Deerfield’s Alex Gold edged Warren’s Martin Martinez to win the 3,200 (9:36.0.) at the Deerfield Invite Saturday. Then Martinez outkicked Gold (4:34.0) for first place in the 1,600. Grant won the team title (145.5).
Despite the fact they’d just won their fourth consecutive game — making them playoff-eligible — it wasn’t until Saturday night that Deerfield found out that it was one playoff point short of making the postseason.
