Three upcoming meets - DCL and Coaches Invite. JH

Westford Academy has a good team, and it'll be tight, particularly on the boys side.

On Saturday is the Coaches Invitational, on Sunday is the Elite section of the coaches invitational. Lions fans will note that Bridget Dahlberg is matched up against Emily Jones of Bromfield. They had a very tight race in the All-States, where Bridget won in a record time. Emily's run a 10:34 two mile this season.

Many races will be very interesting in the Elite section - so if you come it'll be interesting. Note: the coaches aren't going to run the kids too hard on Saturday or Sunday, just giving some a chance to compete in spikes or concentrate on single events.
