Last week was a great one for Algonquin’s Outdoor Track teams and Girls Golf. Other teams’ had either mixed results, or more poor showings.

Below are the latest results (some with links to more details), followed by this week’s schedule.

On Tuesday, the ARHS Boys and Girls Outdoor Track teams won their meets at Shepherd Hill (111-34 and 88-52). On Saturday, each team came in 1st place in the District 1 Relay competition with 20 Boys teams and 15 Girls teams. (You can find more detailed results on the teams’ website.)

The school’s Girls Golf team (a co-op based in Westborough) won both games last week (over Quabbin 29-16 and Burncoat 43.5-10.5), extending their winning streak to 5. (Their first game of the season was the only one they’ve lost so far.)

Titans Lacrosse teams each scored more wins than losses last week. The Boys beat Westborough 18-12 and Shrewsbury 15-7, then lost to Dover-Sherborn 13-12. The Boys’ record now stands at 8-2. The MIAA Power Rankings released before Saturday’s loss put the team at #12 for Division 1.

Girls LAX lost to Shrewsbury 12-6, then beat Wachusett 24-12 and Acton-Boxborough 15-11. Their record is 9-2. Their #20 ranking for D1 was released before their latest win.

Meanwhile, four Gonk teams extended their losing streaks. (For each of the following teams, the MIAA Power Rankings don’t incorporate their latest loss.)
