Boys’ cross-country
After claiming its third straight Division 1 title behind a mix of veteran stars and new depth pieces, Brookline finishes where it started: at the top. No. 2 BC High had overtaken the Warriors for the final four weeks of the regular season, after a statement victory at the Ocean State Invitational in late September and a third-place finish at the Manhattan Invitational in mid-October. Ultimately, the Eagles fell just 9 points shy in their quest to dethrone Brookline at All-States. Concord-Carlisle finishes third, winning the Frank Kelley Invitational and the Division 1B qualifier meet, and placing fourth at the All-State meet. Likewise, No. 4 Natick was second in the Bay State, and fifth in D1.

Girls’ cross-country
After delivering an improbable Division 1 title despite the absence of injured star junior Abby Hennessy, Westford finishes No. 1 in the poll. Little separated the top seven teams in the rankings, and Lexington earns the No. 2 spot after finishing second to Westford by just 2 points at All-States, after placing second at the Division 1A qualifier race the week prior. No. 3 Wellesley placed third at All-States, falling 9 points short of Westford, and also won a hard-fought Bay State title. No. 4 Billerica made a statement early in the season with a victory at the Ocean State Invitational and finished fourth at All-States, and the underclassmen-led squad will enter 2025 as the team to beat in Division 1. No. 5 Weymouth was arguably the best regular-season team in the state, but the senior-laden team finished seventh at All-States.
