Andy and Kent Bolster, fittingly, were inducted into the athletic hall of fame at Duxbury High together, in 2010.

The Bolster brothers were dominant performers in track and field for the Green Dragons, and still thrive on the competition more than three decades after their final respective high school meets.

Andy Bolster (class of 1977), one of two student-athletes at Duxbury High to earn 12 varsity letters, set the school record in the discus with his throw of 179.5 feet in 1977. A year later, Kent (’78) surpassed the mark with a heave of 182 feet, still a state record.

“He didn’t like that too much,’’ said Kent. “There was a lot of competition between brothers. We’d train together all the time and we would feed off each other.’’

Andy was the starting quarterback for the varsity as a freshman; he also played hockey. In 1976, he was the East Coast champion in the discus and was recruited by Nebraska and Iowa State, among others. However, he was persuaded by his father to pursue a fishing career, and attended marine training at the University of Rhode Island.

In 1980, he moved to California to train for the Olympic Trials with a few track athletes at UCLA until he realized the competition was bigger and stronger. He enlisted in the US Army, and as a member of special forces, he developed a love for kayaking from training missions. He retired from the military six years later and is still a competitive kayaker. “We used kayaks in the military and I took a liking to it,’’ he said. “I ended up starting kayak races and became national champion in my age group at Lake Lanier in Georgia.’’

These days, Andy lives in Virginia with his wife, Shaelagh, and two sons, Orion, 15, and Odin, 11, who are both avid soccer players. At 57, he still races competitively, and is training for another run at the US National Marathon Kayaking championships, likely in 2017 or 2018. Marathon kayak races can be between 12 and 25 miles.

Kent Bolster accepted a full scholarship to Rhode Island, where he threw the discus, shot put and the hammer. In 1982, he won a New England title in the discus. His career bests as a collegian included a throw of 180-2 in the discus, 54-6 in the shot put and 199-10 in the hammer toss. He was also selected for the US Military All-European Team in 1984-85.

After a 28-year career in US Army special forces, he is employed as a private contractor for a defense firm. He lives in New Hampshire and has 25-year-old twin daughters, Jessica and Karina, and a son, Zachary.

Retired with the rank of colonel, he said that his career in sports set up his military career nicely.

“Athletics played into it very well,’’ said Bolster, who previously served as an assistant track coach at Dickinson College in Pennsylvania.

“The military, special forces in particular, is a very competitive company. It’s a skilled group of guys and they only take the best. It’s a selection process every day. So athletics played in very well and I felt right at home.’’
