Parker Charter returns four of their top seven from a squad that scored 25 points at the Division 3C meet last year and 52 at the Meet of Champions. They won both and could be even better this year. They’ve got almost everything you need to be a top contender throughout the Bay State.

At ten we have the Cambridge Rindge and Latin girls, and they have a tough task if they want to stay near the top of the rankings. Up front they have one of the best, if not the best, top threes of any team in the state. Sophia Jaunes Seto, Fiona Litman, and Violet Smith will get the Falcons off to a great start.

Oliver Ames returns four of the top seven from a team that won the Hockomock League Meet in an impressive score of 33. Up front they’re anchored by one of the best runners in the state. Landon Sarney comes in with a PR of 16:07 but had a massive outdoor season where he ran 9:15 for the two-mile. Expect a low number up front.

The third-place team from the Division 1B meet last year returns its top six from last fall. Not only that, but those six were all underclassmen last season making Concord Carlisle one of the top teams to watch this season.

This season the clippers return five of their top seven from last fall after winning the Division 3A race. Freshmen Katherine Murray won that race and was third at the Meet of Champions and boasts a 18:26 5K PR.
