Sarah Harrington – Triton – with Bill Newell
Harrington, a three-time CAL All-Star, had a big winter on the track for the CAL Kinney Division champion Vikings. She set a new personal record in the two-mile at the Cape Ann League Meet, running a time of 11:44.04 to take first place. Harrington also added a third-place finish in the two-mile and a fourth-place finish in the one-mile at the Cape Ann Championships as well as an eighth-place finish in the two-mile at the Division 4 Championships.
But when it comes to balancing school and athletics, Harrington makes it clear that school is always the priority.
“Academics always come first,” said Harrington. “It can get tough at times, but I’ve learned how to manage things so I can get all of my work done and still compete.”
Unfortunately for Harrington and countless other spring athletes, she is missing out on her junior spring season due to the COVID-19 pandemic. She’s still able to stay in shape since running is one of the few activities still permitted, but she still feels for her senior teammates who won’t put on the uniform again.
“We had a really talented class of seniors, so it’s tough to not see them get to finish off their careers,” said Harrington. “It’s been tough to prepare for the season and then have it not happen and it’s a little scary to not know what’s going to happen with the fall season yet. But at the same time, we’re all trying to keep a positive mindset and just see what happens.”
