With his time as a Scarlet Knight nearly over, North Andover’s Erick Duffy delivered another tremendous day on the track.

Central Catholic won the team title at the MSTCA Nothern Area Decathlon on Wednesday, taking first overall with 15,247 team points. Sophomore Greg Desrosiers placed fourth overall with 5,372 points, Joe Howshan took seventh (4,989 points) and AJ Caggianelli placed 10th (4,880).

BRIDGEWATER — Last week at the Eastern Mass. Division 2 championships, Erick Duffy may have put together the greatest double ever by an area trackster.

Yesterday (and Thursday) he outdid that. Thursday he pole vaulted 16-7, breaking his own state record to grab his third straight All-State title. Yesterday, he smashed his own school record of 14.30 with a 14.10 to also win the 110 hurdles. For good measure, he ran on the sixth-place 4x400 team.

LOWELL — The butterflies were working overtime in the stomach of Hannah Lansberry and her 4x400 teammates as they took the track for the final event on Saturday.

Central Catholic whipped Andover, 97-48, to complete a 5-0 regular season and the MVC Large crown. The Raiders' Evan Fagan won the mile and 2-mile (4:44, 10:49.1) and teammate Lukas Blythe captured the 200 and 400 (22.6, 52.8)

Andover's Andrew Lucia won the long jump (20-6), 400 (50.1) and 200 (22.5) but the Golden Warriors fell to Lowell 84-62.
