- - -
School: Westford Academy (MA)
Year: 2024
2022 Notable Finishes: 15th at Champs Sports Nationals in 15:26.80; 3rd at Champs Sports Northeast in 15:30.80; 1st at MIAA Division 1 Championships in 14:43.74.
Analysis: It was a very big season for Bergeron in 2022, as he ran a career best time of 14:43.74 for 5K, won a MIAA Division 1 title and then finished third at Champs Sports Northeast, booking his ticket to Champs Sports Nationals.
Bergeron followed with an All-American performance at Balboa Park, clocking a time of 15:26.80 to finish 15th overall. Outdoors, he ran 4:10.62 in the mile and added a time of 8:52.78 for 3,200m and 8:51.88 for the full 2-miles.
Bergeron raced just six times over the cross country season in 2022. That schedule could aid in fresh legs late in the season as Bergeron goes for bigger results this fall.
