Housatonic hosts Lakeview to start track season

FALLS VILLAGE — Housatonic Valley Regional High School track and field began the season with a home meet against Lakeview High School Tuesday, April 22.

The rivalry meet produced riveting races including a showdown between seniors Kyle McCarron and Ben Schildgen in the 1600-meter race. The star runners traded the lead several times but McCarron was in front when it counted, winning for HVRHS in a time of 4:29.4, a split second ahead of Ben Schildgen’s 4:29.8.

The boys 300m hurdles came down to the wire too, with Lakeview’s Max Guma defeating HVRHS’s Patrick Money by one-tenth of a second.

Lakeview won overall. The girls team score was LHS 100 - 37 HVRHS and the boys team score was LHS 82.5 - 61.5 HVRHS.

Kent School sent a number of runners to the meet as well. The Lions do not have a school team, but the athletes participated in the spirit of competition. They were not officially scored.
