District prepares for possible pilot program that would have all High School freshmen learning with the electronic devices.

Home losses pushes record below .500.
A pair of losses at Harris Field has Belmont High School's Girls' Lacrosse team battling to stay above the .500 level that would secure the team a return to the playoffs for the third year running. Against a defensive-strong Lexington High School led by goalie Sara Lehman on Friday, May 3, Belmont's sophomore standout goaltender Linda Herlihy kept the team in the second half with numerous solo saves. Trailing 7-5 early in the second, the Marauder's leading scorer, senior Katie Leinbach (who finished the game with four goals) took over by not just winning consecutive face-offs but scoring goals while holding possession. But after saving two shots – both hitting the post – a goal by Fiona Fitzgerald with 11:40 remaining in the game led to …

On that tragic day, many Belmont runners completed the course, others were stopped short of their goals.
It was suppose to be a day of accomplishment for two dozen Belmont residents: after spending months on training runs, suffering through the pain and injuries required to complete a distance race, asking friends, colleagues and strangers for donations to a favorite cause. For all that and many more reasons, running and then completing the Boston Marathon was to be the culmination of that journey and struggle. But not this year. While many Belmont residents completed the race and were on their way to pick up their bags and be greeted by family and relatives or just struggle to the Red Line to head back home, duel terrorist explosions shattered those achievements and, instead, made Monday, April 15, 2013 one of horror and disbelief that …

A photo gallery featuring shots from one of the most famous spots on the Boston Marathon route.
It is one of the most famous four-tenth of a mile in marathon history: Heartbreak Hill. Starting near the intersection of Walnut Street and Commonwealth Avenue in Newton, Heartbreak Hill is the last of the infamous "Newton hills" and one of the most difficult sections of the race. Roughly 20 miles from the start line, Heartbreak Hill got its name from famous marathoner Johnny Kelley. According to former Patch history columnist Allison Carter: Newton’s infamous Heartbreak Hill got its name from Kelley. During the 1936 marathon, he gently tapped competitor Tarzan Brown on the back as he passed him during this stretch of the race. Brown, infuriated by Kelley’s hubris, passed Kelley and went on to win the race. To the end, Kelley insisted he…

Want an expert's view of the race? Ask Payson Road's Becca Pizzi Neill: it's her 14th "Boston."
If you're a runner and would like some pointers on racing the 26.2 miles from Hopkinton to Copley Square on Monday, you probably couldn't find a better guide then Payson Road's Becca Pizzi Neill. Just in her early-30s, the day care provider will be toeing the starting line with other Belmont runners in the 117th Boston Marathon for the 14th time, her 33rd marathon overall. "I run for those who can't. I run because I can," said Neill. Wearing 13790, Neill will be seeking to improve on last year's time of 3:47.27. As for those who have always wanted to run a marathon, the best tip Neill gives to pre-marathoners is to "(l)isten to your body, it's your best coach. Be good to your body and it will respond." "I am trying to run a marathon in …
