NORTHFIELD — Hurricane season ain’t over yet. The Amherst Regional girls cross country team proved – once again – to be the top team in Western Massachusetts.
The Hurricanes had three of the first five finishers — including a first-place finish by senior Anna Kaplan — en route to Amherst’s third straight Western Massachusetts Division I girls cross country championship. Besides Northampton’s victory in 2010, the Hurricanes have won Western Mass. every year since 1995.
“I looked back after I finished and we were all in the chute, so that was really exciting to see,” Kaplan said. “We worked so hard this season, so it was really great to see it pay off.”
