All-Time R.I. Indoor Athletes - Girls

Over the last few decades, Rhode islanders have had their share of outstanding track & field athletes. We have had national champions, such as Westerly’s Samantha Gawrych (mile) and Andrew Springer (mile) and a record-setting 4x1 mile relay team from Chariho Regional. This is just a smidgen of what our state has produced in this great sport.

Thanks to the hard-working efforts of La Salle Academy girls’ coach Dave Wright and Toll Gate coach Norm Bouthillier (with some assistance from R.I.track & field/cross-country historian Keith Lawton), MileSplit RI will periodically post a top 10 list of the best individuals (and relays) of the indoor and outdoor track & field seasons.

We’ll begin this segment with the top 10 girls on the indoor surface. Remember, this is a list of the best individuals, so even though an athlete or a relay team may have had a few times or distances that are among the top 10, only their best will be listed.

MileSplit RI appreciates the countless hours of research that Dave and Norm spent to come up with this list and more in the future. Enjoy!
