MANSFIELD - Not one, not two, but there is the potential for three members of the
Mansfield High boys' indoor track team to be standing side by side next weekend
when medals are presented to the best shot putters assembled for the MIAA Division
2 Championship Meet at the Reggie Lewis Center.
"Our goal is 1, 2, 3," said Mansfield High assistant coach Steve Cameron, the former
Attleboro High weight great, who has tutored Mansfield High senior Greg Martell, junior
Mike McPherson and sophomore Dan Glavin to all have throws over 50-feet this
season. "Having one 50-footer at this level is having a good year, two is a rare
blessing, but three doesn't happen!"
But it does and it presents the Hockomock League dual meet tri-champion Hornets
with the potential for an accumulation of points that might separate them from the
rest of the Division 2 competition.
"Just the competition that these guys go through every day in practice is huge, it kind
of reminds me of my days back at Attleboro High with Bob Otrando, Greg Butterfield
and Fred Pardey," chuckled Cameron.
All three have produced throws of 50-feet or better, just not all on the same day, "but
that's what we're looking for," said Cameron, who has a technically sound thrower in
Martell and two underclassmen in McPherson and Glavin who are throwing on natural
ability and strength.
