Watching over Wellesley portion of Boston Marathon course

April 16, 2015 by Bob Brown Leave a Comment

Wellesley photographer Mike Casey has way nicer cameras than we do, and he took to Twitter to share this cool shot of the helicopters that have been buzzing over the Boston Marathon course for security reasons. Better than seeing a gyrocopter on the White House’s lawn.

Some of the fastest Wellesley Middle School and High School runners earned the honor of competing in Saturday’s Invitational Mile events, which involve 4 male and 4 female athletes from each of the 8 towns and cities along the Boston Marathon course. The mile race for high school students and the 1 kilometer race for middle school students take place in downtown Boston on the streets surrounding the marathon finish line.

Wellesley High’s Ben Griswold and Chris Ulian combined to finish second in the team competition. The Wellesley Middle School boys’ team finished third, and 8th grader Olivia Vernon finished third among girls in her race.

Wellesley Middle School students run strong in Mini Marathon

April 15, 2014 by admin Leave a Comment

Wellesley mini marathon 2014More than one thousand Wellesley Middle School students took to the streets Monday for the ninth annual Mini Marathon.  Under cloudless skies, runners navigated a nearly 2-mile course that wound through neighborhoods around the school and on to the Sprague playing fields.

More students than ever competed in this year’s race, which is organized by the WMS Fitness & Health Department and the PTO, and celebrates fitness and school spirit.

The top three boy and girl runners in each grade were recognized with finisher medals and every runner received a handmade inspirational medal donated by former middle school parent Marshall Randolph in memory of his daughter Hannah.WMS mini marathon girls 2014
