Athlete Spotlight:
"The 400-meter dash is one of the most challenging events in track which is why I'm proud of breaking this record," said Ashley Keleher (Mashpee, Mass.). "But other than the new school record, the team had some huge personal records and season bests in multiple events that deserve some praise as well. We've been putting in a lot of hard work these past couple of weeks and the best is yet to come for this team!"
