KATHERINE DELORETO

Tolland has a good chance to win its third straight state crown and Katherine leads the way. Last year, the junior finished ninth at the State Open as a tenth-grader. This past Saturday, she won the Class M Championship where she clocked a 5K personal best of 18:34. Just 10 days earlier, she captured the Central Connecticut Conference Championships and was also the top CT finisher at the Ocean State Invitational on Sept. 25 where she was timed in 18:34.36.
