Athlete Spotlight-Burke

One of the team’s captains, Burke placed in two or three events at every meet in the first month of the season. As the new year began, she had posted the Tri-Valley League’s best time in the 300 meters, was ranked fifth in the shot put and was tied for seventh in the high jump. “She is a fierce competitor and a dedicated leader who gives her all at practice and at meets,” coach Jean Cann stated about Burke, who also plays field hockey and lacrosse.

Move In Style, sponsored by Custom Home Realty’s Laura Wauters, is a weekly Hopkinton Independent feature. Each week during the school year, we will highlight a different Hopkinton High School athlete, selected after consultation with HHS coaches.
