ALBUQUERQUE – As it has for the past several seasons, the Los Alamos Hilltopper boys track and field team was looking for a big showing from its distance squad at state.

And as it has for the past several seasons, the Hilltoppers got it and its two top distance stars didn’t disappoint.

Senior Sean Reardon successfully defended his 1,600 state championship and finished second in the 800, while senior Nick Hill gutted out a tight 3200 meter race to claim the state title in that event.

Los Alamos again finished strong in the final standings at the Class 4A meet, held Friday and Saturday at the University of New Mexico Track and Field Complex.
