Am I wrong to assume Needham swept their tri-meet with Braintree and Dedham? Am I wrong to to be annoyed that neither coach called in the results to the Globe?
Wednesday: Natick hosts Newton North and Milton at Elm Bank Park. Natick has the best 1-2 combination in the league in Becca White and Anya Price, but Newton has a solid 1-4, led by Carolyn Ranti.

Needham girls went to the line without three of their top seven and then during the race, one more dropped out... (rolled ankle). So no, they did not sweep, but still won easily taking 1, 3, 4, 5 and (9 or 10). The overall health of the team however is okay, with the three sitting out as precautionary measures.
How did the Weymouth girls do (besides being swept)? Who led them?
Thanks, Bombay! Congratulations on the win and I hope everyone is back at full strength for the final weeks of the season.
Jon,
Can the Elm bank course really be 2.7 miles? The times are very fast.
A good part of elm bank is road and most of it is flat. It was more around 2.6.
Yea its a really flat course but someone on dyestat said it was wheel-measured to be 2.73 miles
There are two Elm Bank courses, for clarification -- the Natick one is shorter and doesn't have the hill (I think it's 2.5 all flat?). The Wellesley course (new this year) incorporates the hill and was wheeled out to 2.715 or so (not 2.73, my bad) -- I might personally wheel it out next week with Nick Carroll just to make sure the coaches took the exact corners and what not.
Hope that clears it up.
To add to Bombay's comments, the Needham boys 1-4 ran as a pack just for the win. Riley sat.
