Outlook: Both the boys and girls teams made it to the state 1A meet last season and return enough talent to do it again. The boys are the reigning league champions and took second at districts at 11th at state last year. With every varsity runner returning, plus a couple of talented freshman, it could be a big year for the team. The girls return four of their top five from their 14th place at state last year and has 16 runners this year, the highest number in program history.
