Runners To Watch: North Kingstown’s Lucy Stowe

FFrom last year’s State Meet, six of the top 10 returnees are back on the trails—among them is Lucy Stowe.

The North Kingstown junior, alongside teammate Abbie Tighe, forms a formidable duo for the Skippers. Stowe enjoyed a strong sophomore season, steadily improving as the year went on. Her campaign was highlighted by a fifth-place finish at the State Meet, where she ran a personal best of 18:28.96 at Ponaganset—more than 20 seconds faster than her previous times. A few weeks earlier, she posted a similar mark, clocking 18:48.59 over 5K at the fast Cape Cod Fairgrounds course during the MSTCA Bob Glennon Twilight Invitational.

She enters the current cross-country season ranked No. 1 after capturing her race at the Injury Fund Carnival with a time of 19:00.89.
