Boys Track Off to 2-0 Season Start
The boys defeated Beverly on Monday and took down Winthrop a week earlier. Meanwhile the girls are 1-1 on the season after defeating Winthrop in their first meet and losing to Beverly on Monday.
This information was submitted by Peter Bush, the boys track coach, and Joe Tenney, the girls track coach.
The coaching staff is pleased to be able to pick up a win against a very talented Beverly squad. After some key first place finishes in the running events, Trevor Whelan and Maleek Newsome just edged out their competitors to earn points in the mile and 200.
