ANDOVER — Looking down at the gold medal that had been draped around his neck moments earlier, it still seemed a bit surreal to Andover’s Pat Farnham.

“I never though I’d be running this fast,” said Farnham. “I never thought I’d be running track at all in high school. It feels so awesome. I just love this.”

ANDOVER — A year ago, Andover’s Sydney Eberth was relegated to the sidelines as a spectator.

“She was sick with (mononucleosis) and missed last spring,” said Golden Warriors coach Peter Comeau. “She didn’t have a junior season. It was tough.”

In his first time running the 200, Lawrence's Kelvin Severino blazed the distance in 22.2 seconds — the fastest time in the area this spring — to win the event in a meet against Tewksbury. Severino also won the 100 with a time of 10.8, second-fastest behind Andover's Patrick Farnham this season.
