Both the girls’ and boys’ track and field teams at Nipmuc High School put together outstanding campaigns in 2025, with the girls running the table for the second year in a row and the boys coming the closest they’ve been to a Dual Valley League title in more than a decade.

“Both teams had an extremely good season,” said Head Coach Justin Townsend. “We had program records flying off the board.”

Each team has several stars who led the way all season, and the field events were especially strong across the board.

On the girls’ side, freshman Cam Getman set a school record with a discus throw of nearly 111 feet, and finished third in the state divisional meet.

 “I am very proud of Cam,” Townsend said. “Incredibly talented, takes feedback, very coachable, Cam is going to have a really strong four years of track.”

Senior captain Julia Lenfest was the girls’ top scorer, and a star in the sprints, hurdles, and long jump. She was named the DVC’s all-around athlete of the year, while Getman was the field event athlete of the year.

Nipmuc also relied on junior hurdler Riley Restic, who earned a spot at the meet of champions, and Amelia Squires, another star in the shot put and discus.

The boys were led by junior Eben Consigli, who won the divisional championship in the discus and posted the third-best discus throw in the state. He broke a program record in that event that had stood since 1983. His teammate, Dashel Correia, broke an even older mark: His best shot put mark of nearly 53-feet eclipsed a record set in 1977.

Aidan Lucier was the all-around athlete of the year in the DVC and had top marks in the 100-meter dash, the long jump, and the triple jump. He took home a first and three seconds in the league meet, amassing 34 points on his own. Senior captain Gabriel Sicurella, along with Lucier, set a program record in the 100, and Sicurella added a program-best mark in the 200.

Townsend noted that, even with some talented athletes graduating, Nipmuc has a strong group coming back and a deep feeder program with the middle school team.

“We are producing good athletes, they are developing, people are attracted to the program,” he said, adding that the total number of sign-ups this spring amounted to about 15% of the school population.

“It just seems to get better and better every year,” Townsend said.
