The last time Ethan Champlin competed in an event with other high schoolers was Feb. 14.
The Hopkinton High senior had his spring outdoor track and field season canceled – due to ongoing COVID-19 pandemic – and his fall football season pushed back to next February.
On Saturday, however, Champlin finally broke that drought as he ran in the 55-meter dash and competed in the long jump at the MSTCA Distance and Speed Classics held at Wheaton College in North.
“It’s great to get out here and just compete,” Champlin, 17, said. “I haven’t competed since last winter. It’s great to get a lot of people from different towns as well. I was talking to some of the guys about football; it’s just great all around keeping yourself active.”
