Triton 82, North Andover 63
Triton couldn't have started the season on a higher note. On the heels of a 9-1 season, the Vikings posted their first victory over North Andover since 2007. Cam Loughlin and Jake Stelline won two events each. Loughlin won the 2-mile (10:35) and mile (4:56). Stelline won the 110 hurdles (16.1) and long jump (20-0).
Peder Franson (high jump, 5-10), Steve Kreticos (shot put, 43-3), Alex Mandragouras (discus, 147-4), Ryan Clay (javelin, 161-7), John Mirandi (pole vault, 11-0), Matt Hill (100, 11.4), the 4x100 relay team (46.8) of Stelline, Mike Campbell, Franson and Hill, and the 4x400 relay team (3:57) of John Mills, Josh Lannon, Jake Eaton and Connor Barry also placed first.
"This is the best win the boys have had since 2007, when we went undefeated," Triton coach Joe Colbert said. "I challenged our seniors to step up and perform to their talent level, and they really did against a great North Andover team. Captain Jake Stelline, the CAL Large athlete of the year in the winter, was huge, and so was senior Cam Loughlin, with the toughest double in track, winning the 2 mile and mile. It was a great way to start off the season and a great way to end our rivalry with North Andover, finally beating them after four years."
