Right now, the top girls runner in the BSC is Natick junior Rebecca White. White, along with senior Anya Price gives Natick the best 1-2 combination of any team, and with the rest of the team improved from last year, Natick hopes to challenge Wellesley for top team in the league.
On Tuesday, White set a course record at Natick's 2.5M course at Elm Bank, running 14:35, a 17-second improvement over her best time from last year. Price was also under the old course record, taking second in 14:48.
That 14:35 -- in the first meet of the season -- is twenty seconds faster than two-time BSC champion Ashley Davidson ever ran. It is flying.
And if previous years are an indication, White will only get better. Although she seems to race hard every time she steps to the starting line, she ran very well at the end of her sophomore season, winning the EMass Div II race at Franklin park, and then finishing 5th in the Div I state meet at Northfield.
In 2006, White set a course record in her first meet at Brookline. It is not unthinkable that by the time she graduates, white will own most of the course records in the league.
