WATCH: Gavin Sherry Post Two Huge Records At CT State Meet Jun 11, 2021 West Hartford Conard High School's (CT) Gavin Sherry has been relatively quiet most of the season, but on Thursday at the CIAC State Open Outdoor Championships he had his big breakthrough race. The junior clocked a new US No. 1 time of 4:01.88 in the 1,600m. His mark bettered Archbishop Wood (PA) junior Gary Martin's time of 4:02.15 by a little less than a half a second. Martin earned his now-US No. 2 performance last weekend at the John Hay Pennsylvania Distance Festival. More importantly, Sherry's time shatters the previous Connecticut State record of 4:08.42 set by Brien McMahon High School's (CT) Eric Van Der Els in 2016.
