Key Returning Runners:
Cate Haring (senior): PIAA State qualifier first three years. Cate works extremely hard and is an excellent leader.
Addie Kehoe-Huck (junior): Addie came on strong at the end of last season and we’ll rely more on her this year.
Ainsley Tighe (sophomore): PIAA District XI medalist. Lots of talent and potential for a successful season.
Will Haring (senior (and Cate’s twin)): Will has been a medalist the past two years at the District meet, overcoming so early season injury last year to do so.
Thomas Grubb (senior): Tommy was a medalist last year at the District meet and has worked hard to improve
Michael Rofaiel (senior): Michael had a consistent junior year. Looking forward to his steady improvement to help us even more this year
Gavin Mahon (junior): Gavin has had great workouts all summer and has been a key cog in both his first and second years
Thomas Scheidel (junior): Thomas has also been a key component of teams his first two years.
2025 Outlook:
On the girls side, our numbers are really down. However, our top three runners are sound and they will be fine.
For the boys, staying healthy is key this year. Losing Duke Ebert to graduation is big, but the seniors have stepped up all summer with the way they have worked and led their teammates in workouts.
