After 100 meters, Walpole is well-represented at the start of the race. Dan Hamilton is in second, with Charlie Krasnow (head down -- what's up with that?), Peter Sun, and Mike Dorfman also in the picture. Wellesley's top runners are just out of the picture, biding their time. 
This year's meet featured a half mile loop around the lower fields, including a trip down the embankment (shown to the left). Unfortunately, the runners had to climb back up at the steepest part!
The girls lead pack climbs the embankment. Wellelsey's Faith Richardson is in the lead, with Jess Barton running comfortably behind. Carolyn, Haleigh, and Nora are all together at this point, just ahead of Walpole's Nicole Perry. Franca and Adina are out of the picture but actually not far behind. Newton's early lead would prove difficult for Wellesley to overcome.
Halfway into the race and Jess has opened up a 15-20 meter gap. It was to be short-lived, however, as she went down the wrong path in the woods and had to make up a couple of hundred yards to re-join the leaders. There's a moral in that story somewhere, but I sure don't know what it is.
