On The Bubble: 10 Girls XC Runners On The Verge Of Flo50


Athlete: Ellie Lawler
School: South Kingstown, RI
Graduation Year: 2018

Ellie Lawler has so far qualified for a national cross country championship every year of high school: as a sophomore in 2015, she was eighth at Foot Locker Northeast and 14th at Foot Locker; as a freshman in 2014, she was fourth at NXN Northeast and 33rd at NXN. What's next for the All-American? She set PBs on the track with 4:46.3 for 1500m and 10:09.8 for 3K, though she seems to be stronger on a 5K course than the track. She'll look to defend her Rhode Island state XC title and lower her 5K PB of 17:29.28.
