Andrew Bolze lost six weeks of the indoor track season to a stress fracture in his right foot, but the injury didn’t keep him from winning the Division 3 and All-State 300-meter titles.

On Saturday afternoon at Reggie Lewis Track Center, the junior from Hingham further proved his foot was fine by adding the New England Championship to his resume.

“He’s worked so hard to get here, and to come back from that injury and be able to do what he has done, it is pretty extraordinary,” Hingham coach Fred Jewett said.

Unlike last week’s All-States — where he won from the third of four heats to set Hingham’s school record and the meet record (34.70 seconds) — Bolze entered the New England dash in the top slot and held on for the entirety.

And again, he set the school record by shaving off .01 seconds, crossing at 34.69, just ahead of Ryan Lucken of Newton North (34.81).

“I wanted the win tonight so badly,” Bolze said. “This week I could finally run against someone that’s a great athlete like Ryan . . . he really pushed me through that finish.”

Lucken attempted to catch Bolze on the final curve and through the straightaway, but didn’t have quite enough.

Bolze’s time stands as the fourth fastest in the country this season and qualifies for next weekend’s New Balance National Indoors in New York City, but, unlike his teammates running the 4 x 800, his season has been declared over as he will give his foot a rest.

“Not being able to compete at the beginning of the season made every event that I could compete in so special,” Bolze said. “It’s been a wonderful season.”

As Bolze looks toward time off before the outdoor season, the Harbormen senior quartet of Duncan Burleigh, Nick Neilsen, Bill Lumbert, and Grant Whitney already had their sights set on New York next weekend, but winning the 4 x 800 New England title was a bonus.

“They are really experienced, they are really disciplined,” Jewett said. “Training-wise, they do what they are supposed to do, they don’t get too nervous.”

The four edged out Ridgefield (Conn.) by 1.47 seconds to open the boys’ running events, crossing at 7:56.32 and also breaking the school record for the fourth time this season.

“We got third in the state meet, that was not satisfying. We wanted to win,” Lumbert said.

Hingham picked up the lead on the second leg and held through to the finish, despite pressure from Ridgefield at the final handoff.

Lumbert, on the anchor, created separation down the final straightaway and held the lead.

“I tried to go out faster and burn out all the other runners, but they stayed with me,” he said.

Ursuline sophomore Amy Piccolo will also take the out-of-state trip to run against the country’s best, but in the 400, not her usual 600.

She finished second (1:33.56) in the 600 after keeping a tight race, but Erica Johnson of Bay View (R.I.) crossed first at 1:33.37.

“A little bit nerve-racking that someone was right on me, but it made me work a little bit harder,” she said.

Other Eastern Mass. winners were Newton South’s Jung Park in the 55 hurdles (7.40); the boys from Acton-Boxboro in the 4 x 200 (1:30.51); in the 4 x 400, the boys from Lincoln-Sudbury (3:24.49) and girls from Lexington (3:56.12); Newton North’s Carl Whitham in the shot put (56 feet 10 inches); and Somerset-Berkley’s Adam Couitt won the high jump (6-9) after winning the Division 3 and All-State titles last month.

The top seed in the Division 1 North boys’ basketball tourney is out.

St. John’s Prep fell at home to eighth seed-Andover, 62-59, in overtime Friday night. The Eagles ended their season at 19-3, while Andover (16-6) moved on to the semifinals.

“It’s a great win for our community, it doesn’t have much to do with St. John’s, but more about the reliance of our kids,” Golden Warriors coach Dave Fazio said.

The game tilted back and forth throughout. St. John’s Prep had a 2-point lead in the closing seconds of regulation but Andover’s David Giribaldi converted a layup before the buzzer to force overtime. Giribaldi finished with 11 points after a scoreless first half.

Chris Dunn (8 points) made a pair of free throws to give the Golden Warriors a 3-point lead in OT, and St. John’s missed a tying 3-point attempt at the finish.

“Two great teams going toe to toe, and we were lucky to come out on top,” Fazio said.

Andover’s Sam Dowden led all scorers with 19 points and 10 rebounds. The Eagles were led by Josh Syska with 16 points.

