Good morning, Burlington!

I hope everyone enjoyed the day and evening yesterday, if you celebrated or if you had  kiddos coming to your door for candy. I’ve seen tons of pictures of our local kids (and grownups!) in their costumes, and it looks like everyone had a great time!

Before the sun went down, though, our Boys’ Cross Country team was running in the ML-12 All Conference meet. They ran a great race, beating out Wakefield and Lexington yesterday to take home the ML-12 All-Conference title. Congratulations to winner and League meet MVP Eric Sekyaya, and to the entire team who ran like crazy this season!

Sports

Score Update

• MSMS Junior Devils lost to Arlington 16-8 yesterday. One more game this Thursday at home against Reading.

Today’s Schedule

• There’s more XC on the calendar today, but I’m not sure what it is. I saw some times for a girls’ 5k/3k on Twitter, so I don’t think it’s that. But maybe? Or maybe the calendar is out of date. It’s a mystery! I hope we solve it.

That’s it for today. See you tomorrow!
