Track and field teams prepare for statewide division meet
As baseball, girls lacrosse, and tennis wrapped up competition in this year’s Central Mass. championships (see results at right), the boys and girls outdoor track and field teams joined the four other schools of the Midland-Wachusetts D League—Clinton, Littleton, Tyngsborough, and Gardner—for league championship meets at Clinton High School May 18.
In the competition, the girls placed second with 109.5 points. Sophomore Isabel Jackson won the 1-mile with a time of 5 minutes, 47.19 seconds, and junior Grace Beckett won the pole vault with a 10-foot jump. Littleton won the event with 208 points, but Bromfield athletes ran strong second and third finishes in many of the track events.
The boys placed third in the league championship with 114 points. Junior Colin Harte won the 100-meter dash with a time of 11.32 seconds.
Junior Jack Stahl won the 800-meter run with a time of 2:00.29, with Sam Secor right behind to win second place with a time of 2:00.72.
Junior Christopher Demetros won the pole vault, soaring 12 feet, 6 inches.
Littleton won the Mid-Wach championship with 180.5 points.
