CANTON, May 3 – Max Sparks won three events while Brandon LaClair won two and finished second in a third event to help the Canton High boys track and field team move into a first place tie in the North Central Connecticut Conference.
The Warriors outlasted Granby, 77-73, to hand the Bears their first loss of the season along with beating Somers, 89-60. With two weeks remaining in the regular season, the win moves Canton, Granby and Ellington into a three-way tie for first place in the league with records of 9-1.
