Hingham Track & Field Shines at Patriot League Meet

Hingham High School’s Track & Field teams made their mark at the Patriot League Meet this past weekend, with athletes turning in strong performances across the board and clinching several podium finishes in both individual and relay events.

On the boys’ side, standout efforts included a first-place finish in the 4x100 relay, where Sam Reffue, Graham Carlson, Colin McNamara, and Jack Brockney sprinted to victory. The team’s depth showed in distance events as well, with Aaron Roberts placing second in the mile, and the 4x800 relay squad—Brendan O’Neil, Adam Healy, Roberts, and Tommy Simpson—earning a second-place finish.

The 2-mile race saw Hingham secure two top-five spots with Gavin Anderson and Travis O’Neil finishing fourth and fifth, respectively. In field events, Tyler Grady earned second place in javelin, followed by strong throws from Zach Wong and Owen Benard, who placed fourth and fifth.

Other highlights from the boys included:

• Michael Blackwood (3rd, Frosh 100m)

• Nicki Harris (3rd, 400m Hurdles)

• Matt McCarthy, Colin McNamara, Nate Antoine, and JJ Johnson (3rd, 4x400 relay)

The girls' team also delivered a series of impressive performances, especially among underclassmen. Vivian School took second in the 200m, while Meghan Koenen placed second in the 400m hurdles and also helped lead the 4x400 relay team—alongside Kate Walsh, Maggie Towle, and Clare Lowther—to a second-place finish.

In mid-distance and field events, Clare Lowther took third in the 800m, and Reagan Leiphart and Zoe Schulze each placed fourth in the high jump and javelin, respectively. Sophia McDougall rounded out the top field finishes with fourth in discus.
