Just a few days after running in the United States national championships in Oregon, Peabody’s Heather MacLean was back on the track … in a little bit of a different capacity.
Last Thursday night, MacLean was a special guest at Moakley Park in Boston where the Youth Enrichment Services (YES) holds its summer track and field practices. The youngsters, ranging in age from 7-13, were thrilled to meet one of the top track athletes in the country and MacLean was hands on with the group, warming up, going through long jump skills and all sorts of other fun activities.
