>>>>> IF YOU CAN'T REMEMBER the last time Catarina Rocha lost a race, you're not alone. Neither can we. The Peabody senior has been on an historic run, starting with a fall season in which she won the state cross-country title. This season, she dominated the mile, easily winning the State Coaches, Division 1, and All-State meets, the second straight winter sweep of those races. The winter had other winners. From the Brighton boys' basketball team to the St. John's Prep swim team, the midpoint of the 2012-13 school year produced plenty of drama.
