It was a pretty action packed and thrilling weekend of cross country action in Massachusetts. The Barnstable Fairgrounds were the proving ground for a lot of top ranked teams on Saturday and there was a lot of buzz in the air going into the Varsity Races. One of the biggest shakeups came from the Boys Varsity race and the meeting of the squads from Wellesley and St. John's. After a strong showing at Manhattan and no major performances from the Wellesley squad, we felt the boys from St. John's were the clear cut favorites on Saturday night. Clearly the Wellesley Boys weren't listening and proved us wrong by taking team title confidently over St. John's. They now sit pretty as the #1 team in the state. The battle for the Top D2 Boys team only got more interesting on Saturday night, after we saw #1 Hopedale and #2 Wakefield tie and Hopedale win on the 6th man tiebreaker!
For the D1 Girls team rankings, Hopkinton Girls move up to the #1 team in the state after grabbing the win at the Twilight Meet with their 25 sec 1-5 spread! No real changes in the D2 rankings, as #1 Milton Girls put on another clinic and won the Twilight Meet with a stellar 29 points!
