Alessi twins shine at Archbishop Williams

Canton’s Brooke and Taylor Alessi recently received their varsity letters and Central Catholic League All-Star plaques after another outstanding season with the Archbishop Williams girls tennis team.

The freshmen twins led the Bishops for the second year in a row — they lettered as eighth graders last season — and they finished with identical records of 17-4.

Both also qualified for the MIAA south individual tournament while guiding ABW to the semifinal round of the D3 south team tournament and a 15-5 overall record.

Canton’s MacSweeney bursts onto track scene

It was a banner spring for Canton’s Erica MacSweeney, the region’s newest track and field sensation. A figure skater since the age of 5, MacSweeney decided to join the Archbishop Williams girls outdoor track team a day before the season started and became an instant star, winning the MVP of the Catholic Central League Championship Meet with a first-place finish in the triple jump and a pair of second-place finishes in the long jump and 400-meter hurdles.

She went on to medal in both the triple jump (3rd) and long jump (8th) at the MIAA Division 4 Championships and broke the school records in the triple jump and 400 hurdles. She also qualified for All-States in the triple jump and placed 22nd overall against the best of the best in Massachusetts.
