Class C Girls Distance Preview: One Last Go-Around For Mace

Abby Mace, one of the most successful Class C runners over the past decade, has had a phenomenal year thus far. The future UConn Huskie will look to do some major damage this Saturday at Cony High School.

800

Sophomore Carsyn Koch of Washburn looks like the clear cut favorite in the 800. She is the defending champion in this event. Koch has had a fantastic spring thus far. At the Aroostook County Championships Koch won both the 1600 and the 800 running 5:27.3 and 2:31.3 respectively. She has the fastest time in Class C with a time of 2:22.24. The battle for second place will be a cause for intrigue. Freshman Fern Morrison of Foxcroft comes into the meet with the second fastest time with a time of 2:26.97. Morrison has had a great freshmen campaign this spring. She will look to push Koch to the edge this Saturday. Other runners to watch for in this event include Angelica Bulgin of Lisbon, Elora McCuddy of Traip, and Jade Decker of Traip.

Abby Mace of Maranacook will be looking to win her third straight 1600 meter title this Saturday. She has had a fantastic season thus far most recently running 5:09.48 in the 1600 at the KVAC Championships last weekend. Mace will be the overwhelming favorite to take her third title on Saturday. Carsyn Koch of Washburn will most likely take the second spot on Saturday. She comes into the meet with the second fastest 1600 time in Class C (5:27.30). Look for her to try and make a run at Abby Mace early in the race. Other runners to watch for in this event include Sadie James of Mt. Abram, Lily Koffman of Orono, and Caroline Colan of Maranacook.
