Meet Hub: New England Outdoor Track and Field Championships
Runners to Watch: Lexington’s Jane Conrad
The top runner on the #1 ranked team in the state returns this season as a sophomore looking to assert herself amongst the state’s best. Jane Conrad was seventh last year at the Meet of Champions and fifth at the Division 1A race. Just looking at the numbers, the margin for improvement is rather small. However, after a strong freshmen season on the track, Conrad can look to close the gap on runners like Greta Hammer and Abigail Hennessy.
Runners to Watch: Westford Academy’s Emily Wedlake
A lot of the talk this off season focused on the record-breaking performance of Abigail Hennessy of Westford Academy. But as we mentioned in the team rankings, the Ghosts won the Meet of Champions last season without her. The driving factor behind their success last season was incoming senior Emily Wedlake, who was fifth at that race.
Runner’s to Watch: Brookline’s Liam Hartmann
As a sophomore last season Liam Hartman was 16th at the Meet of Champions and helped Brookline secure its third straight Division 1 Crown. His time of 16:18 is the fifth fastest time from all returning runners this season.
Runners to Watch: Monument Mountain Regional’s Everett Pacheco
Everett Pacheco of Monument Mountain Regional returns looking for his second straight Division Three crown. After finishing 10th as a sophomore, Pacheco would win this past fall in 16:09, a time that ranks fourth out of all returning runners from the Meet of Champions.
Runners To Watch: Billerica’s Gianna McGowan
As a sophomore last fall, Gianna McGowan competed in only a handful of cross-country races. But the diminutive runner from Billerica certainly made the most
Runner’s to Watch: Natick’s John Bianchi
The number two returner from the Meet of Champions Division One race will be looking for an individual title as well as a team title this fall. John Bianchi was eighth last year and has the third fastest time, 15:59, of all returning runners. He will look to lead our number two ranked Natick squad to the team title after finishing fifth last season.
