Winning season for hockey, men’s swimming and women’s basketball

On Thursday, the Algonquin Ski Team competed in races at Ski Ward. The girls came first (with 2 skiers in the individual top 10) and the boys placed 4th.
At this point in the ARHS Athletics winter season, Boys Swimming/Diving is the Gonk team with the best record. They have won each of their seven official meetings this season. This includes last week’s wins against Nashoba (134-20) and Wachusett (98-64).
On the other hand, the women’s swim/diving team has struggled this season with an 0-7 record. Still, there have been individual successes for the team members. And Telegram’s coverage of the team’s losses to Nashoba 37-107 and Wachuset 58-86 last week indicate that at least one of the swimmers will travel to the United States.
Women’s ice hockey has the most wins for Gonk so far this winter (8) and is technically undefeated. Their game against Franklin yesterday ended in their second draw of the season (1-1).
Boys Ice Hockey had a week that perfectly reflects their season. The Boys have won 2/3 of their 9 games so far. Last week they beat Hopkinton 6-1, lost to Shrewsbury 2-4, then beat Minnechaug Regional 3-1.
Girls Basketball is on a four-game winning streak. Last week they beat Leominster 46-41 and Fitchburg 62-40. They are now 5-1. To maintain the streak, it will be necessary to beat undefeated Wachusett tonight.
Meanwhile, the Boys have been on the other side of the streak. Last week, they added two more to their losses column (Leominster 31-53 and Fitchburg 54-66), bringing their record to 4-4.
The fight beat North Middlesex 39-30 last week.
No results are released for the Wrestling Tri-Meet scheduled for Saturday or for the Girls Indoor Track Meet vs. Shepherd Hill that day. Boys Indoor Track are 0-3 after losing to Shepherd Hill 41-50. Gymnastics are 2-3 after their recent loss to Medfield 138.150-139.4
