2023 Girls 5k Division 3C Preview(D3C)

On November 13, 2022, during the Division 3C Girls Championships, it became abundantly clear that Girls Distance running in Massachusetts is here to stay. The exceptional competitors showcased their prowess, leaving no doubt that this division will continue to captivate audiences. As we gear up for the 2023 XC season, one cannot help but be excited. The prior year's champion, Evelyn Wool, who clinched victory as a sophomore and is now a rising junior, crossed the finish line with an impressive time of 19:59.61, conquering the challenging Gardner Golf Course.

In the team battle, Lenox Memorial led by now-senior Alice Culver, narrowly secured victory, edging out the team runners-up, Mount Greylock, by a mere 5 points. As we delve into the intricacies of this division, our focus will be on analyzing the Top Returners, Top 7 Teams, and Coach H's Sleeper Runners.

At the forefront of D3C, some questions loom large, awaiting answers in the upcoming 88 days - a countdown that's underway. Can Evelyn Wool replicate her success and hold onto her title as the Division 3C Champion? Will Lenox Memorial, under the leadership of Alice Culver, manage to retain their crown as Team Champions, or will Mount Greylock ascend the throne and dethrone the defending champions?
