The Harbormen will be back on the track Wednesday, April 29 against Whitman-Hanson for their first home meet of the season.
Hingham High track and field rose to the moment, and they owned it.
In a meet that said everything about this program, the girls powered past Silver Lake 75–61 nearly matching the boys score of 76-60 for a shared victorious moment across the program.

You could feel it all afternoon; energy, depth, and a real belief in each other. The Harborwomen ran, jumped, and threw for 52 personal bests. Every event. Every point earned.

The 200m was also a full sweep with Elliana Bellew leading, and Lila Brockney and Haley Nieme right behind. The 4x400 closed the meet in style as Caroline MacDonald, Caroline Newth, Maddie Everett, and Maggie Towle took first.
