The Wave Girls’ Indoor Track team is looking to be one of the best we’ve had in several years. There are many strong juniors and seniors, and the team is intimate in its relatively small numbers compared to the outdoor season. On the sprinting side, hurdling specialist and senior captain Abigail Cragin is sure to dominate. She has been out on the track for weeks already, putting in the preseason work with her teammates, including junior Wren Stewart, senior Rory Washecka, senior captain Erica Blaze and sophomore Tess Keating. All of these girls are looking to have a strong season, starting right in building stamina for faster and longer workouts as we approach December 4th, the first day of the season. Former cross country captain KC Grady, although just coming off a competitive season of distance running, is back on the track with Coach Ott. Grady, an elite 100 meter sprinter, who finished as one of the best in the state last outdoor season, hopes to push herself further in her senior season.
On the distance side, there is the same close-knit and very fast group of girls that have dominated the track for two years. This group includes senior captains Kerry Blatney and Kimmy Olvany, and juniors Cameron Appleby, Marley Garfield, and Daphne Cutler. Watch out for these powerhouses as they look to qualify for the FCIAC and State times as early as they can this season.
The Wave also welcomes Coach Sophie Long as a new addition to the team. A former Wave runner, and a former varsity runner at Trinity College, Long has just what it takes to succeed as a coach on this team. We look forward to her role this upcoming season. If you’re searching for a sport to keep you in shape and competitive this winter, join BWTF on their first day of practice, December 4th. We’ll be seein ya.
