Grelli ran away from a pack of Harbor runners in the last 150 yards to win in the 17th-fastest time recorded by a girl on the course. Grelli is in her first year of cross-country. She finished ninth in the 1,600 meters at the CCS track and field finals last spring.

Comment: ``She is an endurance runner,'' Presentation Coach Chris Cozort said. ``Her goal more than anything is to break people in the last third part of the race. She has speed and strength.''
