Notes on girls varsity race by Steven M.:

Today Newton South hosted Concord-Carlisle and Lincoln-Sudbury with all three teams coming in ranked top 15 in the state (LS #3, NS #7, CC #15 MSTCA) and the meet followed that script.   All three of these teams came into this meet undefeated within the DCL.  All three teams excuted fast team races and the order of the rankings coming in held in the scoring.

Lincoln-Sudbury remains undefeated in the DCL with a 4-0 record, Newton South is now 5-1 and Concord Carlisle is 3 - 2.  All three teams have challenges still waiting within the DCL as Newton South travels to Acton-Boxboro on Oct. 5th, Concord-Carlisle faces Westford and Weston on Oct. 5th and Lincoln-Sudbury will match up with Weston on Oct. 12th. 

Anna Rhatigan also remains undefeated in the DCL with a 17:48 over the 2.95 mile course on the Newton South campus.  Anna and Marika Crowe of Lincoln-Sudbury ran most of the race side by side and Anna only secured the win in the last 100 meters with Marika finishing in a fast 17:53.

At two miles the team race was still close between Newton South and Lincoln-Sudbury, but Lincoln-Sudbury finished the last mile in strong fashion to pull away for the team victory.

Concord-Carlisle also ran a fine team race with Megan Ratcliffe finishing 3rd overall in this strong field.

 Lincoln-Sudbury and Newton South were incredibly well matched through the top 3 three runners.  After that Lincoln-Sudbury won with team depth.

The 2nd and 3rd runners for both Lincoln-Sudbury and Newton South finished in a wave with Emily Knaul and Katie LaScaleia of Lincoln-Sudbury just edging out Lucrecia Aguilar and Anna Laurence of Newton South with all four finishing within 4 seconds. 

When you look at the depth of these three teams it was a great race to watch.
