North Boys, Girls Sweep Weymouth, Remain Unbeaten

The Newton North Boys and Girls won their meets against Weymouth yesterday at Cold Springs Park, remaining unbeaten on the season.

Dan Hamilton set the pace and led much of the way while battling Weymouth's Steve Solowin. In the end, Solowin had the better kick and handed Dan his first dual meet loss of the year. Solowin was clocked in 16:36, while Hamilton ran a personal best 16:39. Mike Goldenberg rebounded from a fall and a sub-par race at the Bay State Invite to place 3rd in 17:17. Sophomore Dan Ranti (17:42) was 4th, Mike Weinfeld (17:59) was 6th, and Jake Gleason (18:03) was 7th.

A special shout-out to Mike Weinfeld who broke into the top five and broke 18 minutes for the first time. Mike was a regular at our NSRP runs over the summer and his improved endurance and solid times are a nice reward to the dedication he showed. Congratulations, Mike!
