Last February, Pinkerton boys edged out Merrimack by just five points to take home the Division 1 state title for the first time since 1993.  This year, the Astros did it again in even closer fashion.  They posted 78 points — just three more than second-place Nashua North (75). Concord finished third with 38 points.  Pinkerton had some sensational individual performances, including Chris Poggi winning the 1,000 (2:37.73) and Zach Cicio finishing second in the 300 (36.25) and third in the 55 meter (6.72).  Poggi along with Connor Kwiecien, Joe Poggi and Ryan Lynch won the 4x400 (3:33.99). Poggi also helped Pinkerton’s 4x200 team of Zach Cicio, Kwiecien and James Toohey to victory with a 1:33.92. Londonderry boys had a strong showing, finishing fourth as a team with 36 points.  The Lancers received first-place finishers from Starlin Ortiz in the high jump (6-0) and Grant McAuliffe, Keith Perry, Matthew Selinka and Josh Leahy in the 4x800 (8:35.27).

Chris Poggi won the 300, a race which several locals placed. 

Poggi posted a 37.3 in the race to lead Pinkerton to a second-place team finish with 42 points in a 15-team New Hampshire meet yesterday. 

Locals Grant McAuliffe of Londonderry (9:48.1), Nick Leach of Londonderry (10:01.9) and Jake Wormald of Pelham (10:12.7) finished first, second and third respectively in the 3,000 at a 10-team New Hampshire meet.
