Samantha Friborg, Acton-Boxborough
The talented senior scratched from New England's this past weekend. We're guessing, to sharpen up for an all-out effort at NBNO. Friborg is one of the top seeds in the 800-meter run. She has already clocked 2:07 twice in dominating fashion. With the level of competition at NBNO, we're thinking she can be pushed to a time in the 2:05-2:06 range. If she can do that, she should surpass her performance from the indoor nationals where she was fifth overall.
