This Saturday is the State Coaches Meet in Wrentham. For all except varsity runners, this is the final meet of the season -- a chance to have one last good race before the winter.
It is also a chance to run against other runners in your school year. There are twelve separate races at the meet: there are Div I and Div II freshman races (3K), sophomore races (5K), and junior/senior races (5K) for boys and girls. Newton North runs in Div I, and should have runners in most, if not all of the races.

The Wrentham course is relatively flat, but not necessarily fast since much of it is run through fields that typically have fairly thick grass. Last year's times seemed to be a little faster than Franklin Park.
The weather forecast looks a lot better than last weekend! Although it will be quite chilly, there is no rain in the forecast, and temperatures should be up to the low 40's by the middle of the day when the Div I races are scheduled.
