Hawken girls cross country: Brielle Collins zeroed in on senior campaign

Must read

Brielle Collins fell out of love with running.

In 2023, the then-junior at Hawken was injured at the start of the season and couldn’t take to the courses. Her first race wasn’t until the last race of the regular season.

With confidence returning to her stride, Collins ended the cross country season strong and was fifth in the 3,200 meters during the state track and field meet in the spring.

“The biggest thing was trying to like running again,” Collins said. “It was difficult to do that when you put a lot of stock into your place rather than the team chemistry as a whole and overall performance. I’m very excited to be a part of the team again with a very supportive group around me. The biggest thing with coming back has been the support of the team and that’s something that has really helped me going into the season.”

Coach Ryan Morley took over the Hawken program before the start of the indoor season. He knew there would be a challenge to help rebuild the program and the runners’ confidence.