The seniors on the Fontbonne hockey team won the girls’ Division 2 state title as freshmen, and after not making it to the tournament last year, Tuesday’s 3-1 win over Milton in the preliminary round granted them a chance to repeat.

“The girls are excited, I’m excited. I’m probably more nervous than they are,” said coach Bob Huxley, whose Ducks are 12-7-2.

Behind a play from the Ducks’ top scoring line of junior Shannon McIsaac, senior McKenna Russell, and freshman Katie Nolan, they broke a 1-1 tie with three minutes left in regulation at Shea Rink.

McIsaac and Russell teamed up on the forecheck, and sent the puck to Nolan waiting on the post to knock home the winner.

“Great team effort by the three of them together,” Huxley said.

Huxley doesn’t number his lines, but identifies with colors — gray, red, white, and gold — and the trio make up his gray line.

“[It] gives all the girls a better feeling about themselves and the team,” he said. “They are a color rather than a number.”

After the Ducks broke the tie, Milton attempted to match the pressure by pulling its goalie for an extra forward.

With the Wildcats attacking freshman goalie Jessica Olibieri (19 saves), the gray line again made its presence known as Nolan scored her second goal of the night. She picked up a rebound and one-timed it into the empty net with :03 left on the clock to advance to the first round.

Top-ranked Woburn High turned up its game Tuesday for the debut of one of the area’s biggest stages in girls’ hockey — the 8 Showcase.

The undefeated Tanners posted their 16th victory of the season, rolling past No. 3 Arlington Catholic, 4-1, on the first day of play at Pilgrim Arena in Hingham.

“I thought [the 8 Showcase] was great,’’ said Woburn coach Robert MacCurtain, whose team will face Acton-Boxboro on Thursday in the second round. “[Hingham coach] Tom Findley did a terrific job getting it organized. In terms of competition, it doesn’t get any better.”

The Tanners (16-0-3) faced a tough test in Cougars goalie Megan Messuri, who had given up only nine goals this season. But Messuri was tested early and often by a wave of Woburn goal scorers.

Junior Ashley Moran gave Woburn a 1-0 lead in the first period, collecting her 100th career point.

The teams traded goals in the second period — Erica Lissner for the Tanners at 13:26, and Jackie Sineoris for the Cougars with 58 seconds left — and Woburn carried just a 2-1 lead into the final period.

But Woburn struck just 27 seconds into the third period as Kayla Smith took a pass from Moran and scored her 31st goal of the season to make it 3-1. Moran then added an insurance goal — her second of the game — to seal the victory.

“All four were really good goals,” MacCurtain said. “I thought we played a strong game from start to finish, it was something we wanted to have happen against a good team like AC.”

Woburn goalie Christine Davis made 16 saves in the victory. Messuri finished with 17 saves.

Arlington Catholic (13-3-2) will meet No. 2 Duxbury on Thursday.

With their coach acting as meet director, the girls from Notre Dame of Hingham wound up clinching their first MIAA Division 2 indoor track title Sunday at Reggie Lewis Center.

“It’s because I wasn’t coaching, that’s why they did so [well],” said Cougars coach Rick Kates, whose team finished with 49 points.

Marshfield (42) finished second and Winchester (41) third.

Notre Dame picked up an early 20 points with wins in the dashes. Amanda Reilly ran the 55 in 7.33 seconds for first, while Isabelle DiMare (41.64) finished comfortably ahead of Needham’s Robin Kelly (42.26) in the 300.

The two teamed up with Shauna Owens, who also placed fifth in the long jump (16 feet 1¼ inches), and Gabby Kenyon to win the 4 x 200, to create a gap in the standings. The quartet’s time of 1:45.91 broke the school record.

“I knew these girls gave me a big lead, so I kept my knees up, kept my arms going, and crossed the finish line,” Kenyon said.

In the 1,000 meters, Dracut’s Karina Shepard destroyed the meet record by three seconds, finishing at 2:55.40. In the 4 x 800, Shepard made a final lap move from midpack to shatter the meet record by seven seconds, crossing the finish line in 9:38.82.

