2011-05-16T13:47:00.005-04:00

Norton just misses 4x400 relay. Tyler Anderson runs a 53.9 first leg!

Jon Sicard remains unbeated in the 200 meters in the season!

Tim Johansmeyer stays undefeated in the 400 meter!

The Lancer Boys fought a hard meet but unfortunately they lost the TVL title to a great competitor in the Hopkinton Hillers.

Hopkinton is always a tough team and this is the best season Norton High School Track and Field has ever had and they still have an incredible amount to be proud of. Going 8-1 in a league with the tough teams the TVL has is a huge accomplishment. Also, both Jon Sicard and Tim Johansmeyer stayed undefeated in their respective events.

The boys are also looking forward to a competitive post-season with the TVL League meet this Wednesday at Hopkinton and D4 States on the 27th!

Norton Girls Track Back In The Win Column

2011-05-05T23:10:00.004-04:00

Despite the track resembling a swimming pool and canopies taking flight, the girls team made a big statement on "Senior Day" defeating Millis 110 to 21.
On behalf of the team, I would like to extend a huge "thanks" to all the loyal parents, classmates, and fans for putting up with the weather and supporting the team.
Four seniors competed in their last home meet as a Lancer. We will miss all of you. Good luck Annie, Kajsa, Courtney, Alison, and Jill.

A TRIBUTE TO OUR SENIOR "LADY LANCERS"

Captain Annie Ledbetter competed in the 800 meter, Javelin, and the 4X400 relay. The relay team won and Annie took 3rd in the 800. Great Kid and a great captain. A pleasure to have known you, Annie.

Captain Kajsa Tenglin competed in the javelin and discus. She took first place in both events. Kajsa holds the school record for the javelin and remains undefeated in that event. You have done a great job competing for NHS but also as a great role model for the younger throwers coming up behind you. Good luck, Kajsa!

Courtney Williams has been one of the best sprinters in NHS history. She competed in the 100 meters, 200 meters, hurdles, long jump, & 4X100 relay. Today, Courtney won all her events. She remains undefeated in the 100 meters this season. It was great to coach you this year and we will miss you. Good Luck!

Alison Lynch is one of the most athletic members of the team. Alison competed in the 400 meter hurdles, 100 meter hurdles, long jump, and 4X400 relay. She qualified in the 100 meter hurdles and the long jump for the division 4 state meet. You contributed a lot to this team and we will miss that. Good Luck!

Captain Jill Wry competed for this team over the past several years but was unable to "suit up" this season because of an injury. There is no doubt that Jill would have been a big factor in the success of the team this year. Good luck, Jill!

Other notables today;
Krista Woodworth - 1st 400 meters.
Emma Ethier - 1st 100 meter hurdles.
Stacie Linfield - 1st in the 800 meters.
Rebekah Sargent - 1st in the high jump & 200 meters.
Brianna Arcaro - 1st in the shot

Norton Beats Bellingham Soundly......

2011-01-26T23:18:00.004-05:00

The Norton girls beat Bellingham for their first win of the season in a 65-20 routing. It was the same way on the boys side as they beat them 75-11. The Lancers lead from the first event (hurdles) and never looked back. It was a great win for both sides.

Courtney Williams led the Lady Lancers with 11 points winning the dash and scoring second in the shotput and the hurdles. Emma Ethier pulled in two first places winning the hurdles and the 600. Rebekah Sargent won the 300, placed 2nd in the high jump, and was a member of the 4x400 winning relay. Stacie Linfield (1000, 4x400) and Emily Hastings (shotput) both also pulled in first places in their respective events. Also, congrats to Liz Laverghetta on attaining a varsity letter!

On the boys side, no one is surprised that Captain Keegan Campbell led the charge. He placed in his routine fashion 1st in the high jump, 1000 meters, and was part of the 4x400. Captain Jon Sicard was right behind Keegan placing 1st in the dash and 4x400, and placing 2nd in the high jump. Kevin Rogers easily won his events in the mile and 4x400. Brian Acker took a first for the Lancers in the 600 and 4x400, and Brian Gannon did as well in the 300 and placed 3rd in the dash. Ben Donovan (hurdles) and Cam Eisnor (2 mile) also took first places for the Lancers. A special congrats to Mason Roulliard for making states in the 1000!!!

The Lancers next and final regular season meet is on Saturday, January 29th vs. Millis at Holliston at 3:30. It will be SENIOR DAY as it is the seniors last regular season competition!

D4 Relays - Two School Records Broken

2010-05-17T23:17:00.003-04:00

At the D4 State Relays this past Saturday, the girls' relay teams had some incredible performances. The 4x200 team (Ethier, Allard, Sharpe, Allen) broke away from the competition by placing 2nd overall and breaking the old school record at the same time. The sprint medley relay (Allen, Sargent, Ethier, A. Alioto) placed 11th out of 20 teams but broke the old school record and set the new standard to achieve. The 4x800 relay went into the meet with the motto "We Will Run Sub 3:00 Pace" and that they did! Each of these competitors had a split time below 3:00. This is a classic example of what one can do if they set their mind to it. The 4x100B team also did well by exceeding their seed time. I am very proud of all of these accomplishments. Nice job ladies!!
