Over the past two years, WJ’s running teams, primarily the cross country team, have drawn unfamiliar attention from the WJ community. Most of this attention has been due to the teams’ consistency in finishing in the top three at all of their meets. This year’s boys indoor track team is led by senior captains Martin Dally and Sean O’Leary. O’Leary has burst onto the scene after finishing first at the cross country State Championships. Dally has been a consistent star for the team, often finishing in the top five in his races. The girls team is led by senior Jenna Willett, who has been on every WJ running team since her freshman year.
Two weeks ago, the team competed at the MoCo championships. Led by O’Leary and Dally, the boys team finished second overall and a bid to states. The girls team led by Willett and junior Camille Bouvet, finished fifth overall.
