The track & field team recorded a program-high six wins this spring, finishing their season with an impressive 6-2 record in dual meets. The team brought a balanced attack to every meet, finding a way to play to their athletes’ strengths and score points in almost every event. Sam Leviton and Ariel Duan paced the team in the distance events. Leviton was flirting with the 5:00/mile mark all season and Duan improved steadily throughout the season. Zach Kromah was unstoppable in the field events, excelling at both the long jump and shot put, often taking home first place in both. Newcomer Jun Murakami provided some unexpected pop in the lineup and had a breakout season in the 50m and the 4x200m relay. Rounding out the Blue & Gold’s balanced attack was eighth grade classmates McKenna Daley and Emme Taylor who finished their careers on high notes with some impressive finishes in sprints and middle-distance events this spring. Collectively, the track & field squad competed hard in their individual events, but maintained a team-first focus this spring, which allowed them to maximize their talent and settle firmly at the top of the Belmont Day record books.
