The 5-foot-8 senior broke the tape at the New Hampshire Meet of Champions, clocking a 17:55.30 to finish nearly five seconds ahead of her next-closest competitor. Fischer also ran the fastest all-divisions time of the day in winning the Division 1 state tile, breaking the tape in 18:16.50 and leading the Cardinals to a second-place finish as a team. Bishop Guertin was also runner-up at the MOC. Fischer still had enough in the tank to take seventh (18:47.0) at the New England Cross Country Championship, lifting the Cardinals to 7th place showing. Also the 2019 NHIAA Girls Cross Country Runner of the Year, she is a 16-time All-State honoree between track and cross country, and has received All-New England recognition four times. Her athletic resume is all the more impressive given that she competes despite dealing with chronic Lyme disease.
Fischer has maintained a 3.86 GPA in the classroom. She has signed a National Letter of Intent to run on scholarship at Providence College this fall.
A member of the Cardinals’ Nordic ski team, Fischer serves on the leadership team of Bishop Guertin’s Campus Ministry, helping to organize high school masses and performing community outreach. Also a eucharistic minister at the high school and at St. Marie’s Catholic church, she has donated her time as a preschool religious education volunteer in the Seeds/Promises program in addition to volunteering on behalf of local road races.
