Left without his flashy pink javelin because of a weigh-in issue prior to the meet, Andover's Mark Zavrl was forced to borrow a javelin from a competitor from Lowell yesterday.

It could have thrown him off, but the Red Raider javelin worked just fine for the Golden Warrio.

Despite only one individual winner — Devon Lattrell, who won the javelin — Central Catholic easily outdistanced the rest of the 21-team field to win the Andover Boosters Track Meet.

Football standout Fortune Kalala scored a stellar 43-3 1/2 in the triple jump, the best in the area this season, as Central Catholic downed Andover 88-57. Golden Warrior Frank Borseti, a newcomer to the high jump, won the event with a 5-10, while Raider Alex Dehullu won both hurdles.

With the meet to be decided on the final event of the day, the team of Ryan Cooney, Mike Maldari, Pat O'Sullivan and Will Klein took the 4x400 in 3:34.22 to give Andover a 75-72 win over Haverhill. Golden Warrior freshman Sebastian Silviera ran a speedy 53.74 to take the 400, while the Hillies were led by Pat Garvey, who won the high jump, 110 hurdles and 400 hurdles.

A freshman foursome won the 4x400 relay in their first varsity meet for Andover. Sebastian Silverio, Demitri Kostakous, Victor Guerry and Haveed Naveed finished the relay in 3:54.6 as the Golden Warriors beat Chelmsford, 93-51, to open the season.
