Wellesley Sweeps Norwood

The Wellesley girls had no difficulty shutting out Norwood, winning their meet at Norwood 15-50. The Wellesley boys had a tougher challenge, but prevailed 16-41. Nick Carroll won by half a minute in 17:23. According to Dyestat sources, Will Volkmann sprained his ankle and had to drop out. We hope it's a minor injury and he is back soon.

Natick-Walpole Split

The Walpole boys notched their 5th win of the season over the redmen, 24-32, despite having two varsity runners out of the meet with injuries. The Natick girls defeated the rebels 22-33, as rebecca white and Anya Price tied for first for Natick.

Milton Sweeps Dedham

Dedham's Danny Hernon won his first ever varsity XC race, running 18:20 at Milton's Houghton's Pond, but it wasn't enough for the Maurauders to overcome the Wildcats, as Milton won 25-33. Milton also won the girls race 22-34.

Needham Sweeps Framingham

No details from Needham's meet with Framingham at Cutler Park.

volkmann has a confirmed sprain and was on crutches today (luckily no break), with the best of the luck he'll be on the stationary bike by monday -- racing CM is still another question.

We just hope he's back and fit for needham / wellesley.

Well, it seems that neither I nor Coach Blackburn got Seb's name right on the first try. Coach points out to me that it's P-U-T-Z-E-Y-S, with a "Z" and an "E", but any way you spell it, he is very speedy!
