2025 Outlook: While there has been individual success on the district and state level, the girls will look to snap a 13-meet losing streak in duals. Improved depth should help that become reality. A talented freshman class joins the team and will mix with several athletes who have undergone a trial by fire the last two seasons. The coaching staff is cautiously optimistic and excited to see the girls compete and improve.
