On June 20, 2012, in Latest News, by The Somerville Times

Nicole Genard was selected to the Boston Globe and Boston Herald All-Scholastic team for her performances in the Javelin this season. The Globe will announce their selections on Sunday, June 24.

Genard had the three longest throws in Massachusetts this year:139’10”, 138’0, and 136’4″.   She won the Weston Twilight meet, the State Coaches Meet, and the Division 1 state meet.  She holds the SHS and GBL records in the javelin, along with setting the record at the Weston meet.

Genard will conclude her career at SHS with four indoor SHS records and five outdoor records. She was National Champion in the Emerging Elites Javelin in 2011. Nicole was also State Champion in the Heptathlon in 2011 as well.

According to Coach Charles O’Rourke, “Nicole Genard was the best all-around track athlete that I have seen in my 37 years of coaching.  She leaves SHS with nine school records and numerous state titles along with a National Championship. Nicole will continue her track career with a full scholarship at Northeastern University and there is no doubt in my mind that Nicole will be able to excel at the Division 1 collegiate level.”
