Outlook: Both the boys and girls teams qualified for the state 2A meet last year. The girls have a slightly easier path to return with five of seven runners back this year. Lusis is one of only two returning boys, but he’s one of the West Sound’s top runners and finished second at districts last year and 31st at state.
