A huge historic congratulations to the Norton boys track team who made history yesterday beating Hopkinton for the first time ever in the TVL 86-50. The boys had a total of 26 athletes place in a huge team effort. Norton is now 2-0 on the season beating both perennial TVL powerhouses Westwood & Hopkinton in week 1!
It was a back and forth, blow for blow battle for the first three quarters of the meet. Hopkinton would take one event, and Norton would take the next, and so forth. It wasn't until the sweeping of 2 throwing events came in and a near sweep of another with the shotput going 9-0, the javelin going 9-0, and the discus going 8-1 that sealed the deal.
This team has been working for years to get to this point, and it has shown with two performances like they had this week.
For the Lancers, Jon Plummer (1st 100 & 200 and 2nd high jump) and Ben Donovan (1st 110 High Hurdles, 2nd in triple & long jumps) led the way. Jack Keane (1st Shotput), returning D4 State Champ Joe Colley (1st javelin), and Paul Schleicher (1st Discus) took down the throws with some mammoth tosses (most top or top two in the league).
There were many new point-getters this meet as well. Brandon Durocher stepped up to take a third in the 400 high hurdles, after veteran Ramzi Bechara went down, and he also placed 2nd in the high hurdles. Kevin O'Leary was 2nd in the 100 meters and was part of the winning 4x100.
