Today was a fantastic day for Holliston track, as the girls team finished 2nd with 76 points, and the boys 3rd with 72 points. Considering the girls were fourth and the boys fifth in the regular season standings, that is the definition of stepping it up! That also marks the best combined team finish in the TVL!
In 52 possible cases, 37 times a Holliston athlete either matched or exceeded their projected place! At the bottom of the post, you'll see two cases of kids coming out of nowhere to get a spot on the podium!
