I can pull a team together,’” she said, then laughed. “I didn’t quite know what I was getting into.” After the Board of Selectmen got on board and the word got out that there would be a second triathlon, it seemed that everyone got interested again, Wilson said. “It was just word of mouth — the principal at the school told the teachers about it, and one of the teachers became a co-chair,” she said. “And my husband is a family physician and has a lot of contacts, and when he was at the nursing home, he asked a few people, and they came on board.” Wilson, who is from Los Angeles and grew up living in cities, said she now loves the familiarity of a small, quaint community like West Brookfield. “It’s easy to get the word out locally when you have local people doing it,” she said. “If I were organizing a race in a larger area, I wouldn’t get the banter back and forth about it at the farmer’s market.” The adult sprint-distance triathlon com- prises a 1/4-mile swim in Lake Wickaboag, a 12-mile bike ride through the back roads of West Brookfield and New Braintree, and a 3- mile run that ends back at the lake. The kids’ race consists of a 100-yard swim in the lake, a 1/2-mile bike ride, and a 300- yard dash. Wilson said she originally hoped to make the triathlon a fundraiser, but learned that last year the organizers barely broke even. She still hasn’t given up hope, though. “I really wanted to see if we could donate to tornado relief,” she said. “It would be spe- cial to me if we could do that.”

BY NICK ETHIER SPORTS STAFF WRITER AMHERST — There were many similarities between Leicester and Wahconah in their state semifinal softball game played June 16 at UMass-Amherst. The Wolverines collected seven hits, the Warriors six. Leicester and Wahconah also both had strong pitching and plenty of well-executed defensive plays. The biggest difference was the Warriors found a way to scrape across a couple of runs, while the Wolverines were shutout. Leicester lost 2-0 to finish its sea- son at 19-6. “They were able to get a hit when they needed it and we couldn’t,” Leicester coach Dave Stanick said. The game remained scoreless until the bottom of the fourth inning when Wahconah put two runners on base.
