Under miserable wet and muddy conditions in 2012, where the winning time was 17:06 in the boys' race, former Chariho all-stater Bryce Kelley was 69th in the field of 196 runners. Kelley was timed in 18:21. A week earlier, he finished seventh at the NXN-Northeast Regionals where he covered the challenging 5K layout at Bowdoin Park in a time of 16:10.7.
