Dan Allara, a junior at Hamilton-Wenham Regional, has been a distance standout in track and field for the school for three years. Competing in the mile, 400 meters and 800 meters individually, he helps his team pile up points in every meet. His top times are 4:36 in the mile, 52.8 seconds in the 400 and 2:02 in the 800. Dan is also the anchor of both the school record setting 4×100 and 4×800 relay teams (both of which records were set at the Division 4 State Relays on April 30) and also is a member of Hamilton-Wenham’s 4×400 relay team. Academically, Dan takes all honors and Advanced Placement classes and has done so since entering high school. His grade point average is a very impressive 4.08.
