After 100 meters of the girls varsity race at the Bay State league championships, Margo Gillis was clear of the pack and pulling away. The next 4900 meters didn't change anything as the Newton North junior won the individual title by 24 seconds, running 19:38 over the muddy course at the Coakley Middle School in Norwood.
The girls team title was much tighter, as Milton -- with three runners in the top seven -- eked out a miniscule advantage over Wellesley, 54-56. Newton North finished as sixth team in the girls race. Jaya Tripathi (21st, 22:07), Becca Trayner (33rd, 22:59), Devika Banerjee (51st, 24:21), and Emily Denn (53rd, 24:26) completed North's scoring.

In the boys varsity race, Weymouth's Steve Sollowin was similarly dominant, opening up a lead in the first 800 meters and gardually lengthening it throughout the race. Sallowin finished in 16:42, 28 seconds ahead of Brookline's Chernet Sisay in 2nd.
Brookline easily earned the team title, taking 2-3-4-10-14-15-16. Newton North had a strong showing, as Ezra Lichtman placed 5th (17:17), Jake Gleason ran a great race to take 7th (17:24), and Dan Ranti placed 11th (17:28). Mike Goldenberg (27th, 18:37) and Mike Weinfeld (30th, 18:46) rounded out the top five for the Tigers.

Good to see you at the meet Saturday and thanks for the coverage as always. One thing of note however is that you reversed the Brookline runner's name, it's Chernet Sisay.
Thanks. I'll post the video of the girls varsity race soon.
