Madaket Nobili capped off her perfect "undefeated" season with a first place overall individual victory at the ACL League Champs in Sandwich on Saturday Oct. 29. The Sandwich HS 3.1 mile course (which is not a favored course) included field perimeters, hilly climbs and narrow rocky footing throughout. Nobili and Tara Ellard went out with the lead group and maintained a fast pace until Ellard suffered an asthma attack and had to drop out of the race. Nobili (20:10) ran head to head with DY's Sydney McCann for most of the race, and was able to maintain her kick with a quarter mile to go, holding off McCann by :10 seconds. Emily Wall (20:46) was outstanding on the day and was Nauset's #2 girl in placing 6th overall. Olivia Bois (22:41) placed 17th while Joy Trudel (23:42), Hannah Brunelle (23:57), and Rebekah Pranga (24:55) placed 22nd, 25th and 27th respectively.

Losing out on the low points Ellard would have scored, Nauset was only able to pull out a third place team victory. However, great times were recorded on the day and the entire team posted personal bests on what was touted as the most difficult course of the season. In the JV race, Rebecca Dawley 5th (23:57) and Sonja Berquist 7th (24:19) recorded the fastest Nauset times. Dawley will now be heading into post season with her stellar performance.

Overall the top 7 fastest runners for Nauset that will now be heading into post season are:

Nobili, Ellard, Wall, Bois, Trudel, Brunelle and Dawley. In addition, congratulations to the 4 League all-stars: Nobili, Ellard, Wall and Bois.
