In perfect racing conditions on the Concord River, the Middlesex boys' varsity crews faced off against perennial New England rowing powerhouse Belmont Hill.  In all four races, while Middlesex was able to maintain contact through the first 500 meters, Belmont Hill would eventually move out ahead.  However, the Middlesex crews posted faster times on the home course than the week prior, demonstrating that the boys are gaining speed.  The team hosts Brooks and Nobles on Saturday.
