Quite fittingly, under the beautiful sunny skies on the last day the Norton Track & Field Seniors will ever compete on their home turf, they rose to the occasion. Today the team celebrated its veteran athletes and dedicated all their performances to
Katie Bradley, Mary Diestel, Meg Nichols, Julia Palin, Pat Bingel, Aiden Lerner, Ian Pereira, Sean Smith, & Alex Wisnaskas. The girls had a great win over a stacked Westwood team of over 100 athletes 83.50-52.50. The boys lost a tough one (that came down to the final two events) to a very solid and deep Wolverine boys team 64-72. The meet was followed by a brief celebration of our amazing seniors and their supportive parents!
