Hello from Mansfield, MA - Home of the Hornets
Welcome to the home
page of the Boys Cross Country and
Track and Field Team. Mansfield has a strong tradition of sports
participation and sports excellence with the Cross Country and Track
and Field Programs a major part of that success. Mansfield is a
member of the MIAA, the governing body of high school sports here in
Massachusetts and a member of the Hockomock League, a ten member group
of high schools divided into two divisions (small schools and large
schools). Mansfield is part of the large school division that
includes Franklin High School, North Attleboro High School, Attleboro
High School and King Philip High School. The small school
division includes Canton High School, Stoughton High School, Oliver
Ames High School, Sharon High School and Foxboro High School. Beginning
with the 2010 Cross Country season, the large schools will schedule
meets with the other large schools in the league, while the small
schools will schedule meets with the other small schools. All
schools will come together at the end of the season for a League
Championship Meet.
About Mansfield
Mansfield is a town
located in the southeastern portion of Massachusetts, near Foxboro and
North Attleboro on one side and Easton and Sharon on the other
side. The town has a population of around 24,000 and the high
school, with a grade 9-12 population of 1414 students, is the second
largest school in the Hockomock League (Franklin is the largest).
There are close to 5,000 students going to the Mansfield public school
system. The athletic department at Mansfield High sponsors 25
sports for it students. The town has excellent rail service to
Boston and has two major interstate highways running through the town
(I-495 runs east to west and I-95 runs north to south). The Mansfield school system is
centrally located on East Street with the athletic fields surrounding
the high school and middle school complex. The outdoor
track is a 400 meter latex all weather track that was built
in 2003. The cross country home course is situated around the
high school and adjoining town fields. Last year one of its home
cross country meets was contested at Boderland Park, located at the
Easton/Sharon boundry line. That course is used for the Hockomock
League Cross Country Championship meet. Indoor track and field
meets are contested at Franklin High School, which has a flat floor 11
laps to the mile Mondo track surface. Championship meets,
including the Hockomock Indoor Championships and the Massachusetts
State Championships are held at the Reggie Lewis Center located in
Dorchester, MA.
Recent Accomplishments
All three seasons (Cross Country, Indoor Track and
Field and Outdoor Track and Field) provided lots of excitement for the
Mansfield Hornets. The cross country team won its
second straight all-state championship meet (division one) with a
dramatic ending put on by
Matt Hernon crawling across the finish line just in time to hang on for
a close win against Methuen and Lowell. Patrick McGowan capped a great season
by winning the all state championship race. He had the fastest
time of either division.
Indoors provided another super exciting finish to the season, as
Andover and Mansfield battled down to the wire for all-state team
honors. Mansfield's 4x400 relay team of Steve Gannon, Griffin
Robertson, Ryan Petrella and Kyle Kilduff upset the Andover foursome,
enabling Mansfield to win the meet by less than one point.
The outdoor season wasn't quite as dramatic, as the team could not
overcome some heavy graduations in the field events to counter Central
Catholic's across the board powerhouse program at the State Division
Two meet, finishing second with 63 points. The all state meet
proved to be overwhelming at Andover dominated the meet.
Mansfield finished tied for 12th with 17 points. However, some
outstanding individual and team performances were accomplished in both
meets with Patrick McGowan setting a school record in the mile,
sophomore Josh Lampron setting a school record in the 800 and the 4x100
and 4x400 relay teams also setting school records. Steve Gannon
and Kyle Kilduff capped off a great year with school records in the 200
and 400 meters, respectively. The 4x800 meter relay team of Josh
Lampron, Matt Hernon, Brendan Boyle and Patrick McGowan set a record of
7:53.82 at the New England Meet for a great finish to an outstanding
year of track and field.
