North Attleboro was 4 for 4 in PR's at the State Coaches Invitational. With Ashley Willox absent due to SAT testing, and two runners sidelined by injury, the remaining runners made a statement that they are ready for the State Class B meet next week.

In the 1.9 mile freshman race, Sara Krasney continued to climb in the rankings. She posted a 37 second improvement over her first time on the Franklin Park course – finishing 8 th in a field of 197 runners. Katie Noll dropped seven seconds off her time, cruising through the mile mark in a time identical to her Bay State Invitational performance. The final 9/10 of a mile accounted for her improvement as she finished strong.

Abby Brunelle was the lone NA runner in the sophomore race. She used her fastest opening mile of the season - 6:45 – as a springboard to a 30 second improvement. Her 23:38 placed 65 th in a field of 160 runners.

Jenna Banks also went out hard in the JR/SR race. She opened in 6:08 – twenty seconds faster than her last time on this course. She blazed through the 2 mile in 13:15. Her aggressive early race tactics took a little away from her normally strong finishing kick, but she was still able to coast in to a PR 21:20. That was good enough to medal as she placed 34 th out of a field of 219.
