By DAVE CARTY
As the seasons shift and local harriers take their running indoors, this year’s top area girls’ cross country per-
formances came from nearly equal slices of three graduating classes.
Three seniors, four juniors, four sophomores and one fresh-man stood out in equal measure among different local high school programs to share in the laurels of The Sun Chron-icle Girls’ Cross Country All-Star Team.
The North Attleboro High Red Rocketeers had a pair of upperclassmen they leaned on throughout the season, as senior Angela Kaiser and junior Stephanie Hawkins provided a formidable duo.
But perhaps no Hockomock League twosome was better than league MVP Abby Hassman of
Foxboro High, along with teammate Lindsey Nelson.
Eastern Athletic Conference champion Bishop Feehan also celebrates two Sun Chronicle All-Star nods. Senior Lauren Magill and junior Phoebe Dodge led a deep Shamrock squad. Meanwhile, Seekonk sophomores Abigail Ten-
reiro and Hannah Bradbury head a hard-charging Warrior squad.
Three Hock-omock All-Stars — senior Erin Quinn of King Philip, junior Margaret Riley of Mansfield and sophomore Shea Jamieson of Attleboro — are their teams’ lone representatives among The Sun Chronicle All-Stars.
Not to be overlooked is Norton High freshman Bella Pietrasiewicz. The Lancer was among the state’s
top runners as a rookie and figures to be among the area’s best for years to come.
Plenty of class acts among area runners
