WRENTHAM — The 0.09 of a second that separated Janelle Solviletti from Sutton’s Jessie Cardin were enough for Arlington Catholic to sweep the first place spots in the Division 2 girls and boys junior-senior cross-country meet at the 37th Annual MSTCA Invitational
Saturday at the Wrentham Developmental Center. “It’s awesome. We never guessed that would happen,” Solviletti said. The senior said she took the lead roughly 600 meters into the 3.1 mile course and held through the corner turn before the second mile. As she rounded
through the snakelike bends before the final hills, Cardin picked up her pace and began to close the gap. “I just kept pushing, I felt good so I just kept going,” Solviletti said. “The hills were pretty hard . . . towards the end when that girl came up, I tried to kick some energy to
do it at the end. She broke the tape at 18:59.3. Cardin finished at 19:00.2.
