Mia-Claire Kezal, a junior at Thornton Academy, could be seen running throughout her Saco neighborhood this winter, completing loop after loop after loop.
Running is her passion. Her first memory of a race was running a mile at 5 years old.
Now 17, she has developed into one of the state’s top 800-meter runners and recently finished 11th in the Adidas Indoor National championships in Virginia Beach, Virginia, with a personal best of 2 minutes, 17.19 seconds.
