A huge congratulations to the Norton boys cross country team who won the Tri-Valley League Conference meet and solidified their spot atop the conference. The boys went undefeated in the regular season and capped off an incredible conference season with a very close victory over the Westwood Wolverines and the Hopkinton Hillers. This was the first time the Norton boys have ever won the Conference MEET, even though this is their second title in three years. Two years ago the conference was decided by the duel meet record, and last year it was changed to having the league championship to decide the conference winner. The boys win was the closest win by any team on the boys side in at least 10 years. They only won by 4 points and fought off a very tough and young Westwood team and a formidable Hopkinton team, who both scored 65 points. The team scores are as follows:

Senior Captain Chris Wrenn was the winner of the race and was named the "RUNNER OF
THE MEET" and received a trophy for his efforts. Joey Annand placed 4th overall in a very
tight pack at the front with two other DS athletes. Freshman Austin Carroll and Senior
Captain Parker Cleathero finished right next to each other in the 13th and 14th places.
Finally, the unsung hero of this meet was Junior Thomas LeClaire, who sprinted past 8 runners in the last 200 meters to place 29th overall. This made all the difference in the scoring at the end. Thomas showed a great deal of heart during that finish! Senior Captain Chris Alves and Alex Domagalski also ran for varsity.
