2025 Outlook: We are looking forward to this season. Both teams have been working hard all summer to get ready. After losing 6 seniors to graduation, the boys team is young.
However, they are prepared to succeed. The girls are returning several key runners with the experience necessary to take them far. Our goal is to work as a team, improve each week, and conquer all challenges that come our way.
