Hockey Reviews

Well now that the winter season has unexpectedly come to an end we wrap up our winter sports coverage today by reviewing both boys and girls hockey. The boys finished 11-9-2 overall and advanced through the first round in D1 South by defeating Marshfield before falling to Archbishop Williams in the quarterfinals. Despite some key departures look for the boys to be right back in the mix next season. Now to the girls. They officially finish 22-1 and earn a share of their third straight state title after the cancellation of Sunday’s games. The girls definitely have pieces in place despite graduation to make another run at the Garden next year.

CI’s Marathon Endeavor Marches On

For Wellesley non-profit Community Investors the Boston Marathon is a big source of fundraising, having been allocated a bib each of the last 4 years. This year CI tapped Wellesley High girls basketball coach Glen Magpiong to run for their organization and were fired up for April until today when the Boston Marathon was postponed until September due to the ongoing Coronavirus concern. That being said the organization will still carry on and look to add even more funds as they continue their marathon bid.

Wrestling And Gymnastics Reviews

On our second to last day of the winter sports reviews we take a look at wrestling and gymnastics. Wrestling finished their season 2-9, but battled tooth and nail throughout the season. The team will look for even more success in 2020-21. Gymnastics meanwhile finished 6-2 on the year and then went on to finish second at the BSC meet, and 8th in sectionals. They will look to continue their success into next season.

Tomorrow we wrap up the reviews with both hockey teams!

Alpine And Nordic Skiing Reviews

We continue along with our winter sports season reviews today taking a look at the alpine and nordic ski teams. The alpine boys team skied to an 8th place finish at the state meet and will look to carry that over into an even better finish next season. On the nordic side the boys finished in 3rd at states while the girls finished in 4th. Look for both teams to be right back near the top in 2020-21.

Tomorrow we will review wrestling and gymnastics!

Indoor Track Reviews

As we continue our winter sports season reviews we take a look at the indoor track teams. The boys finished their season at 4-1, and then went on an impressive run, finishing 2nd at the BSC meet, 1st at the D2 meet, and 2nd at the All State meet. Look for the boys to continue this streak of success into next season. The girls finished up 3-2 on the year and then finished 3rd at BSC, 2nd in D2, and 7th at the states. Like the boys the girls will certainly be favorites to continue their success come the 2020-21 season.

Tomorrow we will review both the Alpine and Nordic Ski teams!
