On Thursday, October 29, the Arlington Catholic cross-country team competed at the Catholic Central League Championship Meet, which was held at Franklin Park in Boston.

The boys finished in second place in the nine team competition. At the CCL Championship Meet, the top 14 individual finishers are named league all-stars, and the AC boys had four runners achieve that status. Sophomore Andrew Doyle (Medford) was AC’s top finisher in 8th place, followed closely by junior Kevin Hickey (Arlington) in 9th, senior Mike Venditti (Lexington) in 11th, and sophomore Shawn Brown (Burlington) in 13th.

After winning the CCL Championship Meet the previous six years in a row, the AC girls finished in 3rd place. The AC girls were led by junior Alexandra Kay (Melrose), who placed 3rd individually. In addition to Kay, freshman Chloe Stubblebine (Lincoln) finished 12th, and senior Olivia Bowman (Melrose) finished 14th. All three were named league all-stars.
