The Barrington High School boys indoor track team won five events and captured the Metropolitan Division Championship on Tuesday night, Jan. 30. 

The Eagles scored 188.5 points, outpacing second place LaSalle, which finished with 121 points. 

Joe Adams won two events for Barrington — he was tops in the shot put with a distance of 45 feet, 3.75 inches, and was first in the weight throw with a distance of 58 feet, 6.25 inches. 

Brandon Piedade was a double winner also. The senior raced to victory in the 1,500-meter event, crossing the line with a time of 4:07.51. Piedade also won the 1,000-meter race with a time of 2:43.91.

Myles Napolitano won the 3,000-meter race, finishing with a time of 9:32.33. In fact, the Eagles nearly swept that event — Sam Barber finished second, Neal Bansal finished third and Sam Spencer finished sixth. 

The Eagles also dominated the 55-meter hurdles. Ethan Knight won the event with a time of 7.61 seconds. Bobby Wind finished in second place, crossing the line four-one hundredths of a second behind Knight. Ryan Martin finished third with a time of 8.30 and Jared Lesk was fourth with a time of 8.35. 

Barrington’s 4x800-meter relay team won its event. Daniel Chun, Brooks Mello, Marius Bonard and Henry Stockwell finished with a time of 8:20.69. 

The Eagles’ 4x200-meter relay team (Gabe Tanous, Charly Potter, Knight and Iain DeBoth) finished second, and the 4x400-meter relay team (Will DiGiacomo, Hayden Knight, Ethan Knight, and DeBoth) grabbed third place. 

The Eagles scored points in the 55-meter dash, as Tanous finished second, DeBoth finished fifth and Patrick Trainor finished sixth. Barrington had three top-six finishers in the 300-meter race: Ethan Knight was second, Wind was fifth, and DiGiacomo was sixth. 

Barrington had two student-athletes place in the high jump. Shea Parish cleared 6 feet, 2 inches and finished third, while Chucky Potter cleared six feet and finished tied for fifth. 

Other point-scorers for Barrington included Marco Lopergolo in the weight throw (fifth place), Stockwell in the 600-meter race (sixth), Napolitano in the 1,000 (third), Connor Curran (third) and Bishop (sixth) in the 1,500-meter, and Aiden Memoli in the long jump (sixth). 

Barrington will compete in the Class B Championship meet on Saturday, Feb. 3.
