Madison Granger Senior, Belchertown High School Some people in Eastern Mass called the girls mile an upset victory, but for the Western Mass Track and Field community this was not a surprise. Madison Granger has been a fan favorite for several years as she has racked up many Western Mass titles in both Track and Cross-Country. In the Mile at the All State Meet, the experienced Senior let Foxboro's Liz Holmes take off early in the race. Holmes at one point had around a 7 second lead, and Granger reeled her in with a 72 second last 400 Meters to win her first All State title. "People say a kick is an emotional thing,” said Granger, whose previous best was a five-minute flat mile. “You really have to dig down deep and use your heart.” Granger is just as impressive off the track, as she was the Belchertown High School valedictorian. ![]()
