Varsity XC Wins Third Consecutive NEPSAC Division II Championship
Roxbury Latin’s Varsity Cross Country team has won or been runners-up in eight of the last nine New England Preparatory School Athletic Council Division II Cross Country Championships. This year, Varsity secured its third consecutive victory, with the RL team placing first and securing several top spots in the race, clinching the coveted New England title.
Both the Varsity and JV Cross Country teams had successful seasons, both finishing undefeated. Varsity’s only loss came in the postseason with a third-place finish in the ISL Championship. The team quickly recovered, heading into the New England Championship and walking—or running—away with the top spot.
James Kerr (II) placed second in the meet, finishing with an impressive time—in fact, running 32 seconds faster than the winner ran on the same course in 2021. Class I boys Richie Federico, Liam Walsh, and Lincoln Hyatt finished 7th, 9th, and 11th, respectively. Eric Archerman (II) and Toby Harrison (II) placed in the top 30, earning 20th and 25th place, respectively.
