Ted Dutkiewicz Memorial Races, Ocean State, Amherst and Manchester Invitationals On The Slate


COMPLETE ENTRIES

The Ocean State Cross-Country Invitational is a two-day meet that will begin with six middle school races on Friday and 14 high school races on Saturday. The meet has attracted a total of 88 schools from throughout the region, including Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Connecticut, Virginia, New Jersey, New York, Colorado and host Rhode Island.  The highlight of the HS events is the Championship races and one of our own could be crowned a two-time champion if things work out as planned on the generous 3.1-mile layout. In last year's girls' race, Natick's Grace Connolly posted a 28-second victory over runner-up Randi Burr of Westerly. Both runners will be returning this year. This will certainly be Connolly's first real test of the season. In addition to Burr, she'll be matched against two formidable foes from New York with Kelsey Chmiel of Saratoga Springs and Katherine Lee of Shoreham Wading River scheduled to toe the line. Lee won the Brown Northeast Invitational at Goddard with a fast 16:45.45 best. She was also tenth at the Nike Cross Nationals (NXN) and has done 9:26 for 3,000 meters. Chmiel has also done 9:26 for 3K and was fifth at NXN last year. She placed fourth in 2015. Of course, Connolly is coming off a splendid sophomore campaign where she won her first X-C title and was ninth at the Foot Locker Nationals. It will certainly be interesting. In the boys' top event, keep an eye on some Bay State teams fighting for the team title, including Wellesley. Click the link below to get the results of our Virtual Meets.
