BYFIELD — The LHS boys’ track and field team went to Triton Regional on Wednesday, May 9 ready to compete. The Pioneers put together a great performance but just came up short to North Reading and Triton by identical 75-70 scores.
Lynnfield got first place in 11 events, however, the depth of the Vikings and Hornets was strong enough to gets past the Pioneers.
Sophomore Ben Kramich reached a league-best 11’6” in the pole vault for first place against both teams. Senior Kevin Travers had a 10’ vault which was second against Triton. Junior Ryan Bey’s 9’9” also qualified for states.
Senior Ryan Iapicca’s 4:56 in the mile was good for first place against the Hornets and second against the Vikings.
