Smith Wins Again
The Martlets had the opportunity to run at home for the third time this season, this time against Miss Porter’s. It was another warm race day after a cool week of running, which made it difficult for runners to get a personal best on the course. Despite just falling short to the Fighting Daisies a number of runners put in gritty performances. Annabelle Smith '21 once again led the way for the Black and Gold. She led the race the entire way. From the first mile to the final mile, Miss Porter's #1 was nipping at her heels. But Smith held her off and won in 21:51. This was a great win for a young runner who held her composure under pressure and never let up. Liz Casey '18 also looked strong crossing the line second for the Black and Gold and fourth overall. Michelle Wu '21 was passed heading around the track to finish in seventh and Maggie Chaves '19, who was not feeling her best, persevered to come in eighth. It was around this time that the team noticed Bethany Winters '20 hobbling around the final stretch of the course. Winters, usually the team's #2, had clearly sustained injury but would not quit. Hopefully, her sprained ankle is short-lived but what a gutsy performance. Jennifer Jerand '19, Allie Masthay '21 and Abby Hovey '18 finished out the top seven. Masthay has shown great improvement over the course of the season, running stronger every week, and this week she earned honors as the only person on the team to earn her personal best. While it was not the Martlets' day, the girls who raced should be proud of bearing down and making it through.