Marshfield’s Ellen DiPietro set a personal best in the high jump, clearing 5 feet 8 inches to earn 10 points.

“I wasn’t really worried about beating [Winchester’s Carrie Abraham], I was worried about [making] it for myself,” DiPietro said.

DiPietro teamed with Olivia Gaeta, Kate Spitler, and Kelsey Sullivan to finish second, two seconds behind Mansfield (4:03.48), in the 4 x 400.

On the boys’ side, a win in the final relay, the 4 x 400, gave Reading the title.

“They showed the 4 by 4 is what we are made of,” Reading coach Hal Croft said.

With less than 10 meters to go, Marshfield attempted to steal the race, but the Rockets’ JD Greenfield nosed ahead, crossing the line at 3:27.68.

“Knowing the win was on the line, it makes running the anchor leg of the 4 by 400 a lot easier, because I just need to finish,” he said.

The Rockets picked up another first place by Greenfield in the 600 (1:23.79) for 10 of their final 49 points. But they got off to a perfect start, winning the day’s first event — the 55-meter hurdles — with a 7.81 from Ryan Maney.

“That was the plan, it’s the way to start a meet,” Croft said.

The 4 x 200 team of Robert Federico, Maney, Dorian Johnson, and Aaron LeLacheur finished third behind Woburn (1:31.99) and Dartmouth (1:33.21).

Chicopee’s Alex Niemiec pulled off a remarkable double. In the long jump, he set the state record with a leap of 23 feet 4¾ inches. And in the high jump, he cleared 6-4 for the win. He had officials raise the bar to 6-9, but was unsuccessful.

It had been a morning of dead heats and shuffling standings, but no one — not even the winning coaches — expected the shakeup at the MIAA Division 1 Indoor Championships’ final race at the Reggie Lewis Track Center.

“We knew we had a chance, but you never know,” Cambridge co-coach Jamalh Prince said. “We are just as emotional and shocked as Lexington is. But again, you fight to the end. Fight to the end and the best person wins.”

Going into the girls’ 4 x 400, 5 points separated the top five teams. Third-place Cambridge, fourth-place Andover, and fifth-place Acton-Boxboro all had teams seeded in the final heat, hoping to grab 10 points and the meet title.

Less than four minutes later, it was the surprising quartet from Lexington, led by senior Robin Gross on the anchor, that outdistanced Newton North by three seconds to steal the race and jump from seventh into a co-championship with Cambridge (40 points).

Gross, who held the lead through the last lap, crossed the finish line in a season-best time of 3 minutes 58.51 seconds.

“It feels great, it’s really amazing,” Gross said, as she and teammates Camila Isern, Melissa Solomon, and Olivia Manickas-Hill began to relish in the championship title.

Earlier in the day, Gross had a personal record with a third-place finish in the 300 (40.96), while Isern finished third in the 600 (1:35.7). The seniors have both committed to run for Boston College next year.

But the Minutemen weren’t the only ones celebrating. Cambridge’s Maya Halprin-Adams, Jordan Poindexter, Tameka Vincent, and Dora Cronin finished fourth in the 4 x 400, earning 5 points to give the school a piece of the title for the first time since 2003.

“I don’t think we have any idea we had a chance at this, but you never know. You can’t play defense,” Cambridge co-coach Scotty Cody said.

According to Cody, it was senior Anchella Bernard who really pulled the Falcons through by placing in three events. She was fourth in the shot put (39 feet, 9½ inches), third in the long jump (16-6¾), and led off the first-place 4 x 200 team (1:47.6).

The Lowell boys scored in nine of 13 events to win their first Division 1 indoor title in coach Phil Maia’s 30-year tenure.

“We’re a team, we scored in nine events. It’s not just on the back of one kid. It’s just the fact that they are team,” Maia said.

The Red Raiders’ 4 x 800 team of Andrew Whitney, Mike Kalenoski, Patrick Coppinger, and Tyler Richards won in 8:01.13, finishing .51 seconds off the meet record three of the four of them set at last year’s championships, earning Lowell’s last points of the day.

