The Barrington High School boys indoor track team is hoping for a three-peat.

Last year, the Eagles won their second straight Class B Championship, while finishing 8-1 in the Metropolitan Division dual meets. This year, Coach Bill Barrass said the team is targeting another title.

“Our goal this season is to win the Class B Championships for the third season in a row,” Coach Barrass wrote in an email to the Times.

The Eagles are also hoping to improve at the state championship meet and qualify more competitors for the regionals. Last year, Barrington finished seventh at states. 

“We also hope to see everyone continue to improve,” Coach Barrass wrote. “There are nearly 70 members of the team. Everyone gets to compete and to improve, whether they are one of the best in the state, or competing only in the JV meets.”

Coach Barrass said he has a number of talented student-athletes returning this year, including team captains Charlie Stockwell (distance runner), Michael Fay (thrower), Nate Greenberg (sprints), and Eli Terrell (jumps and hurdles). 

Coach Barrass said he is also expecting strong performances from Ethan Knight (hurdles) and Brandon Piedade (distance), and many others.
