Despite a first-place finish by Ian Whittall ’14 in two races this week, Andover Boys Cross Country failed to run well enough as a team to beat Choate Rosemary Hall on Saturday and St. Paul’s School on Wednesday.
Andover lost 39-21 to Choate and 36-23 to St. Paul’s in its first two dual meets of the season.
Whittall outpaced Choate’s number one runner by just three seconds, crossing the finish line with a remarkable time of 17:25 on Choate’s hilly 5k course.

Andover Football opened up Saturday’s game against Choate with a score on its first drive, but two Choate touchdowns within the next 10 plays quickly crushed Andover’s momentum. Choate went on to score six more unanswered touchdowns and won the game 53-7.

The win improves Andover’s record to 5-0-1.

While Tabor’s goalkeeper aptly blocked Chin’s rocket of a shot, Dylan Mott ’15 was in perfect position to slot the rebound in the back of the net.
Minutes later, Andover was awarded a...

In the second set of the match, however, Andover had a mental lapse, allowing St. Paul’s to push ahead for a 14-11 lead. Coach Clyfe Beckwith called a...
