Seabury Hall’s cross country team expected to have three runners in HHSAA top 20

Seabury’s #3 runner

This Seabury runner showed up at the recent Hawaii Prep cross country meet to finish sixth overall in a time of 22 minutes and 27 seconds.

 

Can you name her?    Here’s a few more clues:  She is Seabury Hall’s number 3 runner behind Dakota Grossman and Kiana Smith.

 

She finished 16th in the HHSAA championships last year, her junior year, and is expected to go higher this year when the championships are held on her home island.

 

If you guessed Gracie Peck give yourself a gold star and do an additional five miles during your workout today!

After all running is a reward and should always be FUN!
