NEPSTA Championships
The New England Division II Championships were hosted by Nobles School this year, and as it did in 2007, the hosts made every effort to make the day a great one for the racers and spectators. After watching the girls team put on a memorable performance in their race, the boys were pumped for their final 2019 race together. Hobbled by a number of injuries and absences, the team ran hard off the line for the fast first mile. Daniel Pinckney ’20 fought hard in this fast field to achieve a career ambition of making the All-New England team; his 15th place finish, just seconds off his lifetime best, earned him that honor. The rest of the team ran well but were much further back in the field, with no other Martlet in the top 100. James Beit ’22 was only four seconds off his lifetime best and Spencer Kwan ’22 did set his lifetime best by nine seconds. In the stiff competition at this race, the loss of key runners was felt keenly, and the team finished 15th out of 16 schools, but the young runners showed tremendous growth. Pinckney also deserves kudos for all of the leadership that he has demonstrated this fall; his impact will be felt for seasons to come.
In the Second team race, Zach Burelle ’20, the team “myrrh”, went out fast and, despite a significant fall in the final mile, ran his season best 5K to lead the Martlets. Season bests were also run by Hewitt Shelton ’23, Will Warner ’22 and Alex Shao ’22. The JV boys, again without a number of runners competing, performed well, finishing 12th out of 16 schools.
