BRISTOL – Bristol Eastern’s girls track & field program battled CCC South rival Plainville on Thursday but the locals dropped a tough 90-55 decision to the Blue Devils from Alumni Field in Bristol.
The Kingstreeters fell to 1-1 on the season over the losing effort.
Eastern was able to generate more than a couple first place tallies along the way.
In the challenging 400 meter event, the Lancers’ Princess Priscilla Dilone won the race with a finish of one minute, 4.24 seconds.
Over at the high jump pit, Ryan Braccia earned first place with a successful make of five feet even.
In the shot put, Eastern’s Kimberly Guzman won the field event with a toss of 26 feet, nine inches and by the time the the discus throw was completed, Zephaniah Foote had a very good showing for the Lancers.
Her first place toss in discus ended up going 76 feet, 10 inches.
Next Tuesday, the Lancers will return to the track and field at Bristol Eastern.
This time around, CCC South rival Maloney comes to Alumni Field for a 3:45 p.m. meet.
