I think the main goal for all of us it to win the Division 3 meet at the end of the season. That is the meet that we train for all season, and we are working every day to get better and qualify as many athletes as possible.

Who are some big opponents/rivals? Why?

Norwood was definitely a big rival, but now that they left the Bay State Conference, we usually always have a competitive meet with Weymouth. On the divisional level, I think that North Attleboro and Pembroke are some of the teams that are always up at the podium as well.

Do you think the team will make tournament/post season? How far do you think you’ll make it?

I think that if we qualify a few guys in each event, and some of those guys score some points, we will have a really good chance to put ourselves in a good position to win the divisional meet. We want to qualify as many people as possible for this meet, so that we can have the highest chance to score points and win.
