BHS vs. NNHS Today

Newton North XC hosts Brookline today, as the defending D1 State Champion Warriors seek to wrap up another undefeated season and another Bay State league title. The Tigers go into the match-up with a 9-1 record, their one loss coming to Walpole at Cold Springs Park earlier in the season.

It will be the final home meet for NNHS seniors, including Justin Keefe, who has won four meets this year already. He'll have quite a challenge in Chernet Sisay, who is coming off his win at the McIntyre Twilight Invitationals, where he finished just ahead of teammate Mark Perry.

On the girls side, NN sophomore Evie Heffernan has run 19:52 this year and is the favorite for the individual win, but Brookline appears to have far more depth up front and is the favorite to win the meet.

Good luck to all teams, and best wishes for the class of 2012, who are competing for the last time at Cold Springs Park.

Thanks for noticing the meet. Not quite the drama the some years have provided but Brookline v. NN always gets the heart pumping.

Hope the fighting Chameleons are having a good season. Best of luck at EILs.
