Girls mile

Less than 30 minutes after winning the 2-mile, O’Connell took to the track again for the mile.

She won her second event of the day in 5:43.08, beating out second-place finisher by over 10 seconds.

Herlihy added, “Henrik Adams (4:57.59, eight-second personal best) battled to a fourth-place finish while also running his best race of his scholastic career, albeit with a little less experience. It was also his first sub five-minute mile.”

He continued, “Between the indoor and outdoor seasons, this team has seen three underclassmen break the fiveminute barrier this year, which is a rare and pretty special event and is a great sign for the future.

Zach Pike placed 17th with a time of 5:43.54, a 13-second personal best, and Jeremy Sorkin was 21st with a time of 6:15.28, a nine-second personal best, to round out the Marblehead runners.

“Maren Rowe, a sprinter who has never raced or trained for anything at this distance, also split a 3:05,” he noted. “She deserves a ton of credit for being willing to step up and compete in this event, despite her lack of experience. Maren also competed in the 100-meter dash.”

Herlihy continued, “Emma St. George also stepped up in a big way 20 minutes before the event, and her split was a 3:36 after already competing in the mile.

O’Connell was the anchor leg, and she wasted no time pulling her team back into second place after receiving the baton. In her third event of the day, she split a 2:40, a time that would have been seventh in the 800.
