The Pride of Attleboro

I decided the Bishop Feehan girls XC team needed their own story.

Lincoln-Sudbury and Newton South are justly celebrated for their outstanding XC programs and the monumental rivalry between the two programs over the years, but the Feehan girls triumphed over both on Saturday, winning the Northeast regional Championships of the Nike Team Nationals.

'Rocks' top runners in Northeast

The Feehan girls, state champs in Mass. D2, have yet to lose a meet -- any meet - this year.

On Saturday, the Shamrocks, or 'Rocks', were led by Viviana Hanley's 6th place finish (19:15), and placed five runners in the top 50. That was good for 114 points, seven points better than LaSalle, and sixty points ahead of Lincoln-Sudbury.

Coach Bob L'homme said, "We don't really have that superstar... It just goes to show you that it really is a team sport."
