EASTERN MASS
Franklin Park 5 k course – same course used for HS, College and
Open 5k’s
Nice day, nearly 55 degree, slight breeze.
Boys Div. I –
Eric Critzer (Falmouth HS) lead for most of the race, but sophomores Chris
Barnicle (Newton No) and Khalid Abdi (Brockton) passed him with about
800

to
win in 15:53.60. Abdi was 2nd in 15:57.3 while Critzer hung on for 3rd

Hanover was 2nd with 126 pts.

Girls Div. II –
Oliver Ames senior Sara Powell cruised to a PR run over the Franklin Park
course with an easy 17:49.3 victory. Powell’s teammate Katy O’Brien
was 2nd
in 19:11.4
This was a significant drop for Powell who ran 18:26 over the same course
at
the McIntyre Meet the first week in October. She won the 2001 D-II race
in
18:40.5. Both of Powell’s races over the Franklin Park course were
runaways.
The closest person/time this year was Ari Lambie, (Bromfield) in another
division in McIntyre meet when she finished one second faster than Powell,
18:25. (see Cent Mass D-II Girls)
Reference: Natasha Roetter (Lexington) (East Foot Locker Champs and top
Natl.
placer) ran 17:27.2 over same Franklin Park course last year winning the
EMASS D-I race by 32 seconds. Powell and Lambie will not run head-to-head
in
Mass., but will be in the same x-c race for the first time ever at Foot
Locker East.
The team race was tough as Franklin 45 pts. (5-6-8-10-16) just beat Oliver
Ames’ 55 pts (1-2-12-14-27).

pts.
CENTRAL MASS X-C Gardner Golf Course 2.9
Boys Div. I-
Dan Sullivan (Wachusett) 14:46 nipped teammate Michael Banks (14:47) as
they
lead a 1-2-5-6-9 sweep of the team title. Nashoba was 2nd with 124 pts.

2nd
with 90 pts.
Girls Div. I –
Jr. Brooke Perron (Quabbin Reg.) won by 23 seconds as she ran 17:51 for
the
victory.
Wachusett 80 pts. Nipped Quabbin Re. 89 pts. For the title.
Girls Div. II –
Bromfield/Harvard won the team race going away with 32 pts. (1-2-6-7-16-17)
placers.
The story of the day was Bromfield’s Ari Lambie won ran 16:00 over
the 2.9
Gardner golf course. Her teammate Kristen Ricci was 2nd in 17:59. Lambie’s
time would have placed her 23rd in the Boys D-I race and 11th in the Boys
D-II race. This is bringing back ghosts of another Bromfield grad (Lynn
Jennings) who was dominant in the mid-70’s over the same course.
WESTERN MASS X-C – Northfield Mountain 5k
Boys Div. I-
Amherst Regional was unbeatable here as they went 1-2-3 with Ian Marcus
(17:15), James Dietz (17.19.6) and frosh Brian Hunt (17.24) leading the
way.
Evan McNamara was 5th and Dan Lesser was 17th to give Amherst Reg. A mere
28
pts. Taconic HS (Pittsfield) was 2nd with 96 pts.
Boys Div. II –
Andy Pitts (Southwick-Tolland HS) made a shambles of the course as he
cruised
to a 16:12.9 time, some 51 seconds better than Mohawk Trail (Shelburn
Falls)
sophomore Ross Hunter (17:04.8).
Mohawk Trail won the team title with 41 pts. With Monson Jr/Sr. 2nd with
99
pts.
Girls Div. I –
I do not know if the girls or boys ran first, but Amherst Regional was
more
dominant in the girls race placing 1-2-3-5-6-10-13. Soph Spring Greeney
won
in 20:35, with Anna Shamey 2nd (21:23) and frosh Niina Heikkinen third
(21:28).
