This Friday night the Hillers kicked off their winter track season at the Reggie Lewis Track & Athletic Center in Boston. Both teams defeated Holliston; the girls won comfortably 56-38, while the boys made it more interesting, winning 52-43.

In her first season, Junior Loryn Canty shined with a blistering 7.68 finish in the 55 meter dash. This editor noted that Canty posted this time without the assistance of starting blocks and with training shoes on. Fans can expect to see her times improve throughout the year.

By the end of the night the Hopkinton girls had already secured their victory, but for the boys the outcome remained uncertain. It would be decided by the last event of the evening, the 4×400. The Hopkinton team was comprised of Russell Perryman, Owen Fitzpatrick, Ruben Noroian, and Luke Boothroyd, and they faced an equally strong Holliston 4×400 team.
