It was yet another eventful season for our MA track & field athletes. Throughout the summer months, Bay State Running will feature some of our most memorable performances during the outdoor campaign. Here we feature Westford Academy’s Abigail Hennessy.
The talented middle-distance star proved this year she has a bright future in the years ahead. The outdoor season saw Hennessy earn titles in the 800-meter run and mile at the MIAA Division I Championships and the Meet of Champions. Among other accomplishments was a seventh-place finish for the 800m at the prestigious Glenn B. Loucks Games in New York. The performances were highlighting here occurred at the New Balance Nationals in mid June. Competing against the country’s finest, Hennessy produced PRs in both her specialties, clocking 2 minutes, 9.82 seconds for the 800m and 4:45.70 for the mile. Her effort in the mile was a three-second best and placed her ninth overall.
