FITCHBURG – The Westfield High School boys’ 4×100 relay team keeps running, and running, and running on the boys’ track and field circuit.
Westfield’s team of Jordino Oquando, Max Cravet, Alex Martin, and Charlie Newman continued its postseason dominance, winning the 4×100 relay for the second straight week. The Bombers won the race in 43.76, edging out Wachusett (44.14) at Monday’s Central/West Division 1 meet at Fitchburg State University.
It was a bit of improvement for Westfield’s 4×100 relay team, which won last week’s divisional with a time of 44.08.
