There were many impressive results on Saturday at the Frank Kelley Invitational. This was the first of two visits to the Wrentham Devleopmental Center course this season, which is typically a layout that runs quite fast. This was the case today despite gusty winds that persisted throughout the day.
On the girls side there were two medal winners on the day. Arya Samaratunga (12th) in the 9th and 10th grade 3k and Bella Thoen (16th) in the 11th and 12th grade 3k race. Thoen joins Samaratunga in the top five times for girls on the 3k course at this site, which has been used since 2010.
On the boys side 7 athletes tackled the 3k course led by the closely packed trio of Jonathan Mui, Matthew Frank, and Ben Caddoo. In the championship 5k race, which was open to all schools, the Wayland group placed 10th of 33 teams, and the 3rd team from MIAA Division 2. With the multi loop course layout, the runners in the 5k race passed over the finish line timing mat at 3k as well. This allows for seeing how people fared in relation to their competitors. Each Wayland runner in the race picked off more than 10 runners in the final 2 km of the race, and the team moved up three places. In terms of the historical angle, four of the top fifteen times by WHS athletes on this course, including two of the top three, are from this race.
