Stoughton High Boys' Indoor Track Wraps Up Season with Strong Performances at Championship Meets

Several members of the Stoughton High boys' indoor track team turned in impressive performances at the Division 2 Indoor Track Championship Meet and at the Hockomock League Indoor Track Championship Meet.

The Stoughton High boys' indoor track team wrapped up its season competing this past Sunday at the Division 2 Championship Meet and then coming back Tuesday night to compete in the rescheduled Hockomock Championship Meet. Both events were held at the Reggie Lewis Center.

The team faced significant challenges for the end of the season - The blizzard of 2013 severely impacted everyone's training and the earlier cancellation of the league meet played havoc with most athlete's mental focus.

At the D2 meet Malachi Baugh was the top placer, finishing 10th overall in the 55-meter dash (6.87 seconds).
