Tuesday's tri-meet between Newton, Needham, and Walpole @ Sharon was a dandy, with the Needham boys and Newton girls emerging as the big winners.
Needham's Sam Miller won the boys race, and Needham took five of the top seven spots to crush North and Walpole, and run their record to 4-1. Seb Putzys and Dan Hamilton finished 2nd and 3rd for North, but the absence of Ben Chebot (stress fracture?), Jarad Forman, and Charlie Krasnow in the results hurt the Tigers, who did manage a narrow 26-29 win over Walpole.
Final team scores were:
Needham 23 Newton 33
Needham 15 Walpole 42
Newton 26 Walpole 29
In the girls race, Newton junior Carolyn Ranti remained unbeaten, winning the 2.93-mile race in 18:32. Needham's Emily Lipman finished 2nd, followed by North's Franca Godenzi (19:38) and Adina Hemley-Bronstein (19:58). Nora Barnicle (8th, 20:42) and Becca Park (11th, 21:11) completed the scoring for North, which improved its record to 4-1.
Walpole eked out a 1-point victory over Needham, as Diana Wiseman and Liv Perry finished 5th and 6th overall, and Walpole put four runners in front of Needham's third.
Final team scores were:
Newton 20 Walpole 37
Newton 21 Needham 34
Walpole 28 Needham 29
In other Bay State action, Weymouth scored a 27-28 win over Brookline at Larz Anderson. Natick's Becca White set another course record at Braintree, running 19:01 for the 3M course, but Natick fell to Wellesley 36-25.

Completely off topic, but is CSU bringing a cross country team to Topsfield this weekend ?
Great course, nice weather . . . .
I think it was Needham 23 Newton North 33.
Josh - I don't know. Some of us are still a bit weary from the 10M last Sunday. Another exhausting effort on a great course with nice weather.
Anonymous - Fixed the NN-Needham score.
