David Creed •
This Whaler sports roundup includes some pictures from the indoor track & field senior recognition day, as well as a quick update on the boys basketball team, updated MIAA power rankings, and a look ahead to the upcoming Whaler sports schedule as we hit the final two week stretch of regular season sports action.
Indoor Track & Field Honors Four Seniors
It was senior recognition day for the indoor track and field team Monday evening. Each senior was honored with the voice of Whaler sports - Chris Morris - in attendance to conduct the ceremony. Refreshments and light bites were also made available for the ceremony thanks to the Nantucket Booster Club - with Sandy Klatt spearheading the effort and what was a very organized ceremony.
