Cronin sets record, wins at New Englands
Track
Over the weekend, Moira Cronin proved she was not just the best high jumper in the MVC or Massachusetts, she is the best in New England.
The Golden Warriors sophomore cruised to victory in the high jump with a stunning 5-9 at the 64th New England Track and Field Championships in Burlington, Vt. It was two inches better than second place Ronea Saunders of Lyman Hall (Conn.).
That mark shattered her own school record, and also crushed the old Eagle-Tribune area record of 5-8 by Londonderry's Krista Nelson in 1997.

Carlson delivers big summer debut
He was still nagged by the ankle injury suffered during the high school season, but Shawn Carlson had more than enough to dominate. The righty allowed just one earned run over six innings, leading Andover Legion to a 5-2 win over Saugus on Friday.
Back from college, Mike Taylor was 3 for 3 with three RBIs, while John Hennessy added two hits and two runs and Zach Burdeau was 2 for 3 with an RBI single.

Fresh off another stellar track season, Christopher McConnell had three hits to help Andover Legion to a 9-0 romp of Beverly last Thursday. John Farrell went the distance, fanning eight and allowing two hits, while Mike Taylor and John Hennessy (2 RBIs) contributed two hits apiece.
