The dream matchup was set and it looked as though the state's two most celebrated female cross country runners were going to run each other into the ground to send a message to each other and the rest of the state. But it was Newton South's Rebecca Grusby who stole the limelight at Saturday's Bay State Invitational.
Coverage
Nick Carleo put on a superb display of just how to run a controlled race, well out in front, at Saturday's Bay State Invitational. The defending Div. 2 state champion out of Newburyport was relaxed the entire way and still had plenty left at the finish line in what was his first big race of the season. Carleo was barely breathing hard after tearing through an opening 4:46 mile and destroying the Kevin Black field with a sterling time of 15:40.12 on the slick 3.1-mile Franklin Park course.

The month of September has come and gone, and now as we enter October the days are becoming shorter and shorter. As daylight fades, the opportunities to toe the line become more and more precious. Teams have worked out their kinks and, over the past few weekends, began to test their strength. This weekend’s Bay State Invitational will serve as another important stepping stone in the long fall campaign. Hosted on the formidable Franklin Park XC course, the meet showcases the challenges of both “The Wilderness” and “Bear Cage Hill”. It will give many teams a chance to preview the All State course, but they must be prepared to handle the competition and terrain.
