After starting the season with three tough meets, the Rockets finally had room to breathe. Wednesday October 2nd, the boys team got decisive wins over Natick (21-36) and Norwood (15-50) to improve their win/loss record to 5-2. Employing a pack strategy, the Rockets were led by sophomore John Benner getting his first career win and running 17:38 for the 5k course at Cutler Park. Finishing just steps behind Benner was teammate Drew Khalaj clocking in at the same time. Tommy Kelley finished in 4th place overall for the Rockets with Derek Howes in 6th and Alex Turner in 8th.

While the boys meet was far from close, the girls meet was a blowout. A pack of six Needham runners let Natick's Sarah Lagan go early and made no effort to reel her in as they ran to a blanket finish with Olivia Corkery leading the way in 21:43. Behind Corkery were teammates Sammy Lerner, Kaleigh Hughes, Katie Horton, Sarah Armstrong and Margie Cullen finishing in 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th and 7th place. The Lady Rockets beat Natick 20-41 and Norwood 15-50.
