Team Name: Palmerton Blue Bombers
Head Coach: Bill Zeky
Sport: Cross Country
League: Colonial League
2020 Record: Boys 10-8; Girls 4-14
Key Players Lost: Mike Noyola
Key Returning Players: Owen Hibell, Bryce Marino, Brance Fronheiser, Aaron Simpson, Jordan Mann, Natalie Mosier, Cece Pyfer
Outlook: For the first time in a long time, the boys team has a lot of experience. Owen Hibell is coming off a stellar season in track and is ready to lead the deep boys team. It’s hard at this point to even predict a definitive top 7. It should be very competitive amongst the bomber boys this year. Many runners are ready to make the jump into the upper echelon. We are looking to build on our winning season last year. I think with all these boys pushing each other this season, we should continue to see more success in 2021.
The girls are bringing back the 2020 Colonial League individual champion, Natalie Mosier. She is still hungry and continues to work hard to be the best she can be. She will be joined by a few less girls this year. The team lost some runners to other sports. Cece Pyfer will be back and is poised for a great fall season after an impressive finish to her freshman track campaign.
