Pentucket sophomore Phoebe Rubio took top honors with a fine time of 18:47 on the 2.94-mile Maudslay Park course and the Sachems took three of the top five places but they couldn't keep pace with Newburyport's depth and dropped its first meet of the season, 29-30. The Newburyport boys also handed Pentucket its first loss as well.

Led by Leyla Kvaternik, the North Andover girls came in fifth at the Frank Kelley Invitational. Kvaternik, who was the top sophomore, in the race, was sixth in 19:57.55 on Wrentham's 5K course with teammate Abby Mastromonaco taking 12th. The Knights were just 19 points out of second place despite missing Courtney Dalke, who was at a band concert.

Pentucket freshman Audrey Conover continued to look impressive, finishing third with the same time as sophomore teammate runner-up Phoebe Rubio as the Sachems beat North Reading 25-32. Both were clocked in 18:20 for 2.74 miles.

Phoebe Rubio placed first as Pentucket took the first four places in a convincing 19-37 victory over Masconomet. Twin sister Emily, a newcomer to cross country was fourth.