Coppinger placed third in the mile (4:21.89). Ryan Fitzgerald broke his own school record, running a 35.64 for third in the 300.

In the high jump, Mike Holder cleared 6-4, but ultimately took second to Shrewsbury’s Rino Tonelli, who cleared the same height in fewer attempts.

Lowell picked up additional points with Johnny Abraham’s fourth place in the 2 mile (9:32.71), and fifth-place finishes by Kalenoski in the 1,000 (2:31.89), Colin Hoey in the shot put (49-8¼), and in the 4 x 200 relay (1:32.99).

Somerville’s Andre Rolim shaved a second off his seeded time in the 600-meter run to win his fourth consecutive Division 1 title at 1:21.97.

It was a photo finish.

The Hingham boys’ 4 x 200 team went into the race aiming to finish in about 1 minute 34 seconds and set a school record.

The group was a step slower than hoped.

Instead, the win at 1:35.45, went to the Marblehead quartet of Connor Green, Chris Wiley, Brett LeBlanc, and Josh Beloff, based on the finish-line camera at the Reggie Lewis Center.

“It was a frustrating race,” said Hingham junior Andrew Bolze, who ran the anchor leg.

But the meet was not.

Going into that relay, the Harbormen had a 35-point lead. Roughly an hour later, the boys from Hingham made it official and raised the wooden Massachusetts-shaped trophy as the MIAA Division 3 indoor champions. The Harbormen finished with 75 points, far ahead of Marblehead (30) and Westwood (28).

No camera was required.

“I am so pleased by the depth and hard work and courage of our athletes,” Hingham coach Fred Jewett said. “I can’t believe we scored as many points as we did, but, again, it’s a testimony of our depth and their desire to do a good job.”

After the last handoff, Bolze was boxed into third place, preventing a move until the final straightaway. But with a lean at the finish line, he sent the result to the officials.

“Coach came into the gym [before the relay] and said, ‘You guys won the meet, just run the race,’ ” Bolze said. “To have something like that, we didn’t have any pressure on us. It was just great to run out there with my friends.”

Bolze, Chris McDowell, Kevin O’Neill, and Ryan Aidan picked up 8 points with their second-place finish.

Earlier in the meet, Bolze earned 18 points for the Harbormen with the top finish in the 300 (35.81) and second in the long jump (21 feet 7½ inches). O’Neill finished fourth in the 300 (37.12).

Bill Lumbert won the 600 in 1:23.54 for another 10 points for Hingham, and Nick Neilsen did the same in the mile, winning in 4:26.28.

It was a great all-around afternoon for Hingham, as the girls used five top-three finishes to defend last year’s title. Hingham finished with 59 points to top Bishop Feehan (49) and Hopkinton (48).

“I’m so, so happy for the girls,” said their coach, David Jewett, who is also Fred’s son. “They worked so hard for this, they deserve it.

“It’s nice to see really good kids rewarded for working really hard.”

The win was highlighted by Julie McConville’s record-shattering performance in the 2 mile.

The Dartmouth-bound runner clocked a 10:38.46 to knock off 19 seconds from the meet’s previous best. Bishop Feehan junior Abby McNulty finished second (11:02.27).

“She is not only our most talented athlete, but also the hardest-working athlete I’ve ever coached,” David Jewett said.

The same duo flipped positions in the mile. McNulty finished in 5:00.92, barely ahead of McConville (personal-best 5:01.14).

“That was one of the best races I’ve ever seen, her and McNulty, in all my years of coaching,” David Jewett said.

Hingham picked up additional second-place finishes in the 600 by Morgan Sullivan (1:38.88) and 1,000 by Julia Noble (3:01.39). Sierra Irvin scored points by coming in third in the 300 (42.05).

Latin Academy coach Brian Leussler’s pre-meet rituals include number- crunching to figure out what exactly he needs from the boys’ and girls’ indoor track teams to win.

“I don’t know if other coaches do this. I create spreadsheets with every single [result] I can predict,” he said.

Heading into Day 2 of the Boston Public Schools Indoor track championships at Reggie Lewis Center, the girls were tied with O’Bryant at 52 points each. Leussler’s spreadsheet calculated he could expect 60 points from the final five events.

