INDOOR TRACK 09 - 10

The 1st DCL meet is this Thursday 10 Dec. at Reggie Lewis.
Here's what I've found so far:

Lincoln-Sudbury v Westford Academy
Arlington v Bedford
Newton South v Waltham
Boston Latin v Acton-Boxborough
Weston v Concord-Carlisle

Does this mean that it is Wayland v Tyngsborough?

NXN Northeast Championships at Bowdoin Park

The NXN Northeast Championships at Bowdoin Park were held today. The top winning teams from each of 4 races around the country are flown to Portland, Oregon for the Nike Championships. Last year Newton South and Lincoln Sudbury girls went to Oregon. This year LS was favored in the Northeast but had a bad day along with NS. LS was 6th with 176 points followed by NS in 7th only 4 points behind. The big surprise was Bishop Feehan from Massachusetts winning the girls race. Congratulations!
Note that the LS total team time was 1.5 seconds faster than NS!

NSHS alumni XC and T&F reunion

The annual Newton South HS cross country and track and field alumni reunion is this Wednesday evening at the Finch's house. Same as last year.
6 to 9 pm but it'll probably go later.

Steven asks people to "bring some food items". He'll be cooking up a lot to bring.
Don't forget a mealworm for George. Uh.... no... he's gone into hibernation till indoors.
