NH represented on both coasts this past weekend at Brooks PR and New Balance Nationals. Definitely the highlight had to be NH flexing its muscle at the 800 distance for the girls. NH took 2nd and 3rd places in the Girls’ 800 at Brooks PR in Seattle, Washington. Using her now signature kick, MV’s Kristie Schoffield went from 5th to 2nd in the final 200 to finish in 2:07.13. Bedford’s Leya Salis putting in yet another gutsy performance placing 3rd in 2:07.43.