“So I have projections and I’m telling the kids all the time, ‘I need at least a fourth place from you or better, you need to do at least your best time,’” Leussler said. “I show the kids these spreadsheets ahead of time.”

In reality, away from little boxes and approximations, the girls picked up 68 points for a total of 120 to leave O’Bryant (83) in the dust in second place. The win — after an undefeated (6-0) league schedule — was the Dragons’ third consecutive meet title.

“All season long we’re looking forward to this. I tell the kids, ‘This has got to be the best race you’ve had, best time all season long,’ ” Leussler said.

The afternoon started with a showdown in the mile, but Latin Academy eighth-grader Catherine Van Even bested the Tigers’ Aislinn Donovan by four seconds to grab a first-place finish in 6:39.77.

“We have a lot of really good younger talent in the seventh, eighth, ninth grade, which is really good,” Leussler said.

In the next event, the 600-meter run, youth prevailed again as Latin Academy grabbed the top three spots for 24 points, led by freshman Britney Firmin’s 1:45.38. Seventh-grader Lila Musoil Clark (1:51.08) and Kara Atkinson (1:54.96) took second and third.

“I feel pretty good about my race. I wanted to have even splits,” Firmin said. “I thought we all did our best today, so it was nice that we went out there and did what we had to do today.”

The Dragons added another 12 points in the 1,000-meter run with a 3-4-5 finish by the trio of Lucy Donovan, Ashley Dixin, and Paola Villatoro.

In the relays, the quartet of Ashley Lewis, Atkinson, Firmin, and Leigha Mills won the 4 x 400 by 37 seconds over West Roxbury (4:59.13), crossing at 4:22.56. The 4 x 200 relay team came in second to West Roxbury (1:51.15) in 1:54.91.

“We graduated 10 [seniors] last year, so the girls’ team is really coming up and doing great,” Leussler said.

West Roxbury finished third in team scores with 67 points.

The Latin Academy boys also extended their win streak to three meet titles with 58 points. Again, it was O’Bryant challenging the Dragons by adding 27 points to its Day 1 title for second place with 51.

Coming into the first event, Latin Academy had 47 points and only placed in the 600-meter run and both relays. Tayo Stuppard earned one point with a sixth-place time of 1:37.01 in the 600. The relay teams combined for 10 points with third- and fourth-place finishes in the 4 x 400 and 4 x 200 respectively.

Dorchester finished third with 48 points.

Amy Piccolo feared the 29 minutes separating her two races in Sunday’s MSTCA Elite 24 Invitational at Reggie Lewis Center wouldn’t give her enough time to recharge.

Turns out, she had nothing to worry about.

The Ursuline sophomore grabbed the state’s fastest times in the 300- and 600-meter runs for the first double win of her high school career.

“It was tiring, but it was worth it,” Piccolo said. “I want to try and work on this double, because I think I can get it better.”

In the 600, she said she usually pulls ahead early and holds on through the finish, but this time stayed with the pack until 150 meters out.

“It felt weird at first, but then I had extra left for kicking,” she said. “I was trying to do my best without using too much energy.”

Despite conserving herself for two races, she took two seconds off her personal best, finishing atop the podium in 1 minute 34.06 seconds. Narragansett’s Kristin Webb took second (1:36.81).

Less than a half-hour later, Piccolo was through 200 meters and comfortably in second place, but wanted first in the 300.

She pushed through the final bend and straightaway to edge Domonique Hall of Shrewsbury (40.58) for the top spot, crossing at 40.53.

“I knew I was tired so I just hung on and tried to kick at the end and it was successful,” she said.

Peabody’s Catarina Rocha won the mile in 4:50.39, which broke the meet record she set last year (4:53.89).

“I wasn’t trying to do anything but run my best,” Rocha said. “All the girls ran a PR too, so that’s awesome, too. It’s a good day for everyone.”

Her sub-five minute finish qualified as the third-fastest time in the country this season.

“It’s pretty cool,” Rocha said. “I mean it’s early in the season. I doubt I’ll be third later on, but it’s kind of cool right now to be in there.”

