... And finally, the Internet is down on the mountain, of course, so this is coming to you live and in color from the Courtyard Cafe at Dartmouth. ...
That certain Hanover High School junior wasn't particularly happy with her run yesterday but it was still enough to her team away with the New Hampshire Meet of Champions championship down in Nashua. The meet featured the top six cross country teams from each division of last week's state championship. (Hanover is the middle division.) Next on tap: The New England Championships, slated for Saturday in Manchester, NH. It sounds as if Glastonbury, Conn., may be the team Hanover will have to hold off to repeat last year's title.
With winter just around the corner – there was ice this morning on a wee pond I pass by on my way into town – progress continues at a fast pace on Dartmouth's new baseball stadium. (It's not officially called a "stadium," but a certain Hanover High School freshman , when walking past it yesterday: "It's just like a small minor league stadium.") If everything continues as planned, the installation of seats could begin as early as tomorrow. (click photos to supersize)
