Defending Footlocker NE XC 2022 - Champion- Ellie Shea (Belmont)
A mere year ago, in the heart of Van Cortlandt Park, the sensational Belmont native and @emergingelites athlete, Ellie Shea, set the course ablaze! With sheer determination and a heart full of fire, she carved her own path and clinched the coveted 2022 @footlockerxcne Locker North East Regional Meet title in a jaw-dropping time of 17:07. Oh, what a moment that was for Massachusetts. Fast forward to the present, and the excitement is palpable because the Foot Locker Regional meet is now happening right in our own backyard.
Massachusetts, get ready to rally behind our homegrown talents, for I have a strong hunch that some incredible student athletes will be punching their tickets to San Diego. The stage is set, the stars are aligned, and it's time to let the world know what we're made of. But there's one name that's sending shockwaves of anticipation through the running community – Fred Treseler! Yes, folks, it's time to grab your popcorn, because we are about to witness a performance that will go down in history. Ellie Shea, a name that resonates with power and passion, is about to rewrite the record books.
Get ready, ladies and gentlemen, because this is the stuff legends are made of. Let's not forget that Ellie Shea's journey didn't stop at the Regional Meet triumph. She went on to conquer the 2022 Cross Country Championships with an awe-inspiring 16:55 effort, earning herself a well-deserved second place. Arguably the girl to beat. So, my fellow Bostonians, as we stand on the precipice of greatness, let's unite in our unwavering support and enthusiasm for Ellie Shea and our Massachusetts athletes.
The National title is within reach, and I, for one, am eagerly awaiting the moment it returns to its rightful home, here in the heart of Massachusetts. Thank you, Ellie Shea, for inspiring us all and reminding us of the incredible talent that our great state has to offer. Massachusetts, let's cheer with all our might as we embark on this thrilling journey to greatness! #Belmont #EllieShea #FootLockerNE
