Hingham High’s boys and girls track and field teams stepped onto their home track on May 5 against Duxbury carrying something heavier than spikes and batons after the recent passing of longtime head coach Fred Jewett.
The boys delivered a commanding 89–47 victory, toppling the Dragons with speed, depth and a surge of personal bests. The Harborwomen came up on the short end of a 104-32 decision against Duxbury but impressed with their resilience while posting PRs around every turn of the track oval.
In the sprints, Graham Carlson led the charge with a second-place finish in the 100m and a personal best in the 200m for second. Michael Blackwood added a PR for third in the 100m, while Jahbriel Johnson posted a PR in the 200m (third) before returning to win the 400m in another PR. John Hamilton followed with a PR of his own for third in the 400m.
The distance crew turned the meet into a showcase. Gavin Anderson and Travis O’Neil went 1–2 in the mile with matching personal bests of 4:45 and 4:47, then doubled back to do it again in the 2-mile, again with PRs. Freshman Elliot Sandifer added a PR for fourth in the mile. Tommy Simpson took first in the 800, with Brendan O’Neil placing third.
Over the hurdles, Nolan McManus ran a PR for second in the 110m hurdles, then came back to win the 400m with another PR, followed by Lundon Jackson, who also recorded a PR.
The relay team of Jack Griffiths, Jordan Johnson, Connor Gately and Josh Greisner captured first in the 4x100m.
In the field events, Owen Bernard won the discus, with Evan Benham earning a PR for fourth. Bernard and Zach Wong (PR) led a strong showing in shot put. Wong returned to win the javelin, with Alec Menuchi taking second.
The jumps added another layer of dominance. Hingham swept the long jump with Josh Greisner (PR), Jordan Johnson and Harrison Nastou (PR). Nastou also placed third in the high jump with a PR. Greisner won the triple jump with a PR, while Simpson added a third place finish.
The scoreboard leaned Duxbury, but the story leaned Hingham. This was a meet defined by response, and the girls answered with 51 personal bests across every event group.
Meghan Koenen led with a second-place finish in the 800m with a PR of 2:24.60 and added another second in the 400m hurdles with a season best of 1:08.81. Maddy Everett contributed PR performances in both the 400m hurdles and 200m.
Hingham swept the mile: Maggie Towle — first, 5:41.17; Ally Mildrum — second, 6:10.48; Sam Jesson — third, 6:29.21. In the 2-mile, Anne Kyriss ran a PR of 13:52.58 for second, closely followed by Emma McGathey in third at 13:54.58.
Kali Benham placed 2nd in the hurdles in 18.58 and added a third-place finish in the triple jump (28’2.25”). The hurdles group continued to progress with PRs from Lane Collins, Grace Whiting and Reagan Cassidy.
Both relays delivered season-best performances: 4x100m (PR 53.74): Paige Fabella, Martina Misdea, Ellie Truong and Lindsey McManus and the 4x400m (PR 4:38.54) team of Caroline MacDonald, Haley Niemi, Lily Walden and Maggie Towle.
In the field, Zoe Schulze won the javelin (105’7”) and placed second in the discus with a season best of 82’1”. The throws group added a strong set of PRs from Lauren Stone, Christina McGrath, Jordan Miller-Dempsey, Lillian Hamilton, Mary Zandbergen and Elizabeth Beaulieu.
Lindsey McManus cleared 4’6” for third in the high jump.

Owen Bernard placed third in shot put and second in discus.
For the girls, Zoe Schulze took fourth in the javelin, and Paige Fabella, Elliana Bellew, Meghan Koenen and Maggie Towle were second in the Shuttle Medley Relay.
Hingham ended the week with the Freshman/Sophomore Twilight Meet and a talented group of underclassmen competing May 8 at Pembroke High.
Maggie Towle placed fourth in the 800m with a huge PR of 2:23.06. Caroline MacDonald added an 800m PR (2:43.33). Paige Fabella sprinted to a PR of 27.81 in the 200m, and Allison Korn earned a PR in the hurdles (19.59). Grace Zimmerman and Dee Sweeney each cleared 4’4” in high jump, and the 4x100 relay closed the night with energy and teamwork, finishing in 55.40.
A highlight for the boys came from Travis O’Neil with an eighth-place and a PR time of 10:09 in the 2 mile.
This week was about carrying forward a legacy that still echoes in every stride, every handoff, every finish-line lean. The boys victory and the Harborwomen wave of PRs felt like two chapters of the same story — one of resilience, unity and a team refusing to take a step backward.
Hingham wraps the regular-season meet schedule at 4 p.m. Wednesday, May 13, at home against Marshfield High in a battle of undefeated 4-0 teams on the boys side.
The Patriot League championship meet is on Tuesday, May 19, at Marshfield High School.
