So last night I neglected to post a Raider recap as there were Raider teams in action yesterday as boys swimming, both cross country teams, gymnastics, and wrestling all participated in either sectional or state meets. Here are some of the results from yesterday.

Results from 2-20-16

Boys Swimming: Finished 9th at State Meet

Gymnastics: Placed 8th at Sectionals

Wrestling: Josh Cohen placed 3rd at states

Boys Cross Country: Thomas D’Anieri finished first in the 2 mile run

Girls Cross Country: Rachelle Parker finished 2nd in 300m dash

So no games today so no Raider Recap but I do have an answer to this week’s Raider Friday Trivia and that answer is… 2008. April 2008 to be exact was the first time that little league baseball was played under the lights at Reidy Field with an American League season opening double header that was actually umpired by yours truely! Anyway congratulations to Adam Pollock, winner of the two AMC gold passes.

So due to schedule constraints tomorrow I decided to post this edition of Raider Friday Trivia a day early. There is a prize this week and it is two AMC gold passes. The question is… what year was the first year that Wellesley Little League games were played under the lights at Reidy Field? Answer and hopefully a winner tomorrow night!
