First Girls' Cross-Country split races, run personal bests
Despite a persistent mist and soggy running shoes, the Westminster Lady Martlets took on the Kingswood-Oxford Wyverns and Williston Northampton Wildcats in a thrilling, fast-paced footrace in Northampton, MA. Nine runners ran lifetime bests today and demonstrated how truly competitive they can be as a team. Separating herself from the main pack of runners within the first mile, tri-captain Lauren Boures ’15 owned second place overall in the race by mile two and ran a lifetime best of 21:25. Boures’ time moved her from 27th to 12th fastest Lady Martlet in recorded history. Oumou Kanoute ’17 maintained a solid, strong pace throughout the race coming in to the finish just 9 seconds behind Lauren. Kanoute broke the 7:00 minute mile mark for the first time averaging 6:57 per mile. Abigayle Hovey ’18 also had a strong performance, following close behind Kanoute and placing 11th overall – just 5 seconds off of breaking the 22-minute mark. Tri-captain Katie O’Connor ’15 (23:27, 13th place) and Grace Brentano ’16 (24:23, 21st place) rounded out the scoring runners, with Nicole Fox ’16 (24:41, 24th place) and Sarah Minella ’16 (24:50, 27th) serving as displacers. Although Williston Northampton beat the Martlets 22 to 39, Westminster soundly defeated the Wyverns 20 to 41.
The Second Girls also ran hard and fast today and showed their unrelenting positivity and dedication to the sport. Leading the team was Gabby Brown ’17, followed by Ashlyn Chin ’16, Bo Jumrustanasan ’15, and tri-captain Jolene Patrina ‘15. As two of the newest additions to our team, Chin and Jumrustanasan both ran their lifetime bests today.
We will be facing the K-O and Williston teams again on the Williston Northampton course during the New England Championship. On Saturday, October 11th, both the girls’ and boys’ teams will be at the Salisbury School taking on both Salisbury and Kent.
