Norton Boys Lose Heartbreaker to TVL Foe Hopkinton; O'Leary Breaks Another School Record!

 Senior Captain Danny Lenihan anchors the 4x400 with a 53 to help the team
 post a league best time this season!
 Sophomore Beast Mike Tierney is 3rd leg of that league best 4x400!
Second heat of the 100 meters includes Tim Casagni & Matt Butler!

     The Norton boys track team lost a heartbreaker today 62-74 to TVL foe the Hopkinton Hillers.  They battled the entire day.  The Lancer boys hurt themselves early on in the 4x100 team DQ'ed on a zone infraction and did not score, although they beat the Hillers 4x100 by almost a full second.  That 10 point swing helped the Hillers as they cruised through the high jump and 2 mile events while Norton placed 1st and second in both the 400 meters and the discus.  Norton moves to 2-1 on the season.

Kevin O'Leary not only broke his own school record in the javelin by over 4 feet, he is the TVL league leader and has one of the best throws in Massachusetts this year with a voluminous throw of 172 feet! Congrats to you Kevin. 

The Norton boys 4x400 team also beat Hopkinton and posted a league leading phenomenal time of 3:37.2.  Those team members are: Mason Rouillard, Max Marcotte, Mike Tierney, & Danny Lenihan.
