SHS’s Andre Rolim edged out the competition with a winning time of 2:03.9 in the 800m at last Wednesday’s meeting with the Cambridge Falcons at Dilboy Stadium.

Overcoming rainy weather and a 12-point early deficit, the Somerville High School boys track squad surged back to earn 71 to 65 victory over longtime rival Cambridge last Wednesday at Dilboy Stadium, finishing the season 4-0.

It was the last Greater Boston League dual meet of the season, and the previously undefeated Cambridge team came prepared. “Cambridge always has a strong team and Wednesday was no different,” reported Coach Dave Dickerson. “Our guys showed their resiliency by coming back strong in key events before sealing the victory in the final event, the 4 x 400 meter relay.”

“Having the meet come down to the final event is always exciting,” Dickerson enthused, “especially versus such a quality team. Adding the Greater Boston League Championship to the equation made it that much more special to our guys. It was an exciting finish to the season.”

The GBL all-league meet is coming up on Thursday 5/19, and there will be weekend meets before the MIAA Eastern MA Championship at the end of the month.
