The Mohawk Trail Regional High School machine kept on rolling last season.

It was another successful campaign for the Warriors’ runners as Mohawk claimed its third consecutive North Division title last fall and the Warriors could very “Wells” make it four in a row this fall.

Sisters Jackie and Lilly Wells lead a talented Mohawk team that could very well make it four straight titles unless last year’s runner-up, Greenfield High School and its own sister tandem, Amy and Sarah O’Sullivan, have anything to say about it.

Frontier Regional School comes into the year with a deep but young roster, and Pioneer has enough talent to stay in the hunt after finishing fourth last year.

Here’s a look at the four local teams:

Frontier (8-4)

Frontier finished third for the second straight season last fall and comes into the year having lost its top runner, Caitlin Burnett.

The good news is that the Red Hawks do return their next five runners and should contend near the top of the league. The team does lack depth at upperclassmen, with just one senior and one junior.

Sophomore Emily Laus was 55th in Division II last season and was the second quickest runner on the Hawks behind Burnett. Junior Greyson Young came in 61st in Division II, while sophomore Fiona Ferry was 65th. Freshman Lia Vichi, eighth-grader Kensington Young and senior Olivia Warren were the next three runners and they return this season. One runner to keep an eye on is eighth-grader Skyler Dennie, who has looked strong early.

Meghan Waldron and Eleanor Klitzke are both sophomore returnees, and Evelyn Boyden, Adrienne Josephs and Meaghan Cohoon round out the freshmen class. Malia Hanes is an eighth-grader, and Blanche Reading, Hannah Skiffington and Madison Schempp are all seventh-graders.

Greenfield (10-3)

If anyone has the firepower to stop the Mohawk machine it might by Greenfield.

Led by a pair of juniors, the Green Wave finished second in the North last season and returns all but one runner as Claire Abelson graduated.

Greenfield returns No. 1 runner Amy O’Sullivan, a junior who finished sixth overall at the WMass meet, the best finish of any local runner. Classmate Jenna Silk and sophomore Jamie Day are the next two runners on the team and the duo finished 34th and 35th at WMass last season.

Senior Sarah O’Sullivan will figure in the scoring as she leads the next pack of runners, which includes junior Courtney Danielson and sophomore Morghan Blanchard. Junior Chloe Lunt and eighth-graders Johanna Guiod and Eva Heath round out the squad.

Mohawk (10-2)

Although Mohawk has just one runner above the 10th grade, a very talented crop of youngsters should help Mohawk compete for its fourth straight crown.

The Warriors managed to win the North last season and were easily the top area team in the WMass Division II meet, finishing sixth overall. Propelling Mohawk in the postseason was a trio of runners finishing in the top 13 at WMass.

The top runner for Mohawk was a seventh-grader named Jackie Wells, who returns for her eighth-grade year and should lead the team again after she finished 10th in Division II. Madison Boucias, who finished right behind Wells in 11th, is the only big loss on the team, but junior Lilly Wells should fill her shoes after placing 13th at WMass. Sophomore Meghan Davis is also a great distance runner who will be in the conversation at the top of the lineup.

The talented crop of youth does not end with the Wells sisters. Freshman Barrett Liebermann returns after finishing 63rd at WMass last fall, and sophomore Clarissa Pollard is back after taking 76th. Freshmen Carli Cusimano and Erika Looman were the next two runners for the Warriors and each returns.

Olivia Parent and Bailey Cusimano are eighth-graders on the team, and Octavia Crawford, Sydney Taylor, Erica Szewczyk, Katie Martin, Hollin Keyser-Parker, Madeleine Locke and Caitlin Upton are all seventh-graders.

Pioneer (4-5)

Pioneer is still waiting on a few more bodies to come back out this season.

The Panthers finished just under .500 last season and should be a team on a rise if some of their top underclassmen from a season ago come back out this season. Add in a number of promising newcomers and coach Gina Johnson may move up the standings after a fourth-place finish last year.

Senior Madeline LaValley, junior Mary Ellis and freshman Delaney Archer are the three returnees to the team but none competed at the Division II meet.

Johnson also has four seventh-graders who are promising, especially Chloe Cutting and Lucy Koester. Koester has been running in the Northfield Summer Series all summer and has looked strong, and Cutting is a hockey player who is also a strong runner.

Amanda Kennedy and Gracie Mae Rosenberg are the other two seventh graders on the team.
