NEW BRITAIN — Coach Andre Shreeves was with his Weaver track team at practice in late March when the phone rang. It was former coach Lee Hunt, and to this day, more than two months later, Shreeves said he still couldn't believe what he was hearing.
"It took me a while to grasp what Coach Hunt was saying," Shreeves said Monday after his sophomore Mark Doyley had swept the 100- and 200-meter dashes in the State Open championships at Willow Brook Park. "I was stunned. I couldn't process it until I talked to Daundre's mom. When I told Mark after practice, he just shut down.
