Watertown had five All-Stars including co-MVP Emily Koufos and Wilmington had four All-Stars and co-MVP Alexcia Luna. Burlington finished with one All-Star.

Making the list as All-Stars for the Warriors was senior Ana Lucas, sophomore Olivia Lucey, freshman Samantha Nett, sophomore Katie Sweeney, junior Eadeen Beck, senior Julia Brown and sophomore Olivia Fetherston.

Lucas was one of three athletes selected in the 55 meter dash. Lucas was an All-Star in the dash last year as well. 

Lucey was selected for her success in the the mile. It was her second straight All-Star nod as well.

Sweeney made the list in the 600 meters, and Nett got the nod in the 1000 meter. 

Brown and Beck made the All-Star list for the second straight year in the shot put. The two were consistently near the top of every throwing event at most meets this year and combined with Samantha Nimblett to win the shot put relay at the D4 State Relays. 

Fetherston had plenty of milestones this season as she was named an All-Star the high jump. Fetherston won the Middlesex League Meet and qualified for States in the high jump.
