They’re back on (their) track.

The Nashua High School South boys and girls track teams were back on the Fran Tate Track for the first time in four years. There was no season in 2020, and the last two years the track was needing repair, and was resurfaced in August. Thus the Panthers were finally able to host a meet, boys and girls both celebrating with wins over Alvirne and Manchester Central.

“The South team was determined not to let the opportunity pass them by,” South boys coach Doug Booth said, “to prove that they will be a force this track season.”

Elsewhere it was also a day for lacrosse, as the Bishop Guertin girls downed Souhegan in the season opener for both. Also, the Milford girls and the Hollis boys enjoyed wins, the Cavs in a big way.

Here’s your Tuesday local rundown:
