DCL Championships 24 October 2008

NS boys and girls both won.
The boys were heavily favored despite losing Beck to a foot injury and having Wortham and Finch coming back from injury. Marcus ran a PR great race for 9th overall and 5th on the team. Emerson and Wil were close. Hopefully all will come together for the state meet. Of note, is that 8 boys were in the top 15 which probably means they are DCL allstars.
The projected tight race between NS and LS girls was as expected - very close with the race going back and forth at each turn. NS was a few points ahead in the middle with LS catching up a little at the end. Karys pulled away consistently until 2 LS runners, Hylton and Keklak, closed a little at the end. Dahlberg held strong in 4th, Reed in 6th, O'Keefe in 7th and Golovkina in 10th for the one point win. Next up for the varsity is MA state divisional championship on 8 November.
Sophomore David Melly won the JV boys race with a time (17:32) which would be varsity top 5 for all other 11 teams in the DCL and would have been 27th in the varsity race. Alex Waltz' time of 17:52 3rd place would have been 34th in the varsity.
Freshman Anna Laurence won the JV girls race in 20:49 with Madison Willert 3rd in 21:52. These would have been 26th and 38th in the varsity race.
Victor Moisescu was 7th and Dylan Royce 18th in the freshman boys race.
NS ran its frosh girls in the JV race.
This Saturday is the coach's invitational in Wrentham where other NS runners will get their chance.

From Andy Anonymous:
"Here is a brief JV results list for those who are interested. I only know the guys side though.
Guys top 7 finishers: Andy Woo, Alex Pearce, Kian Olia, Westford Acadamey, Eddie Morales, Sam Ebb, Balazs Varady. The times were generally not too fast with Andy and Alex finishing in 18:56 and the rest of the top 7 finishers between about 19:15 and 19:45.
Thats all I have for now if I learn more/see the results sheet I'll try to post something better and more complete but I can only tell you what I remember seeing from about when I finished the race."
