The Wellesley girls’ team won five events Sunday to take home the MSTCA Division 2 outdoor relays crown in Marshfield.

The Raiders used a balanced effort to score 72 points en route to the title.

“We have so much depth on our team,’’ Wellesley coach John Griffith said. “I thought we had a shot coming in, but to beat teams like Hingham and some of the other schools in this division was fantastic.’’

Wellesley won three of the five track events (100, 200, 800) to hold off Hingham (63 points). Natick placed third with 52 points.

The Raiders also took home victories in the high jump (14 feet 9 inches) and triple jump (99-2½).

“I think this will give our girls a lot of confidence,’’ Griffith said. “Sometimes kids are afraid to be good, but when they believe that they are as good as they can be, the results really show. So we’re running and jumping and throwing with a lot of confidence right now.’’

Long after the Wellesley girls received their trophies and T-shirts, Reading locked up the boys’ title with a second-place finish in the final event, the javelin.

Reading trailed North Attleboro and North Andover in the overall standings heading into the event. But with a combined score of 440 feet, the Rockets claimed 8 points to jump into first overall, while North Attleboro (fifth) and North Andover (16th) failed to place.

“We had set a goal to be in the top three [overall],’’ Reading coach Scott Price said.

“I thought we could score at least 40 points. Last year we got a lot of sixth and seventh places in some events, so those kids went from their junior to senior year and really progressed.’’

The Rockets racked up 47 points, while North Attleboro and Central Catholic tied for second with 43.

After a decent showing on the track, Reading flourished in the field events, winning the high jump (17-6¼) and finishing second in the shot put, discus, and javelin.

“We talk all about the value of the team,’’ Price said. “This event is all about the team. You don’t want someone to get a 22 on the long jump and have another kid get a zero. So everyone has to do their part and today they did. This was just a great team effort.’’

The Plymouth South girls’ team set the meet record for the shuttle hurdles with a blazing time of 1:04.23.

Division 3

The Tewksbury girls’ track team rode a hot start to a first-place finish at the MSTCA Div­ision 3 outdoor relays in Burlington.

In the day’s first event, the 4 x 1,600, the Redmen placed second. They swiftly picked up 15 more points when Tewksbury’s A-team won the pole vault and the B-team tied for third.

“We got off to a great start,’’ Tewksbury coach John Byrnes said.

“With the finishes in the pole vault and the four-by-mile, that’s 23 points right out of the gate, and that helped us a lot.’’

The Redmen finished in the top six in 12 of 15 events, also winning the distance medley and the 4 x 100.

They racked up 79 points on the day, outpacing second-place Milton (60). The Wildcats snagged victories in the 4 x 400, the 4 x 800, and the 4 x 1,600, and finished a half-second behind Tewksbury in the 4 x 100 to take silver.

Sophomore Rachel Sessa led the charge in distance events for Tewksbury, running a five-minute mile in the 4 x 1,600 and later a 5:03 mile in the distance medley. For good measure, she ran 2:14.20 in the 800-meter leg of the 1,600 sprint medley.

“To run basically a five-flat twice and do what she did in the medley, that’s one of the most impressive individual performances I’ve seen,’’ Byrnes said.

Plymouth North set the all-division record in the sprint medley with a 4:08.86.

Pentucket (39), Pembroke (36), Dracut (31), and Hopkinton (31) rounded out the girls’ top five.

On the boys’ side, Burlington amassed 69 points to win its second straight outdoor championship.

“Coming into the season we set out with four goals: win relays, win the league ­title, win the full league, and win states,’’ Burlington coach Matt Carr said. “We just knocked off the first of that list.’’

The Red Devils won three events — the 4 x 400, the high jump, and the 4 x 100 shuttle hurdles — and used consistency across the board to nose past Bishop Feehan (58 points), last year’s co-champion.

“It wasn’t just the runners that helped us win today,’’ Carr said. “Everyone was on.’’

That includes junior Eddie Reis, the Red Devil responsible for Burlington’s first-place finish in the high jump and a member of the 4 x 100 shuttle crew.

There was a large drop-off behind Burlington and Bishop Feehan in the final standings. Pembroke (38) finished third, followed by Tewksbury (37) and Dracut (32).

A soft drizzle came and went throughout the afternoon portion of the meet, but coaches said the weather didn’t have much impact on their teams’ performances.

“We’ve had three dual meets in weird weather — seriously, we had guys running when it was 40 degrees outside,’’ Carr said. “We didn’t really know what we had because of that. Since the weather was fine today, we got a better sense of where we are. I like where we’re at.’’
