MHS boys' beat Bellingham, 98-38

Medfield High School boys' track coach Tom Woods said freshman Jake Phelan is off to s great start this season as a result of his hard work in training.

"[Phelan gives] each workout and race 100 percent and it paid off [Monday], placing second in both the 400m and 200m," said Woods. "If he continues to work the way he has been, I believe he will quickly become one of the elite sprinters in the league."

Woods also credited Michael Baker, a senior, who threw the javeline 140 feet for the first time ever and plaecd first in the event.

"Like Connor Heaney with his off-season work, Mike has invested a lot of time in the jav and seeing the fruits of that hard work is very exciting," said Woods.
