BUCKLAND, Mass. -- Mount Greylock’s boys and girls each continued their winning ways Saturday when the Berkshire County Nordic League returned to Mohawk Trail Regional High School.

 

But Lenox’s girls narrowed the gap.

 

Brandi Gill took first place overall in 29 minutes, 22 seconds to lead the Mounties to a 16-24 win over the Millionaires.

 

Margo Smith and Helen Greenfield placed third and fourth, respectively, and Emma Polumbo posted an eighth-place showing to complete Mount Greylock’s scoring.

Emma Jourdain led Lenox by finishing second in 29:28, just six seconds behind Gill in the mass start race.

 

Alice Huth was fifth, and Marion Huth and Maggie Sorrentino were seventh and 10th, respectively, for the Millionaires.
