Following several hours of training with Hopkinton Fire Department Medical Director Dr. Jeff Hopkins, along with many hours of development of a thorough operating guideline by Lt.

The Boys Cross Country team pulled off a big win in their first meet of the season against Westwood on Wednesday, September 4 with Hopkinton at 19 and Westwood at 44. Top three runners for Hopkinton were Kyle Driscoll, Evan Park, and Jack Cote.
According to Coach Fairbanks, the times were slow for a few reasons; 1) it was a 3.1 mile course which is longer than what the team is used to, 2) the Hillers didn't run until 5pm, 3) it was the first day of school, and 4) the course is easy to get lost on.
