By Mike BergerHigh placements by Jonathan Chery, Deyontai Dennis and Kyle Downing helped propel the CHS boys indoor track team to two division wins last week against Sharon and North Attleboro. The boys team defeated the Eagles 74-7 and edged the Red Rocketeers 43-39 in the virtually held meets.
The girls team went 1-1 against the same two opponents, dominating Sharon 67.5-14.5 but falling to North Attleboro 44-37.
In the boys’ competition, Chery was instrumental in the sprints, winning both the 100m and 200m against both squads while also anchoring the winning 4×100 relay along with Leo Fabrizio, Matt Quan and Sean Sullivan. In the individual 100 meters, Chery set a new personal best with a time of 11 seconds.
Dennis also shined in multiple events for the Bulldogs, winning the 400m and high jump against both teams. Downing added two wins in the mile, placed second against Sharon in both the 800m and high jump, and third against NA in the latter two events.

On the girls’ side, Canton scored a whopping nine first-place finishes against Sharon, led by Maddie Rousseau in the 100m, 100 hurdles and high jump. Other winners against the Eagles included Kiley Hanlon (200m), Maria Femia (400m), Kiara Cerruti (mile), Emma Massih (shot put); the 4×100 relay team of Gabby Herivaux, Jayda Taylor, Leah Murphy and Hanlon; and the 4×400 team of Lauren Sullivan, Cerruti, Annie Hoban and Femia.
