Stoughton High Boys' and Girls' Track Splits Against Sharon

Stoughton boys’ track got a great effort from the entire team to defeat Sharon 73-58 in a dual meet Wednesday afternoon on the road, improving to 2-0 on the season.

Greg Boursiquot and Steffan Jackson went 1-2 in both hurdles races while Jackson won the high jump and Boursiqout won the long jump.

Captains Paul Solem (mile), Marlon Crome (800-meter), and Jordan Ricci (javelin) all won an event and captain Alex Lorius finished second in the high jump.

Other winners were Malachi Baugh (400-meter), Francis Ike (shotput) and James Brauneis (discus). Matt Mack (100-meter), Brandon Alves (shotput), Paul Comeau (2-mile) and Riordan Hoffman (discus) added second place finishes. Patrick Claude (long jump) and Aaron Mack (200-meter) finished third. 

The win was "very satisfying" as the Black Knights were missing distance ace Nick Green (strep throat) and top sprinters Marcus Middleton and Joe Bunce-Grenon (injury). The rest of the team scored in every key area.