Somerset’s Adam Couitt was named one of the meet’s outstanding athletes — along with Piccolo and Rocha — for winning the high jump and placing fourth in the 55-meter dash even after thinking it wasn’t one of his best meets.

Couitt cleared 6 feet 6 inches on the high jump, which was 4 inches off his personal best and season goal of 6-10.

“I don’t want to say I’m disappointed in it, because of course I’m happy that I won,” he said.

But after taking the last few weeks off to nurse a hamstring injury, he said he was pleased with just barely missing a PR in the 55-meter dash with a 6.61, which was good enough for fourth place.

“I honestly hadn’t even ran the 55 in a month or two, which is way too long,” he said. “My PR is 6.58, so I wasn’t too far off of it.”

Mike O’Donnell of Methuen bested the previous boys’ 1,000-meter run meet record by .58 seconds, finishing in 2:27.22.

Eric Beckwith of North Attleboro threw the shot put 59-1¼ for a convincing first-place finish. Seekonk’s Nate Robitaille and Evan Dombrowski of St. John’s tied for second at 55-5.

A week after setting the State Relay meet record in the boys’ 4 x 200, Woburn’s Chris Jewett, Preston Gordon, Anthony Nguyen, and Gavin Wilson placed first with a time of 1:31.99.

In the girls’ 2-mile race, Bedford’s Erin Dietz won her first major-meet individual race at Reggie Lewis with a time of 10:51.77.

In the girls’ high jump, Lincoln-Sudbury’s Lucy Alexander and Wachusett’s Amy Collins each cleared 5-8.

Streaks were extended after a double-overtime thriller at Matthews Arena as the Northeastern men’s basketball team walked away with its seventh consecutive victory, 95-91 over William & Mary Wednesday night.

Joel Smith scored 29 points, including 16 in the extra sessions, to help Northeastern improve to 7-0 in the Colonial Athletic Association for the first time since joining the conference in 2005.

Smith scored 11 points in the second overtime. His layup put the Huskies (12-7) ahead for good, 83-82, with 3:27 remaining, and his 3-pointer gave them a 4-point lead.

Jonathan Lee added 19 points and David Walker 17 for the Huskies.

Tim Rusthoven had 25 points and 11 rebounds and Marcus Thornton scored 23 points to pace the Tribe (7-11, 1-6 in the CAA), which lost its eighth straight.

“You can throw records out the window. You just got to come in ready to compete for 40 minutes, keep your concentration and your focus and play team basketball,” Northeastern coach Bill Coen said.

The Tribe came out of the break blazing, doubling their first-half production for 38 points in 14 minutes. A layup by William & Mary junior guard Brandon Britt cut NU’s lead to 60-57. Another Britt layup knotted the game at 68 to send it to the first overtime.

“You have to credit to William & Mary, they came out of the locker room and executed their stuff,” Coen said. “They got some easy baskets, got some confidence up and from there on it was a basketball game. We were very fortunate to come away with the victory.”

A 7-0 run in the second OT, sparked by a Smith layup and punctuated with a Walker dunk with 28 seconds left, gave NU the lead at 93-88.

It’s the Huskies’ best start in league play since a 9-0 run during the 1986-87 America East season.

In their first seven CAA games, the Huskies have already knocked off the top contenders on the road, including a 10-point win at George Mason to open league play, an 11-point win at Towson, and a 4-point victory at Delaware.

The Huskies took a 34-19 lead into the locker room, highlighted by a late 11-2 run, but they had to fight back after blowing that big halftime lead.

“I thought our first half, I was extremely pleased,” Coen said. “I thought we shared the ball as well as did and moved the ball around as have all year long. I thought our defense was dialed in . . . the second half got away from us pretty quickly.”

William & Mary shot 73.1 percent (19 of 26) in the second half to rally from a 53-39 deficit in the final 10 minutes of regulation.

“What I really admired [tonight] was the mental toughness and togetherness that we displayed,” Coen said. “A lot of teams after surrendering a 15-point halftime lead wouldn’t be able to find a way to win.”
