The Luck of the Irish?
The Bishop Feehan girls cross country team has had a spectacular season. The girls have placed as a team at many of the major meets. Starting off the season, the team placed first at the MSTCA Baystate Invitational at Franklin Park. They had six strong athletes finish in the top 20. The first place finisher from Bishop Feehan placed third with a time of 19:37.
Bishop Feehan girls also made a statement at the Twilight Invitational. In the freshman race, the team placed fourth with the top finisher, Lauren Magill placing 30th with a time of 13:39 for a 3K. The Sophomore girls placed first with five athletes placing in the top 25. The junior varsity squad had three athletes place in the top 10, leading the team to a second overall placement. Finishing off the night, the division one varsity girls placed first with the top placements being 11th, 20th, 25th, and 26th.
While attending the MSTCA Coaches Invitational, Coach Bob L'Homme decided to rest his top six girls. In the Junior-Senior division one race, Colleen Donahue lead the girls to place fourth as a team with a time of 19:49. While with three placements in the top twenty, the Sophomore girls placed first as a team led by Rebecca Rodriguez. Lauren Magill brought the freshman girls to a fourth placement as a team by running a 12:40 3K.
The Bishop Feehan girls team captured their 10th consecutive state win in the MIAA Division 3 Race. They had five girls place in the top 20 with their top finisher, Abigail Long, placing third with a time of 18:37. They had all of their seven girls in under 19:50.
The girls finished off their season placing second at the MIAA All-State meet. The division one race brought in Abigail Long in 21st place with a time of 19:20 followed by Jackie Cutillo placing 25th followed by Meg Carmody.
Some questions that I have been wondering this season, how does Bishop Feehan get privileged year after year with a strong varsity team? Is it just luck? Is it because they are a school known to have good athletics, and people want to send their kids there? After the Bishop Feehan girls ran at the MIAA Division 3 race I saw about four of the girls with bags of ice, each either icing their hips, knees, or ankles. I have also been wondering, did they have injuries that they were told to push through just so Bishop Feehan could get their 10th consecutive state win?
