The Bromfield girls track and field team successfully defended its Midland Wachusett C League title last Wednesday and Thursday at Lunenburg High School with a team total of 175.33 points. The runner-up at the girls meet was Oakmont, which finished with 140 points. The boys team tied for fifth with Tyngsboro with 45 points at the same meet, out of a field of seven teams.
The girls team had six individual wins as well as one winning relay. In the sprint events, sophomore Chloe Alfieri took first in both the 200-meter and the 400-meter. The Trojans took first in all four jumping events, with senior Amy Hunter finishing first in both the long jump and the triple jump, eighth-grader Sam Schoenberg winning in the high jump, and sophomore Arielle Sclar taking first in the pole vault. Senior Julia LeBlanc was the only Bromfield athlete to score in the throwing events with her first-place finish in the discus. The Bromfield girls 4×100-meter team also placed first at the league meet. The relay was run by junior Sarah Doben, senior Suzy Opalka, junior Natalie O’Leary, and Hunter.
Tough competition
The Bromfield boys team faced tough competition at the league championships. Senior Nick Steele was the only member of the boys team to win in the individual events, placing first in both the 2-mile and the 800-meter races. Junior Paul Chapman also scored in the 800-meter, finishing fifth in a field of 11 runners. In the field events, senior Beck Peterson placed in both the shot put and the discus, with third and second respectively. Senior Ben Neville and junior Jamie Barrett scored in the field events as well, with fourth-place finishes in the long jump and the pole vault.
Bromfield’s next meet is the Central/Western Division II Championships. The pentathlon and the girls pole vault will take place Thursday at Nashoba Regional High School, and the rest of the events will take place Saturday at Fitchburg State University.
