is the precursor to state competition and gives an indication to
future scoring at the Class C meet in February.
Canton had two
first-place relays and a second-place showing in the shot put
competition, sharing third place overall with Hopkinton at 28
points. Bishop Feehan was the overall Division III winner at 48
