Newton North over Dedham
As expected, the Newton North boys and girls XC teams had little trouble with Dedham yesterday, as the Tiger girls won 15-50 and the boys won 15-45. It was supposed to be a tri-meet with Framingham, but the Flyers did not show up, reportedly because of a scheduling mistake.
In the girls race, Carolyn Ranti ran easily to the victory in 20:33, but right behind her was [EDIT: Nora Barnicle (thanks, Adina!)] (20:38). Adina Hemley-Bronstein was third in 20:54, Franca Godenzi was fourth, with Susannah Gleason fifth.
In the boys race, all I know is that Newton took the first five [EDIT: 11?] places in front of Dedham's Danny hernon (19:18).
Walpole Boys, Weymouth Girls Sweep at Weymouth
According to the Daily News transcript, "Walpole defeated Weymouth, 24-33, for its first win over the Wildcats in 10 years. The Rebels also defeated host Braintree, 20-42, to improve to 4-3 on the season."
Braintree's Kyle Higgins won the race in 14:43, nearly 40 seconds ahead of Weymouth's Rob Keegan (15:20). Walpole took places 3-5, 8, and 9 for the win. Top finisher for the Rebels was senior Eric Flaman (15:22).
In the girls race, Weymouth squeaked by Walpole 27-28.
Brookline Boys, Wellesley Girls Sweep at Milton
Brookline's Mike Burnstein (15:39) and David Wilson (15:45) went 1-2 at Houghton's Pond, as the Warriors defeated Wellesley, and swept Milton.
Wellesley's undefeated girls team took the top eight places to sweep away Brookline and Milton and run their record to 7-0.
Needham Boys Crush Natick, Norwood. Natick Girls Take Two
Sam Miller set a course record at Cutler Park, running 16:40 for the flat 5K loop, and his teammates had no trouble finishing off Natick and Norwood as the rockets ran their season record to 6-1 (the only loss to Brookline).
In the girls race, Becca White matched Miller, recording a course record 18:28 for another impressive win. Teammate Anya Price was second in 19:04, leading Natick to victories over Needham and Norwood.

...but right behind her was Nevart Varadian (20:38)...
Is it just me or does Peter Martin have an uncanny ability to turn a kid most people have never heard of into a star in a short period of time.
i believe the north boys also swept 15-50
I'm pretty sure Newton North took the first 11 places in the boys race.
is the Brookline course 5k?
will there be a NN vs framingham meet?
reportedly? the meet was scheduled to be at framingham and the flyers ran AT dedham last year so their schedule made sense. get your facts straight before you start posting your assumptions
The league master schedule shows the Fram/NN/Dedham meet scheduled for Dedham this year. Those are the facts.
umm ok. but framinghams schedule and highschoolsports.net said at home.
highschoolsports.net information is put in by your school staff. Your schedule is printed by your school staff. Your school staff made a mistake.
the meet is scheduled to be made up at cold springs park on 10/30. settle your issues on the field please.
what issues?
Hey Jon!
Quick point of info- Nora was in 2nd place behind Carolyn; I think the newspaper made a strange error by calling her Nevart...
See you on the 13th!

Dedham hosted Framingham last year, it should have been at Framingham this year. master schedule is messed up, its just not correct.
Correction... the master schedule has NOTHING to do with last year. It is entirely new, having dropped form 8 to 7 meets. Some teams have home opponents from last year and this year. The master says that the meet was at Dedham, which can not (and should not) host a tri-meet. Framingham and NN obviously miscommunicated on who was to host the meet. It has nothing to do with last year.

I used the word reportedly because the Daily News Tribune reported that Framingham was not at the meet, and I quote, "...due to a scheduling mistake." In general, when I don't attend a meet, I have to rely on published accounts. This post had at least two factual error, both of which came directly from published reports. I would love it if the coaches provided me with results of the meets, but at this point they don't, and I simply can't call them after every race.
Anyone out there want to volunteer to help? I know it's a lot less fun than sniping...
John -
You should check out athletic.net.
I have been preaching about this site for months.
Brookline uses it and Weymouth boys - if everyone used it, it would be a snap to get league results.
If you browse around the results from the Northwest, it is amazing.
It also is great from a team perspective - keeps track of each athlete's performance - keeps track by event.
And, once you have your roster in, it only takes about 30 minutes to enter a whole track meet performance. XC must take about 5 minutes because you don't have to enter the events.
I would certainly enter the league results if the teams themselves would enter their rosters.
