NORTHFIELD — Two weeks ago, Hamilton-Wenham cross country coach Steve Sawyer brought his teams for an excursion to Northfield Mountain. Why?For research.Let’s just say the trip ultimately panned out well. Thanks to the Rich siblings, the Generals were able to make history. Grace Rich placed first in the girls’ 5K race with a time of 20:10.18, while her brother Ben placed sixth in the boys’ race (16:48.51), as Hamilton-Wenham took home a pair of MIAA Div. 3B titles Saturday.“I told somebody the other day that we were in the mix,” Sawyer said afterward. “You never know with a course like this. A lot of kids burn themselves out on the hill. I told my kids: ‘Be careful on the hill. The race starts at the top of the hill.’ I knew on paper, we were competitive. I never would have called a 1-2-3 by my girls. That came out of nowhere, but I knew we would be at the top. I knew we’d have four or five runners in the top-15, we ended up with four. So, we’re all very pleased.”Hamilton-Wenham dom...

The court was trying to send him to a state hospital for help with his obvious mental health issue,...
