Lowell Catholic made its way to Lynn Tech for a track and field meet, quickly learning that the Tigers meant business in their home jungle.

The Tech boys, who moved to 3-2 on the season, were led by Bryton Osgood who finished first in the 1-mile. Diego Castro impressed, too, winning the 600.

On the girls’ side, Jirelis DeJesus remained undefeated in the 55 high hurdles and 300 to help keep the Lady Tigers undefeated.

Lynn Tech returns to action Monday against Greater Lawrence in Boston at 3:30 p.m.

SWIMMING AND DIVING

Medford 87

Despite a Classical loss in enemy territory, positives were aplenty against Medford in an 87-75 final.

Second place finishes came from Camille Mendonca in the 200 freestyle and 100 fly, Andrew Moore in the 50 free, and David Gamero in the 100 free.

The 200 medley relay team of Mendonca, Amanda Hughes, Moore, and Kaydee Rouse, as well as the 200 free team of Gamero, Jakub Polski, Rouse and Mason Clarke both impressed in the loss.

Classical’s next meet is a home one against Salem on Monday.
