HANOVER – Rob DeSisto and Nate Burns were in the same position with one event to go at Sunday’s Division I indoor track championships.
Both DeSisto’s Bishop Guertin girls and Burns’ Nashua North boys were within striking distance of a team title heading into the final race of the day, the 4x200-meter relay.
One coach left Dartmouth College with a championship; the other left wondering what might have been.
The Cardinals got the third place they needed in the relay to edge Londonderry, 74-73, to win the school’s 11th consecutive indoor title. North finished second in its relay, one second behind Pinkerton, which won its second-straight indoor title, 78-75.
Bishop Guertin got 30 points from senior Betsy Garnick, as she won the 55-meter dash (7.35 seconds), the 55 hurdles (8.33) and the long jump (17-6 1/2), while she also ran the first leg of the 4x200 relay. The Cardinals also got wins from Sarah Burke in the 600 (1:35.7) and Molly McCabe in the 1,000 (3:01.66) and the two helped the 4x400 relay team (4:02.67) as well.
“We modeled this meet for close to a month and we knew it would come down to the last relay,” DeSisto said. “We had to make some moves.
