Summary
Cromwell High’s boys track team stunned the state with their first outdoor title since 1970, thanks to a heart-pounding triple jump finale where sophomore Luke Haslam nailed a 46-3 jump to edge out Ellington by one point. But the drama didn’t end there — a disqualification flipped the standings, briefly lifting Cromwell before Ellington’s jumper was disqualified again, sealing Cromwell’s win. Coach Joe Asmus, expecting his wife’s birth any day, called it “the craziest track meet ever,” while Haslam, coming in with a personal best of 44-1, said a prayer and delivered. Meanwhile, Bloomfield girls dominated again, winning their fifth straight title with 157 points and setting meet records in the 4x100 and 200m.
