Elisa Crisp and Haylie Donovan both pray at the starting line. It's obvious both athletes have seen many of their prayers answered. Whether that's from divine intervention or from natural talent, combined with hard work, might be up for debate. But there's no debating that Crisp, a New Rochelle eighth-grader, and Donovan, a Somers junior, are gifted runners. And the two, who both medaled in two events at the state track and field championships in June, are co-winners of The Journal News/lohud Girls Westchester/Putnam Outdoor Track Athlete of the Year award. 🔗 See all of the Westchester/Putnam girls track all-stars at our link in bio. 📸: Peter Carr pcarrphoto ✍: Nancy Haggerty nancyhaggertysportsreporter #lohudSports #lohudTrack #Track #HighSchoolTrack #Westchester #WestchesterNY #Putnam #PutnamNY
