The summer sun is dwindling, there's a crispness in the air, soon the foliage will turn a brilliant and vibrant hue and just like that cross country is here! Both boys' and girls' teams return solid rosters and have big goals for the 2012 season.
The Rocket harriers began preseason just over 2 weeks ago and this past Friday September 7th had their first competition, a scrimmage against Sharon High. Both teams came away with victories as the boys defeated the Eagles 19-38 while the girls dispatched of their competition by an equally impressive margin 22-35.
The boys were led by junior Adrian Amaya winning the 2.8 mile race in a time of 15:52. Finishing close behind were Tommy Kelley, Ben Baron, John Benner, Jeff Ewing, Alex Elman and Liam Walsh rounding out the varsity squad.
On the girls' side, co-captain Caroline Turner led the way completing the course in 18:19, good enough for second place overall. Backing up the senior stalwart were Margie Cullen, Julianna Donovan, Sarah Armstrong, Claire Connors and Rachel Blaustein.
The Rockets begin their regular season against Bay State Conference teams with a double-dual vs. Braintree and Dedham at Coakley Middle School in Norwood this coming Wednesday September 12th at 4:00 p.m.
