The track & field team faced its stiffest competition of the season this week, prevailing over the Inly School 64-56. The eight-point margin was the narrowest of the year for the Blue & Gold who have been using a balanced attack to score points across all events. The win improved the team’s record to 6-0 and set the table for the potential of the first undefeated season in program history when the team squares off against Carroll next week. Leading the way for Belmont Day are a program-record nine state qualifiers including four athletes who have each qualified in three events: Sam Leviton (1600m – 800m – 400m), Quinn Clark (1600m – 200m – 100m), Clive Sutton (shot put – 400m – 100m), and Aidan Tan (long jump – 200m – 100m). Joining this impressive group at the State Championships early next month are Alexander Meredith, Roudi Youssef, Violet Hancock, Pippa Ellner, and Simon Wright. It’s already been quite a season for Belmont Day track & field, but the best may yet to come.
