2023 Girls Division 2C XC Previews

**Setting the Stage: A Glimpse into Massachusetts' Stanley Park**

Nestled within the enchanting beauty of Stanley Park in Massachusetts, a revelation occurred a year ago – the female athletes of Whitinsville Christian are a force to be reckoned with. Let's cast our spotlight on these remarkable individuals who have made their mark.

Beginning with a standout performance from defending champion, 8th grader Abby Flagg, the Girls from WC demonstrated their prowess by triumphing over a formidable field and securing a team victory. Fast forward a year, and new alignments have reshaped the division's dynamics. While WC may have bid farewell to the Dill Twins (Emily & Sophia), Emily Flagg, twin sister of Emily, is stepping onto the scene this fall to bolster the WC team. Yet, the spotlight also shines on #MyHomeGirl, affectionately known as "The Shark" – Margaret Bowles, the driving force behind Dover Sherborn's bid for the D2C Team title. Will the girls from Medfield, led by the capable Ella Kane, muster a performance that rivals the best?

In a mere 83 days, the answers to these pressing questions will unfold before us.
