The track & field team traveled off campus this week for a tri-meet against Shady Hill & BB&N. The Blue & Gold jumped out to a fast start with notable performances in the field events. Eighth grade classmates Alexander Meredith (26’2”), Quinn Clark (24’3”), and Clive Sutton (21’3”) swept the shot put, while sixth grader Violet Hancock recorded an impressive 11’5” in the long jump. On the track, Belmont Day swept the 1600m with Sam Leviton (5:29), Quinn Clark (5:34), and Alexander Meredith (5:54) all coming in with sub 6:00 times. Other strong showings included second place finishes for Pippa Ellner (1:18) and Clive Sutton (1:10) in the 400m, a third place finish from Aidan Tan (30.39) in the 200m, and another first place finish from Sam Leviton (2:39) in the 800m. The team will look to continue their success next week on the road against Fessenden.
