Hingham sweeps in ‘Track Town’
Apr 30, 2012
PEMBROKE — You can’t dub your town “Track Town U.S.A.” and not come up with a stellar win when you host a statewide meet. That was Pembroke coach Greg Zopatti’s feeling at yesterday’s Division 3 Coaches Relays. The Titans turned to their distance crew of Christian Stafford, Billy Stafford, Joe Vercollone and Wesley Gallagher to give Pembroke a show in middle-distance running in front of its home crowd. Gallagher ran the anchor leg of the 4 x 800 in 1 minute, 59.6 seconds to give the Titans a new meet record of 8:00.98. The time broke the long-standing 8:05.20 mark set by Canton in 1981. Less than an hour later, the same four runners were at it once again, this time surging away from the distance medley field for a 10:40.59 win, more than 15 seconds in front of runner-up Wakefield (10:56.09).
