PORTSMOUTH — The Portsmouth High boys’ indoor track and field team picked up two more wins on Thursday, Jan. 12, to remain undefeated with a 7-0 record.
The Patriots beat Narragansett, 82-27, and Rogers, 80-29, during a meet held at the Providence Career & Technical Academy.
There were 24 personal bests for the Patriots, who notched seven first-place finishes.
“The meet MVP for us goes to Landon Rodrigues,” said head coach Shaun Horgan.
Rodrigues, a junior, won the 55-meter hurdles race in a time of 8.36 seconds, and also took first place in the long jump with a best leap of 20 feet, 8 inches. “Both performances moved him into the top six of the statewide rankings,” Horgan said.
