HAMPTON – For the second straight day, the track and field monster that is Nashua North high School would simply not be denied.

The Titans boys team took a similar, yet still unique route to the Division I State Championship as the girls did on Thursday here at Winnacunnet High School.

In the end, North simply crushed the competition, piling up 96 points for the day. Runner-up Concord seemed eons away at 60.33. Pinkerton Academy (56) took third, while Nashua South (10th, 24 points), Merrimack (13th, 12) and Bishop Guertin (14th, 11.33) rounded out the local contingent.

“I had us down by 10 to 15 points to Pinkerton and Concord coming in,” said elated Titans coach Art Kobs, whose club last won the state outdoor title in 2015. “Overachieving. Hard work. They like one another and they feed off of one another. It’s a nice crew. The whole team came to play today.”

Points came from all over the track and the entire facility – points that even an optimistic Kobs couldn’t have predicted.

Junior Jack Washam obliterated his qualifying mark of 108 feet with a 134-foot discus bomb for his state title. Lucas Cunningham stunned the field in the javelin, winning by over 15 feet with a throw of 164-9.

“He came in with a (season best around) 140,” said Kobs. “Pat Cunningham is a javelin coach supreme, and the kids just feed off of one another. It’s a real tight-knit crew (of throwers). As you can see, all the girls are here (supporting them). They’re really tight. It’s been a fun year.”

But it was a pair of stalwarts, who the Titans were certainly counting on that rose to the occasion as you might have expected.

“Connor Dunning was crazy good,” said Kobs. “Jack Sullivan was crazy good.”

The sophomore Sullivan cleared 5-6, 5-8 and 5-10 on the first attempt, and that proved to be the difference as he claimed the state high jump title.

He then added to the Titan point total, grabbing second in the triple jump (40-11) and fifth in the long jump (19-8.75).

The Villanova-bound Dunning did all his work on the track, finding his top gear when it mattered.

He crushed the 200-meter field and nearly doubled when he took second in the 100.

“I was happy. That was the second time I’ve ever run the 100,” said Dunning. “I ran it in the last meet before this and I did all right. I was more than happy to take second for the team.”

Dunning wasn’t done. He anchored a 4×100 relay victory, closing the deal at 43.64 after Xavier Provost, Isaac Smith and Curtis Harris-Lopez put him in the perfect spot to do so.

Provost, Dunning, Sullivan and sophomore Preston Thompson added a little icing with a fourth-place effort in the 4×400.

“It was a long day, but definitely worth it. I didn’t care about the individual stuff, I wanted the team championship more than anything,” said Dunning. “Our guys in the field stepped up. They did way better than their seedings. Senior year, you couldn’t ask for anything better. Not having a season last year really set us up for success this year.

“You could tell who took the time to train and get better for this season and who didn’t. All our guys put in the work during the off time and it finally paid off.”

Dunning’s second in the 100, paced a wild 2-3-5-6 effort from the Titans, with Smith, Arthur Santos and Harris-Lopez providing heavy North flavor on the podium. Sullivan and Provost went 2-3 in the triple jump.

The freshman Santos was fourth in the 200. Smith and Sullivan went 5-6 in the long jump. Thomas Mason was fourth in the javelin to close out the Titans’ scoring.

Jason Compoh provided the lone title for Nashua South, scoring a victory in the shot put at 49-7.75. Teammate Sam Murray was sixth.

Rory Olsen sped home in 41.49, the Panther sophomore taking second in the 300 hurdles. Eden Damis was sixth.

South seniors Chris Keefe and Eric Carlo went 5-6 in the 400. Carlo added a sixth in the javelin.

Merrimack’s Sam Epstein cleared 12-0, good for third in the pole vault. Senior Josh Felo was fourth in the 800. Classmate Ryan Fischer was sixth.

Bishop Guertin’s top performance was a second in the 3200 from Nathaneal Fondakowski at 9:33.54. Junior classmate Sean O’Keefe was sixth. Senior Nathan Brodeur tied for fourth in the high jump at 5-8.
