2024 Outlook:
For the girls’, The main question is how often we’ll have four soccer players who will really help us when they are available to run.

For the boys’, We return a solid nucleus, but we had really solid 5-7 runners last year with Ben Keenan, Patrick McMurtrie and Gavin Mahon and Thomas Scheidel. Duke Ebert will be solid up front. The big question this year is how much can the juniors and sophomores continue to improve while remaining healthy?
