Marian High girls cross country team had to forfeit both meets as it only has three girls on the team, said Collins.

"I want to thank Assistant Coach John Sullivan (longtime Marian head coach) for assisting me through my first home meet successfully, along with the help of new Athletic Director Tom Boudreau and Asst. Principal Brian Pare, who were also on hand and helping," said Collins.
