The final M-F Athletic male and female Athlete of the Week of the outdoor track and field season was easily the toughest to choose. With so many great performances by R.I. athletes at the New Balance Nationals this past weekend, there were no two athletes that stood out from the others in my eyes. It would be a complete injustice to single out just two athletes.
MileSplit and FloTrack have partnered with New Balance to create the "Local Heroes" program, in order to recognize local high school distance runners who are making a real difference in the world around them.

A short time after running the anchor leg on her school’s winning 4x800-meter relay squad, Barrington High junior Abby Livingston made her way over to the awards’ tent. Before making it to the tent, she knelt on the ground in total exhaustion. It was a place she remained for close to 10 minutes. That’s what happens when you pour your heart into a race, using every bit of energy (and more) to earn a victory.
Barrington High coach Scott Turgeon figured his 4x800-meter relay team had a good chance at winning a New England title.

The quartet of freshman Julia Zitzman, junior Julianna Portelli, junior Megan Verner-Crist and Livingston combined for a state and meet record of 9:05.49. La Salle also dipped under the existing NE mark of 9:12.16 with a runner-up time of 9:06.22.
Alex Niemiec was hoping to finish out his high school career by finally breaking the 24-foot barrier in the long jump. He almost got 25.
