Comments on returning players: We have a great group of returning athletes. I am excited to see the difference a year of maturity will make with this group of kids.

Comments about your team’s strengths/weaknesses and any goals for the season: We are a young team with just one returning senior. We should be competitive in the middle distance and distance following a successful CC season. We have a couple of new kids working on the throws and field events that are getting things figured out. We have a great group of kids who like to push each other. I also have a hand full of our football kids who came out for the first time who are going to help us with some points. I feel like we have a great team chemistry again this year.
Outlook for your league – Where do you see you team fitting in? In the NCTL, Kingston and Mayville have been strong over the past few seasons. In the region, Ubly has been the team to beat and I think this will be between these three at the local level.
