Preseason Girls #17: North Quincy

17. North Quincy

North Quincy had a young team last year that still managed to place ninth at the Division 1B race. After gaining championship experience, they return almost their entire roster for the 2025 season.

They’re led by Ada Cote and Maddy McGillicuddy who both ran well under 20 minutes last season and qualified for the Meet of Champions finishing 13th and 17th in the Division 1B race. They’ll be two of the top returners this season in the Patriot League.

From there North Quincy can start to make up some ground on their competition. Caroline Zuffante and Zoe Nelson were 13th and 22nd last season at the Patriot league Championships. If they can both move into the top 15, or even top 10, they’ll be tough to beat. Amelija Slezas was 20th in the Junior Girls race at the Frank Mooney Invitational last season and returns as their fifth runner. If you’re looking for a dark horse team to bet on, North Quincy may be the one.
