Peter Martin's memory goes back a long ways, but even he can't remember a meet in which three undefeated girls teams met so late in the season. The historic race included Newton North, Natick, and Milton, and it lived up to its billing, with three close meets. Unfortunately for the Tigers, they were on the losing end of both their meets, as Milton prevailed 25-31 and Natick edged them 27-29.
Natick's Becca White won the meet by over a minute, running 17:52. Teammate Caitlyn MacLellan was 2nd in 18:57. After Milton runners took the next two spots, North senior Becca Park crossed the line 5th in 19:28, followed by Carolyn Ranti in 19:30. Nora Barnicle was 8th in 19:55, Susannah Gleason was 9th in 19:57, outkicking a Milton and Natick runner to keep the meet close to that point.
Milton remains unbeaten at 8-0, while Natick moves to 7-1, and North falls to 6-2.
In the boys race, Newton North took the first six places to easily sweep the meet. The Tigers were led by Dan Hamilton (16:11) who won his fifth race this year. Junior Mike Goldenberg placed 2nd in 16:24, with senior Jared Foreman (16:44) 3rd, sophomores Dan Ranti (16:49) and Ezra Lichtman (16:49) and junior Mike Weinfeld (17:07) 4th, 5th, and 6th, respectively. The boys' record now stands at a perfect 8-0, the same as defending league champ Brookline.
The Tigers race next against Braintree and Norwood.

But how did the fighting Chameleons do?
Saw PA outdueled CA 25-30. Hope the kids raced well.
It was a good race, and was actually much closer than the score (we very nearly went 2-4-5-6, but our fourth runner ended up in 9th, just 10s behind 6th! Thankfully, no injuries on the course.
