The Marauder 9 has gone 1-2 in the last three games. A Competitive loss to a strong Westford and then some sloppy play against a good  Wakefield team. The Marauders did pull off a nice win against Watertown with an 8-3 victory on the road. Sophomore Pat MacKinnon got his first Varsity win on the mound. Ryan O’Byrne, Aiden Broderick and Chuck Tingos have had multiple hits and are swinging a good bat. Marauders play Reading today at 415 at Washington Park.

The Boys Spring Track Team faced off against Winchester on a brutally cold and windy night last Tuesday at Burlington High School. It was 34 degrees and windy as heck, but that didn’t stop us from putting up some great performances and scoring big against a strong Winchester squad.

Although Winchester took the win, the boys had standout moments across the board. Parker Brookins and Esmael Peavey went 1–2 in the high jump. Hugh Goulding and Daniel Qi placed 2nd and 3rd in the 400m hurdles. In the mile, Noah Geiger took 2nd and Eli Meretta finished 3rd. Takeshi Tatsumi placed 2nd in the 110m hurdles, and Tomas Wolff added a point with a 3rd-place finish in the 400m.

Belmont swept the triple jump with Malcolm Were in 1st, Leonard Dai in 2nd, and Daniel Qi in 3rd. Mark Chumack grabbed 3rd in the 800m, and Liam Phillips took 2nd in the 200m. Jared Rife and Ian Hettenbach finished 2nd and 3rd in the 2-mile. To cap it off, the 4x400 relay team—Eli Meretta, Mark Chumack, Reno Ragar, and Frido Meischner—closed the meet with a win.

Great work, boys! Bring on Lexington next Tuesday!

A huge shout-out this week to our gal throwers, who SWEPT the competition in the javelin, shot and discus on Tuesday vs. Winchester.  As well, congrats to Daphne Ries, who has started off the season strong with a big PR in the 100m hurdles.  And finally - senior yet track rookie Sarah Yu won the varsity 400m in her FIRST EVER running race, shocking the crowd and silencing the skeptics.  At this time, she is not accepting autographs, but stay tuned.

Big Win Last night v Needham and L-S

Girls tennis is currently 3-1 with wins this week over Wakefield and Watertown. The win over Watertown was in especially tough conditions. Ingrid Hellsvik stepped into third singles and had an impressive victory. Both doubles teams (Amy Chen/Avery Cai and Joy Son/Katia Polina) and Armela Mahadi (first singles) had solid and efficient wins. Giselle Fond earned a grueling victory at second singles in a match that lasted over two hours. Congrats to the whole team who supported Giselle throughout her long match with solid sportsmanship.

The boys volleyball team faced tougher opponents this past week, incurring losses against Woburn and Waltham, but spirits are high especially on the junior varsity team, who have reached new heights with their team chemistry and communication, with JV captains Jonathan Tarja and Kevin Xiang leading their team in their best performance yet against Waltham. The team’s next game is Friday April 11th against Boston Latin School.
