IF AT FIRST YOU DON'T SUCCEED, TRY AND TRY AGAIN

Members of the Needham High boys' track and field team were undeterred by the MSTCA North and South Decathlons being hosted on the same day as graduation.  In fact, they weren't even slowed by the cancellation of the District E decathlon that they were planning on participating in.  In an effort to see it through, we opted to hold our own decathlon Monday and Tuesday June 11th and 12th.  The occasion turned out to be quite the affair with Needham sprints and jumps coach Joe Karasch as well as alumni Peter Farlow and Mike Murowchick stepping up to the challenge.  The results were impressive to say the least with Farlow taking the win and scoring 5,815 points, Karasch finishing in second place with 5,003 points and sophomore Daniel Alpert edging out classmate Harry Hall for third with 4,568 and 4,527 points respectively.  Congratulations to all who participated!
