Duxbury’s new track venue is already making a name for itself, as it will host the Coaches Invitational Track Meet this Saturday starting at 10 a.m. This meet is the preliminaries to the State championships that are being held on June 5.

There are qualifying standards, so only the best athletes in the state will be attending this competition. Close to 900 athletes, 500 fans, and 200 coaches and officials will be on hand, so Duxbury residents are encouraged to come out and support this major event.

If track fans are interested in volunteering to help out with the running of the meet, contact Coach Harry Taylor at htaylor@duxbury.k12.com.

The Dragons will have a solid contingent of athletes competing as well. They include: Bobby Murphy (100m), Greg Auda (100m and 4x100m relay), Greg Bray (400m hurdles), Jon McKinley (mile), Mike Sullivan (high jump), Morgan Dwinell (200m), Adam Martin (400m), Lucas Wojciechowski (2-mile), Shane Mackey (110m hurdles), and Brett Sahlberg (long jump). Duxbury could have more competitors as others still have a chance to attain state qualifying performances.
