Nearly forty students are competing on Thetford Academy’s indoor track and field team, which started its season with a bang last weekend. Competing at the University of Vermont against dozens of other Vermont schools, the boys team finished 2nd, behind only track powerhouse Essex.
Uly Junker-Boyce ’25 set a new D-II state record in the 55 meter dash, and Ava Hayden ’25 and Brady Sloop ’25 both set new school records in the 1000. The boys team, which finished second at the Vermont state championships last year, is poised to make a run for the title this year, a task that is made particularly impressive insofar as indoor track is the only sport in which TA competes at the D-II level.
TA’s indoor track and field athletes have two meets coming up this weekend, first on Saturday at Norwich, followed by UVM on Sunday, December 22.
