Garçon Means Boy

Sports art and cognitive dissonance.

Dan Whelan: “The thing that stands out to me most about Ian is his competitiveness. In big meets, he somehow finds a way to raise his level.”

[Duxbury Clipper @duxburyclipper]

Ian McNeil: "I never imagined myself ending my senior year as a two-time state champion. It still doesn’t feel real, but I couldn’t be happier with the times I ran. Seeing Coach Whelan and Glennon as excited as I was after winning both races made the experience unforgettable."

Congratulations to everyone who competed today. An incredible day for the team and individuals. Well done.

History is made in the Div. 4 boys 100-meter dash, as Ian McNeil of Duxbury (@DuxHSAthletics) narrowly edges out Gustavo Varela of Greater Lawrence by .01 ticks to finish with a time of 10.79 seconds.

That is also a new meet record, besting the prior mark set back in 2014 by .06 seconds. @Murray_Jack_

Way to go Ian!!

“I’m glad that I’ve been able to break four individual records during my time on the track team. It wouldn’t have been possible without support from my coaches and teammates.”

[Duxbury Clipper @duxburyclipper]

Ian McNeil: “I’m thrilled with the times I ran. It’s been a dream of mine to be up on the school record board since freshman year.”

[Duxbury Dragons Athletics @DuxHSAthletics]

Congrats Ian! Two records broken today!

Some thoughts from some of the key contributors for the boys team:

[Duxbury Clipper @duxburyclipper]

Ian McNeil: Patriot League champ in the 55 and 300. The 300 was a wild finish, and he set school records in both events.

[Duxbury Clipper @duxburyclipper]

Ian McNeil: "It’s just an amazing program. All the coaches are so good at their job. All the players are so nice and kind. I’m glad I got to be a part of this program."

[Duxbury Clipper @duxburyclipper]

Ian McNeil with a first-place finish (6.61) in the 55-meter dash. That ties Lucas Fadden for third place in school history. Closing in on Brody McGrail’s all-time record.

Ian McNeil: “I’m so proud of every single person on the team. Everyone worked so hard in the week leading up to the game and it showed. It wasn’t the result we were looking for, but I’m glad that I could experience such a great season with an amazing team.”

After 1Q: Scituate 7, Duxbury 7

Grayson Foley a 4-yard TD run for Scituate, then Ian McNeil a 16-yard run for Duxbury.

Cam Cerussi busy for the Sailors and Jack Carney a nice catch for Dux.

Huge stop on fourth and 1 from the Dragons @GlobeSchools @DuxHSFootball

Every trip to the semifinals carries significance in its own way for the Duxbury football team, but this one meant a little extra because of what the Dragons endured to get there.

They lost three of their first five games, including a heartbreaker against Hingham in mid-October. The season could have easily gone south, but instead — as they so often do — the Dragons grew stronger and saved their best for the tournament: https://t.co/90pLwKIbH9 @GlobeSchools @DuxHSAthletics @DuxHSFootball

Final: Duxbury 38, Burlington 14

The Dragons leave no doubt, cruising past the previously unbeaten Red Devils to advance to their seventh straight semifinal.

Complete effort in all three phases @GlobeSchools @DuxHSAthletics @DuxHSFootball
