Claire O’Regan - Most Valuable Player - Girls Track and Field
This quiet but steely young student-athlete has also kept on a linear path of improved progression over the past two years. She has been at the core of the scintillating stable of Lady Firebird sprinters. This year she was a crucial leg on the 4×200 meter relay that won the Grand Prix Final race, the North Shore Pre-National Invitational, among others. Moving up where her athletic future lies, she proved that notion by running a spectacular leg at the C.H.S.A.A. Intersectional Meet to help put herself and her 4x 400 relay teammates in the New York State Federation Championship Meet. We are honored tonight to award the Winter Track M.V.P. award to Claire O’Regan.
