PRIME-TIME PLAYERS
ZACK TORRES
Torres has the third-best returning time among all
runners who competed at the state meet last fall,
regardless of division. His 15:25 was good enough
for sixth in Division I.
TYLER VALDES
Valdes finished just ahead of Torres at the DI state
meet last fall, also clocking a 15:25 to finish fifth.
Valdes, along with twin brother Ryan, also an ESPN
RISE All-Area choice, led Dana Hills to the team title.
JORDAN HASAY
Hasay has placed in the top 10 at the Foot Locker
national championships the last three years (including
a win in 2005). The three-time state XC champ
won Gatorade State Runner of the Year last fall.
KAYLIN MAHONEY
Mahoney helped guide Saugus to a Division I state
championship by finishing seventh at the DI meet
in 17:47. With star Katie Dunn graduated, Mahoney
becomes the leader of the Centurions.
COACH'S TAKE
AN AREA COACH ON TEENY ADAMS: "Whenever I think about her, I think about one of the toughest competitors out there. She rides BMX motorcycles and she brings that dirtbiking mentality to the cross country course. She's aggressive and tough. She's definitely someone I respect a lot."
