| Norton's Outstanding Athletes of the Meet - Katie Bradley & Joey Annand with Austin Carroll who placed 7th Overall! |
At the 2016 Tri-Valley League Cross Country Championship at McCarthy Park in Medfield, Junior Katie Bradley and Senior Captain Joey Annand both won the varsity championship races by 3 seconds over the #1 runners from Westwood. On the boys side, it was a 3-way race between Westwood's Conant and Dover-Sherborn's Phelan by mile 1. By mile 2, Joey had taken the lead and continued to push the pace for the remainder of the race, with both Conant and Phelan in tow. With only 1 second separating 1st-3rd, Norton's Joey Annand dropped the hammer with 400 meters to go and took home the victory.

The girls varsity race unfolded in similar fashion with Westwood's Ashley Walker leading for most of the way with her teammate Conant and Katie Bradley in tow. With a great deal of grit and patience, with about 200 meters to go in the race, Katie Bradley surged and was able to take home the win and title of TVL Champion as a junior! Both Katie and Joey were able to be honored with the "Outstanding Runner of the Meet" Awards.
