It looked as if Brookline had the varsity boys race well under control after two miles and would cruise to another victory, but Bishop Feehan would put up an amazing fight over the last 1000 meters and both teams would end the race with 35 points. The tie breaker was Bishop Feehan's 6th man Alex Conway who finished 16th in the team scoring (20th overall) and was 9 scoring points ahead of Brookline's 6th man.

Chernet Sisay of Brookline won the varsity boys race and was the only competitor to run under 16 minutes. Sisay broke away from the front pack in the third loop and was charging so hard on the last uphill that the pace cart had to pull over and let him pass. Teammate Mark Perry finished second in 16:01.94, and Henry Dodge of Bishop Feehan was third in 16:04.76.

The Bishop Feehan girls put their entire scoring team in the top 21 and won a decisive victory with 38 points. Newton South was second (84 points) and Dennis-Yarmouth was third (130 points). Feehan posted a 19:17 average for a total team time of 96:27; over 2 minutes faster than any other team in the race.

Jordan O'Dea took the lead before the mile mark, splitting 5:21, and never looked back. The Dennis-Yarmouth junior cruised to a nearly 30 second win in 18:16, and looked very comfortable in the process. Olivia Brackett of Weston was second (18:43), and Katie Powell of Bishop Feehan was third (18:46).
-
Owen Gonser of King Philip destroyed the field in the sophomore boys race. Gonser ran alone for the majority of the race but still posted a finishing time of 16:16. To put the performance in perspective, he would have finished 5th in the varsity race with that time.
-
Jessica Cardin of Sutton took on a very good field of sophomore girls and walked away with the victory in 19:49. Arianna Maida of Bishop Fenwick was second (19:56), and Zoe Snow of Weston was third (20:09).
-
Shelby Aarden of Hopkinton made a move early in the 4000 meter freshman girls race and opened up a massive gap on the field. Aarden's cruised to the victory in a time of 12:28; almost 30 seconds ahead of second place.
