Augusta, Maine - Both the Foxcroft Academy boys’ and girls’ outdoor track teams placed eighth out of 31 teams at the 2012 State Class C Track and Field Championship at Cony High School on Saturday. Fern Morrison capped an incredible freshman year by winning the 400 meter dash--posting an even better time (1:01.73) than Emily Panciera ’11 did when she won the state title last year--and finishing as runner up in the 800 meter run. Junior Donnie Boyer became a state champion in the high jump, besting the field with a leap of 5-10, and also placed fourth in the triple jump. Both Morrison and Boyer have qualified to compete at the 67th New England Championship Meet at Thornton Academy on Saturday, June 9.
