Four teams and several individuals seeking championships today around the state.
It's a Super Saturday for Belmont High School teams and individuals as they kick, run and swim towards team and individual honors.

Nor'easter pushes game to Saturday morning at 10 a.m. in Lynn, to join girls' swimming and cross country to see action on Nov. 10.
The nor'easter that swept through the region bringing a blanket of snow and wind gusts also blew into the air the carefully-laid match schedule for the Div. II North girls' soccer playoffs. The result is that Belmont High School's semi-final match with Newburyport High School set for today at 5:30 p.m. as been called off, postponed to Saturday, Nov. 10. Now the fan base that follows the girls will need to get up extra early Saturday as the MIAA has scheduled the match to take place at the ungodly hour of 10 a.m, according to the tournament website. The game will take place at Manning Field in Lynn. The change will create a Saturday tsunami of Belmont High sports teams taking part in the post season. Besides girls' soccer, Belmont High's …

Frosh harrier, team now to show their running prowess in Eastern Mass, states.
Belmont High School harrier Leah Brams ran away from the field as the freshman won the Middlesex League Cross Country Championships Thursday, Nov. 1, the first Belmont female runner to win the meet in 14 years. Brams raced the 2.5 mile course in 14 minutes and 57 seconds, winning by a comfortable 100 meters over the Woburn High pair of senior Molly Persky (15:10) and sophomore Gina D’Addario who were running on their home course at the Woburn Country Club. Brams, who is undefeated this fall, is the first Marauder to win the Girls League title since Marian Bihrle took the top spot in 1998 in a team record of 14:50. The Belmont Girls' team also had a strong showing earning 163 points to finish seventh, behind Lexington whose 45 points gave …

Ho hum, another record for freshman harrier.
Three for three. On a perfect afternoon for cross country – a dank and dreary Tuesday, Oct. 9 – freshman harrier Leah Brams toed the start line at Belmont's Clay Pit Pond Cross Country and at the end of the five kilometer (3.1 mile) race, the 9th grader broke her own course record which was 20:04. Running by herself from the start, Brams rocketed away from Belmont's opponent, Reading High School, and finished breaking the 20-minute barrier with a new record of 19:38. Reading's Lucy Armstrong came in second at 20:39 followed by Belmont's Julia Lenef in 20:52 and the Rocket's Sandra Sgori in fourth at 21:19. But the loss to illness of Belmont's solid scorers Lia Aftandilian and Madison Keits hurt the Marauders as Reading took the next five …

Brams sets course record; Boys benefit from a holiday, Arlington AD's situation to gain the upper leg on Spy Ponders.
Every time Belmont High School's Leah Brams runs, people are reminded of a Ben Affleck film. "Gone, Baby Gone." The freshman harrier smashed her course record by nearly a minute on Thursday, Sept. 27, as the ninth grader cruised over her 5 kilometer (3.1 mile) home course in 20 minutes and four seconds to finish first going away in a duel cross country meet with Arlington High School (0-3) at Clay Pit Pond. The Marauders, which defeated their neighbors, 23-3 are now 3-0 in duel meets. Challenged early by Arlington's senior standout Claire Doyle, Brams kept up a blistering below 6:30-per-mile pace and kept increasing her advantage over Doyle at every mile, winning by 50 seconds. Both runners bested Brams old course record of 20:58. Belmont'…
