because of his endeavors in other sports, because of his coaches, because of who he was running alongside with in practice.

"My thinking has been to just win at all cost," said McGowan. "Growing up as a kid, I played other sports, but I was terrible at them. Last winter, I didn't think of myself as a good runner, I almost gave up on myself. I reminded myself that I'm a good runner, to tell myself t hat I'm out there to win, I'm out there not to quit."

And to become a champion.
