NNHS Loses to Brookline in Dual Meet Finale

Newton North wrapped up its dual meet season on Tuesday with a trip to the hills of Larz Anderson Park.

In the boys race, the Tigers were no match for the host Warriors. Brookline's Chernet Sisay, Mark Perry, and Romey Sklar took the top three places, clinching the win before NN's first runner crossed the line. Dan Ranti and Ezra Lichtman had strong races to finish fourth and fifth, but Brookine took 10 of the next 12 places. Final score: 19-40 for the home team.

The boys finish the season with only two losses to Weymouth and Brookline. The team now looks forward to the BSC Championship meet at Norwood on Saturday, followed by the coaches meet, and the state class meet.

wreptiThis is believed to be Brookline's first dual meet win over NN on the distaff side since 1979 when Bob Glennon coached the Tigers for a year when Coach Martin was teaching in England. It is the only loss to Brookline in Coach Martin's storied career as XC coach of NN. The "living legend" was honored before the meet and received a walking stick to honor from the Warriors to honor the occassion.

Of course this was all posted on track talk but just in case some of Jon's readers only get inforamtion here I'd thought I would post it.

will sampson be back for state meet?

ankit said...

does brookline have a new course or are those just flying times? and by new, i mean has it changed anytime in the last 7 years...

Clay said...

I was wondering the same thing as Ankit. New course distance?

Jon Waldron said...

Mike - congrats to the Warriors, and thank you for the additional info. I wish I could have been there to see Peter Martin honored.

Ankit and Clay -- it's the same course. Brookline is that good!

Thanks, Jon. Good luck to CA. We'll be at EILs next Friday but of course we'll be cheering for Joe Connolly and the Beavers.

Hopefully Christian will be toeing the line at the BSC meet and we'll go from there.
