NN Boys Beat Weymouth; Girls Fall Again

The Newton North boys tightened up their pack (33 seconds separating their top 5) and took the measure of Weymouth on Tuesday to stay undefeated at 3-0. Meanwhile, the girls ran well but suffered their third loss of the season, dropping their dual meet against Weymouth despite strong performances up front.

Boys 25-33

In the boys meet, Weymouth's Steve Sollowin blitzed the 2.8M course in 14:29, more than half a minute ahead of North's Dan Ranti (15:00) and Ezra Lichtman (15:03). Jake Gleason (15:12) ran a great race to take 5th overall, while Mike Goldenberg (15:15) finished 7th and Justin Keefe (15:33) took 8th.

The boys are back in action on Thursday at home against Dedham and Framingham.
