The Hall High boys track & field team won its second straight Class L state championship with a dominating performance May 30 at Middletown High.

The Warriors scored in 12 of 18 events, amassing 96 points to beat Amity (67) and Bristol Central (60).  

Hall had 67 points just in the track events, scoring in seven of 11 races.

The Warriors had 67 points in track events. Senior Trey Cormier repeated as state champion in the 1600 (4:17.77), edging Xavier junior Robbie Cozean (4:17.81). Cormier also took fourth place in the 3200.

In another close finish, Hall senior Miller Anderson won the 800 (1:56.59) over Xavier senior Pierre Sylvain (1:56.71).

Hall dominated the relays, accumulating a total of 26 points. With Anderson running the anchor leg, the Warriors set a Class L record in the 4×800 (7:52.96). The previous mark (8:01.02) was set by Ridgefield in 2005.

Hall runners also had runner-up finishes in both the 4×100 and 4×400.

Hall sophomore Israel Henriques-Setho won the triple jump (43-06.5) and was third in the long jump. In all, the Warriors had 10 top-three finishes.

Hall has been among the elite track programs in recent years, winning three indoor titles and two outdoor since 2017. The Warriors also won the indoor title at the State Open this past winter after capturing the Class LL championship.
