All-American Status For Connolly At NBNI Meet
Here's another runner that had a number of highlights throughout the year. Coming off a very successful cross-country season where the then-sophomore won her first individual title and later placed ninth overall at the Foot Locker Nationals in San Diego, Natick's Grace Connolly continued her excellence on the indoor surface. She proved unbeatable against her MA rivals and won the mile and two mile at the All State Meet. A few weeks later, the Natick standout earned All-American status at the New Balance Nationals in New York on March 14 when she finished sixth in the mile run with an all-time best of 4:52.38, a nearly four-second PR!
