More than 2 dozen runners (and some pups) loped around the Elm Bank Reservation road beginning at 6am — a bit after the official summer solstice — on Wednesday to kick off summer in Wellesley. Though we guess you could argue that the end of the public school year in Wellesley earlier in the week really launched summer…
With the school year coming to a close this week, Wellesley High track and field athletes took one last final — at the New Balance Outdoor Nationals in Greensboro, N.C.
A select group of Raider athletes took part, including a mix of senior and junior boys (Thomas Weiss, Ben Matejka, Jamie Mazzola, Sam Gilman) who joined forces to take 8th place in the 4x1mile relay in a time of 17:51.34. Wellesley High freshmen did themselves, proud, too. Abby Comella placed 5th in the freshman 400-meter run with a time of 56.84. Freshman Zach Barry ran the 13th fastest freshman mile in just a shade over 4:35, and doubled up with a freshman 2-mile time of 10.14.23. Allison Sibold ran a 5:41.82 in the freshman mile for girls.
In field events, Julia Jordahl-Henry placed 11th with a high jump of 5-7 in the championship event, while sister Anna Jordahl-Henry finished 14th in the Emerging Elite category with a jump of 5-3. Cassandra Winkelman came in 20th in javelin.
The Wellesley High School girls’ golf team on Wednesday afternoon won the MIAA state championship, edging Notre Dame by a score of 383 to 385 at Heritage Country Club in Charlton!

The team returned most of its golfers from last year’s squad, which was the runner-up in the championship.

Monday was quite the wild night of baseball. While I was busy at Fenway watching the Red Sox knock off the Phillies in 12 innings and keeping an eye on the Major League Baseball draft to see when my Florida friend’s son would get selected (Cash Case, 5th round pick, Cincinnati Reds), Wellesley High Sophomore Henry Weycker pitched a complete game shutout in Lynn to lead the Raiders over Lowell by a 1-0 score and set up a showdown vs. Taconic on Saturday at Holy Cross for the Division 1 title. Senior Jack Waisel’s sac fly scored Brendan Dolan, who had reached base on a double in the sixth.
