James Finucane ’08, from Mercersburg Academy, who broke school records at the 1600-meter and 3200-meter distances this spring, is the Hagerstown Herald-Mail’s choice as its 2008 Boys Track & Field Athlete of the Year.

Finucane was also honored last fall as the Herald-Mail’s Cross Country Runner of the Year. He will compete in both sports at the University of Pennsylvania.

Including Finucane (and his sister Lena ’09), 15 Mercersburg student-athletes earned All-Mid-Atlantic Prep League honors in their respective sports this spring. Among the honorees is Jenn Dillon ’09, who set a single-season women’s lacrosse school record with 61 goals (which ranked first in the MAPL); she was joined by three of her teammates on the Herald-Mail’s all-area first team.
