The NNHS boys were led by Dan Hamilton, who won the 2.55-mile race in 13:35 despite taking a fall with a mile to go. After Wellesley's Billy Littlefield crossed the line in second (13:41), North took the next four places, within a span of five seconds. North's Mike Weinfeld finished sixth for the Tigers and tenth overall. Final score: 19-37. Here are the results of the top ten (as reported on DyeStat by North Coach Jim Blackburn):
1. Hamilton, NN 13.35
2. Littlefield, Wel 13.41
3. Ranti, NN 13.49
4. Goldenberg, NN 13.51
5. Lichtman, NN 13.52
6. Foreman, NN 13.54
7. Williamson, Wel 13.57
8. Pini, Wel 14.03
9. Cobo, Wel 14.07
10.Weinfeld, NN 14.18
The NNHS girls had the unenviable task of facing one of their toughest league opponents in the first race, but came away with a close victory, beating Wellesley 25-30. Carolyn Ranti won the race in an excellent early season time of 15:29, but North won the meet with its solid pack of Franca Godenzi (4th, 16:44), Nora Barnicle (5th, 16:49), Susannah Gleason (7th, 16:58), and Becca Park (8th, 17:02).

impressive! if 2-5 stays strong and tight like that, we can get brookline
It's a shame that Wellesley was down Dietrick on the girls side and Volkmann / Krieg on the boys. Score it out with them added in and both results flop -- maybe the BSC meet will be a more accurate meet :)
those are some heavy hitters to be missing - injured?
Or maybe Wellesley should bring their A squad and stop presumptuously talking about hypothetical events.
I was trolling for a reaction, but the whole "throw this guy in here", and "accurate meet", "results flop" stuff is silly. As Bill Belichick would say it is what it is. You can't throw names on a paper, that's why you race.
Agreed... Wellesley has been doing this for years. They send out less than 100% of their kids, hoping to rest kids who have coughs and sore legs (who doesnt' have those?) and then when they get beat, they say they didn't have 100% of their kids. Overtraining is no excuse for teams to use when they lose with less than a full squad.
Jon,
This isn't BCS but do you know when the meet between Newton South and Lincoln-Sudbury will happen. Two of the best girls teams in the region competing against each other in a dual meet is something I'd like to see.
Newton South competes against Lincoln-Sudbury on Oct 1, at L-S.
