Wallingford Schools Win Class M Indoor Track Championships

WALLINGFORD, CT — It was a banner night for Wallingford at the CIAC Class M Indoor Track Championships at the Floyd Little Athletic Center in New Haven on Thursday with both high schools claiming championships.

Sheehan claimed the girls championship by edging Weston 68.75 to 63. It was the first-ever track state title for the Titans, who lost to Weston by a point-and-a-half last spring in the outdoor track season, according to the Record-Journal.

Sheehan Coach Dale Nosel told the New Haven Register that they used the loss in the outdoor season as motivation for the “meaningful win.”

Lyman Hall later won the boys title in dramatic fashion.

Chance DeCrescenzo vaulted the Trojans from fifth place to first in the team standings when he won the pole vault on the final event of the meet, the Record-Journal reported. He finished first at 11 feet, 6 inches in the event to lift Lyman Hall its first state title since 1995.

Lyman Hall finished first with 44 team points, while Jonathan Law was second with 42 and Ellington placed third with 35 points.

Sheehan picked up a win in the girls 4x200-meter relay when the team of Erin Brennan, Patrice Mansfield, Amanda Castaldi and Avery Winters finished with a time of 1:46.84.
