2022 Outlook: “The boys team returns five runners (Bruck, Kane, Young, Jones, Rubino) from last years district team which finished 5th in the AAA Classification. The boys finished Runner Up in the Colonial League which ended their run of three consecutive CL championships. The team has a nice mixture of veteran leaders with postseason experience (Kane competed in the 2019 State Championship) as well as some very promising freshman and underclassmen. The team has been working very hard together this summer to improve as a group as arguably two of the best runners in school history, Alex Kane and Dominik Lisicky, are starting their collegiate running careers”

“The boys have been pushing each other throughout the summer with their training as well as improving their strength and conditioning. We do not have a clear cut number one runner and there are varsity spots available. The team is incredibly motivated. They want to contend for the league and district titles.”
