The Arlington Catholic girls cross country team continued their successful season with a school-best third place finish in Division 5 at the Easter Mass Cross Country Championships in Wrentham on Saturday.

This will mark the second year in a row that the Lady Cougars will be advancing to next week’s Division 2 All State Championships, said Head Coach Jack Dempsey. The state meet will be held in Gardner.

Freshmen sensations Alexandria Kay (Melrose, 14th overall with a season’s best time of 19:44) and Veronica Seguin (Bedford, 19th with a season’s best time of 19:53) led the charge for AC. Senior captain Kaitlin McCauley (Watertown, 24th, 20:20), Olivia Stewart (Medford, 21:23) and Olivia Liberti (Medford, 63rd, 21:26) also ran personal best times. The final two harriers competing and running strong races were Kathleen McLaughlin (Waltham, 66th, 21:30) and Olivia Bowman (Melrose, 104th with a best time of 22:46).
