North Boys, Girls Sweep Braintree and Norwood

Newton North took care of business on Tuesday, as both teams ran to easy wins against Braintree and Norwood at Braintree in their final dual meet before the BSC championship meet on Saturday.

The Newton North girls' top five ran in a pack and finished together in places 1-5. Franca Godenzi was credited with the win in 21:50, and was followed across the line by Nora Barnicle, Susannah Gleason, Becca Park, and Carolyn Ranti.

The Newton North boys don't appear to have been quite so organized, but the result was the same as the Tigers took the top five spots. Dan Hamilton won the 3-Mile race in 16:29, followed by Mike Goldenberg (16:52), Jarad Forman (17:03), Dan Ranti (17:26), and Ezra Lichtman (17:27). The boys record now stands at 10-0, setting up a showdown next week with 10-0 Brookline at Larz Anderson Park.

But first there is the league meet. Newton North is "old school" and I can't imagine them taking it easy at the league meet. Brookline will rest some of its varsity runners at the league meet. Will that hurt North when the two teams clash on 10/28?

David Goldenberg? Do you mean Mike Goldenberg?

Thanks for catching that! I've corrected it.

Speaking of Larz next week, what is the girls course record there?

the course record was set yesterday by Becca White, who broke her own record of 18:11 with a time of 17:24

I don't think that record will be in jeopardy for quite some time. Will White get the Houghton's record on Saturday though?

Can White go under 18:00 at Franklin Park?

Old School all the way! League Meet should have the best from each team imo, regardless of records for duel-meet season champ
