Oliver Ames senior Brendan Thomas has been selected as the HockomockSports.com Player of the Week, presented by Morse Insurance, for Sept. 25 through Oct. 1. Thomas is the fourth player chosen as Player of the Week for the 2023-24 school year.
Thomas has led the way for the Tigers this season, finishing first in all three meets to help the three-time defending league champions get off to a perfect start. The senior, who finished second behind teammate Ryan Sarney at last year’s league championship meet, also set a course record in last week’s win over Sharon.
“Brendan made OA history by breaking one of the oldest and fastest course records in the Hockomock League,” said OA coach Kyle Sousa. “Brendan has pushed himself to new limits throughout the last four years and it was a great day for our program to see one of the all time OA greats take the record and the victory in dominating fashion.”
After taking first in the meets at Stoughton and Foxboro, and finishing seventh in the Ocean State Invitational 5K (in a time of 15:41.1), Thomas set a new record in his first home meet of the season. He took first in a time of 15:42, breaking a 10-year-old Borderland State Park course record, which had been set in 2013 by King Philip’s Owen Gonser. Thomas will be back at his home course on Tuesday against Mansfield and can help the Tigers clinch at least a share of a fourth straight Davenport division title.
