Bridgewater-Raynham  4 x 400

While Jennifer Lin could overshadow any team, she couldn’t have won the relay by herself. Lin ran the anchor leg for this team that won the All-State title, running 3 minutes 59.97 seconds as B-R beat Newton North by less than a second. A week earlier, B-R finished second at the Division 1 meet. Amy Delgado, Mary Zolga, Jenna Weldon, and Katy Wood will have a chance to shine on their own next season and Lin, the team’s only senior, is off to Yale to run track and pursue a degree in biology.

Andover  4 x 800

Between these four runners, there are 14 seasons of experience. That experience helped them in the pressure cooker they faced at the state meet, where they ran 9:35.04 and held off Newton North to push their team past the Tigers in the team standings. Brittany Moriarty and Emily Korba competed in the 800 and finished first and third, respectively in Division 1. Courtney Hamer is a junior. The other three are off to college: Moriarty to Northeastern, Michelle Pirro to New Hampshire, and Korba to Miami.
