The MSTCA Frank Kelley took place on the fields of the Wrentham Developmental Center today. The meet was obviously cut in half with the change of date as many of the teams chose to stay at home. Despite the depleted numbers, the meet still had some fine performances.

Hall missed the MIAA action in 2015 with a late season injury, but he is certainly looking strong as we head into October action. Wakefield was finished second place as a team.
