“We are VERY small until this spring, which is very unnatural for us,” said head coach Chris Collins, “However we are talent-loaded.”
“We will not be competing to win a meet in the BSC (Bay State Conference), as we don’t have enough bodies to score those kinds of points, but we are competingĀ to prepare to try to beat many this spring,” said Collins.
Senior Finn Lawson won the 55-meter hurdles in 8.2 seconds.
Framingham hurdlers took the first five spots, with senior Sam Westervelt second and Colin Jones third.
