The following recap was provided by girl's track coach Michael Kelley.

At the largest invitational meet in New England, with over 3500 athletes from nine different states competing, Holliston's girls cross country team had four medalists in the New Balance Ocean State Invitational.

In the Varsity Division 1 race, seniors Jill Rosati and Anna Mannello finished 11th and 30th, respectively, with times of 21:00 and 22:03 on the muddy 3.1 mile course.

Both athletes improved their place tremendously during the course of the race, passing several runners in the second and third miles.

Rounding out the Panthers varsity squad was senior Rachel Dinehart (24:23), sophomore Virginia Hanstad (24:33), sophomore Erin Johnston (25:09), junior Sara Tajik (25:28), and junior Kirstie Deprey (25:43).

Rosati and Mannello both earned medals, which were awarded to the top 30 finishers in the 240-person race. Holliston finished 16th out of 34 teams.

Katie Salley, who has been the team's #2 runner in all of their dual meets, showcased her talents in the Freshman race, and the young Panther finished fourth overall on the 2.5 mile course in 16:42. Classmate Sarah Stebbins earned a medal with a 19th place finish in 18:07.

The Panthers travel to Wrentham on Saturday to compete in the Bay State Invitational, then host defending league champion Dover-Sherborn on Wednesday, Oct. 5.
