PRIME-TIME PLAYERS
PHILIP GALEBACH
Galebach ran a 14:32 at the state meet last year, finishing
fourth and coming in two seconds after
David Wilson. The two should battle it out for the
top spot this year.
DAVID WILSON
Wilson finished second at the state meet as well as
the All-New England championships last year, coming
in behind graduated teammate Robert Gibson
both times.
BRIDGET DAHLBERG
A Boston Globe All-Scholastic and state champion in
the mile, Dahlberg is running cross country this
season and should be a contender when the state
meet rolls around.
KIRSTEN KASPER
The defending state champion, Kasper will need to
improve on her time of 16:54 from last year in order
to hold off a deep group of strong challengers. She
is also a state-champion swimmer.
COACH'S TAKE
AN AREA COACH ON BRIDGET DAHLBERG:
"She's a soccer player, and you can see it when
she runs. Not only is she very strong and consistent,
but she's fast too. She's got the ability to run
away from people with that quick burst. It's her
speed that separates her."
