BUCKLAND - Tilly Taylor won the javelin with a distance of 121 feet, 8 inches to lead the Frontier Regional girls track & field team to a second-place finish at the Western Massachusetts Division 2 Championship Thursday at Mohawk Trail.

"I just focus on myself," Taylor, the top seed and defending all-WMass champion said. "I try not to think about anyone else because if I start worrying about other people it negatively affects me."
